My 1993 Si Htatch with a B16A3 seems to keep leaking after we fix the seal. At the moment it hasn't overheated and it has been runing cool again, but I know eventually the leak will begin to get worse agian. Should I invest in another Radiator? It's coming from the bottom part of the radiator where the hose conencts, I have replaced the clamp but other than that I don't know what else it could possibly be. Someone help A.S.A.P!

 

daym! I just got it back today too! I was hoping it was just a leak, now the leak has slowed but a leak is still a leak! ;[ wonder how cheap I can get one for


anybody else got any suggestions?

 

just get a aftermarket koyo radiator..it'll be a lot better but more $..but whatever u do, just replace it..it'll be a lot easier for u in the near future.

 

I can't fathom the mind that can't come to such a simple logical conclusion.

"Hmmmm .... my radiator is leaking. What should I do? Replace it .... ? Nah, that's too easy."

Buy an OE replacement from RadiatorBarn.com and be happy. You need the radiator from a Del Sol VTEC. It has 1-1/4" outlets, where as your stock radiator has 1-1/8" outlets.

 

Actually, I bought a new hose and a new clamp, spent about seven minutes (15 altogether cause I had to jack the car up) reclamped the new hose and voila! No leak, No overheating and all under 20 bucks. ^5 for me. Glad I didn't spend money on a new radiator, and I already have a Del Sol VTEC Radiator so why spend extra money? Guess you like to spend money on easily fixable items. Thanks anyways..

You didn't mention what radiator you had. As far as your first post, I assumed that you had your stock Si radiator. You also didn't mention you used your stock hoses either, I figured you used the hoses that came with your motor.
