I put a fullsize 91 integra radiator in my 93 coupe. It takes time, patience, and a little bit of working with extra radiator mounts, and the removal of your a/c fan mount from the frame. It can be done, however, from experience youd be better off with a half sized duo-core radiator.

Then get a duo core radiator. Youre not going to be able to keep the AC and have the full size radiator.

Yeah, definitely.

I don't know how to keep the condenser with a full 'teg rad - but it's a bit more of a pain in the *** than just swapping out the regular half rad w/ a dual core.

unless your car is over heating there is no point of having a bigger radiator.. you tempature is regulated by a $5 part.. you will not run any cooler and not supose to. if your having over heating problem something is wrong with your engine.
