well my radiator has a leak that just got bigger, and i dont feel like fixing it agean so im getting a new one.
my uncle works at a parts store so im going to get an oem one.
i want a half size radiator because im doing a turbo swap soon.
i figure why buy the same one i have if i can get better
i heard that 94 neon radiators worked so i ordered one but i got a full size, i called him and told him that it was a dif. one i wanted, he went on the comp. and sead there is no smaller one for a 94 neon...

anyway, so that method is out of the question.

im most likely going to get a 92 si eg civic rad. the half size duel core radiator.

but i wanted to confirm that this was the best method. has anyone found a better half size rad?

i beleave i head that 02 gti radiators work well but i forget exactly what i was told...

 

95-99 neon NON AC radiator is the half radiator

or you can get an eg rad but its a little bigger you might have to cut your rad support or have it lean

 

although the neon doesnt have a pressure cap you will need to get an inline one from a parts store

 

yea i know all that info already, but according to the parts store comp. the half size neon rad. doesnt exist, i assume they just dont carry it... so im just dropping that idea... i know i could get it somewhere else but the price differance is an 80$ differance, so i m deffinately getting an oem that is carried by this part store.

i wanted to confirm that the eg was the best way.

and she if anyone else knows anything about the gti rad...

 

Del Sol VTEC dual core half FTW; although frankly, if you don't want to lean or use a new crossmember, I'm out of solutions for ya

 

i didnt really want to do much chopping or fabricating of anything but it looks like thats what im going to have to do. the del sol vtec one is the same as the civic right?

 

are all 92 civic si's half rads or is it only non a/c ones or something like that?

will the ef hoses work fine with the 92 si half rad?

are there any write ups on how to put it in? i searched and didnt find any...

 

I've gone through the hassle of trying to use a 92-95 dual core civic radiator on the stock cross member since I'm B16 turbo'd but it has a slight lean.

From what I know the neon radiator can be used for you have to buy a water neck for it then cut the hoses to place it.

For the money I'd get a Full-race traction bar and the PWR radiator, As soon as I have enough money this is the next modification I'm getting.

Do it right the first time if you're looking for more room.

You have to cut some out, drilling holes won't allow it to sit low enough.
