We sell half radiators that will fit with some modification, really cleans up the engine bay and frees up space.

If your still looking for a full size, by the one for the crx.

IF you want a full size get the 90-93 integra one, it bolts right in and has the right size outlets for the b-series motor, the stock rad outlets are smaller than the b16 hoses. Im using this rad now its about double the capacity of the stock crx rad, its much thicker

Neither, unless for some reason you have cooling issues, and unless your running high horse power.

I doubt you will have a cooling issue, you can get one to keep it cooler, but remember cooler is not always a good thing ( if its kept to cool at times )

so i will be good with the 90-93 acura integra fluidyne dual core radiator? all it will do is take a little bit longer to warm up than stock?

and that setup will work with my crx w/ b16a?

thx guys

yeah but i want a performance radiator haha,

dual core fluidyne is what i probably will get for a crx or a 90-93 integra, since the integra holes for the hoses will fit my b16a betta

new question, well i guess its the same one, but not really answered....

when i go with either koyo or fluidyne, do i order the radiator for a 1991 honda crx or a 1990-1993 Acura Integra?

--- i understand that the integra radiator holes for the hoses are bigger which will accomidate the b16's hoses better than the crx's holes which are supposed to accomidate the d-series engine?

so do i order teg or rex? koyo or fluidyne?

I don't understand whats so hard about this, people already told you what to do. If you are not going to turbo the car, get a full size.

i would go full size since you wont be boosting it, thus you have no need for the extra space
