I am purchasing a Fluidyne radiator in the next few days and i just have a quick question. In my coupe, i have B18c1 swap, and i also installed a Integra radiator I picked up from a junkyard with my own custom mounts. My question has to do with the fans and clearance issues with the new fluidyne radiator. Will I have to buy a new fan for the fluidyne unit or will i be able to use the existing fan from the Integra radiator. I am planning on getting the Integra radiator from Fluidyne, and was wondering if the Fluidyne Civic one will be adequate for my B18c1? Anyone with experience or who has one, please let me know...

 

What's wrong with your integra radiator? Should be more than enough.

Are you using both fans or just the passenger side one?

 

I seem to have a leak some where in the top hat of the radiator, it sprays coolant to the left side of the engine bay near my intake filter. I haven't pinpointed it, but i have replaced my radiator cap and checked all my hoses thoroughly, no holes or cracks located. I am currently using just the passenger side fan.

I haven't had any overheating problems yet, but i want to fix this before something bad happens. I will flush my coolant system and see if that helps, but i doubt it.

I got a integra radiator, and I got FAL dual fans hooked up to it. Its thinner than stock ones. About 1/2 the depth, but I am pretty sure that Fluidyne is thincker radiator than stock integra, so you might need to play with the mounts.
BTW use integra one, the size of the hose is different on civics, they are smaller than integras.

 

I just want to know if i will be able to use my existing Integra fan on the Fluidyne radiator...or not...

 

I've got a B18C in my 95 coupe and I bought a CIVIC Fluidyne Radiator with a FAL fan and I haven't had any problems.
