My sister Blew my radiator

My sister over heated my enegine and destoyed my radiator tank. I need a oem replacement radiator and i have trouble finding one. If i can't find oem illi guess anything is fine as long as its reasonable. The acura dealer charge a arm and a leg. Any suggestions?

How did she even overheat it, and do you know for sure that was the only damage done?

just look in the marketplace for someone parting out their integra or go to the junkyard.

Re: (zero2hero)

don't get an oem replacement, it will have the same flaw as the original, which is the plastic endtanks. get a aftermarket aluminum rad such as the mishimoto, they are good stuff

you can get one at your local car parts store like autozone, advance autoparts, pepboys..etc. If they don't have one in stock you can get them to order one for you and receive it within a couple of days.

He said OE, not some bullshit company supplied by Autozone/Kragen/Pepboys like ReadyRad. Nothing you get from thsoe places will EVER compare to OE.

When I replaced my radiator I went through these guys. I was honestly suprised because it is holding up better than the OEM one that I had to replace. The only thing that I screwed up on was putting the hoses back on. Make sure you use some of the liquid gasket or the stupid thing will leak on the top on the fans.
