i like koyo

 

Any radiator will do on a stock or near stock setup.

If you're putting <400hp, your stock radiator should be able to hold it no problem.

 

I purchased an RCautoworks EG half radiator and 12" slim fan for 140 shipped with the stock connector on the fan because Im too lazy to go to Sears and buy tools. Its usually 125 shipped. I'll let you know how it works out.

 

id just rock the stock one just to save money.. inless u find a extremly cheap one whats the point of investing in a nice rad when it will be basicly the same as stock

 

another point that nobody really takes into effect is that aftermarket market radiators like koyo (SOME) can drop temps by 10-20 degrees from operating temp which is not good on stock apps for gas mileage and performance. I got a 3 core long radiator and it droped my temps by like 25 degrees and the only time that it really gets up to operating temp is when I run it for several passes at the track on a hot day. but normally I just keep it a little low on fluid so I can get it back to regular temps

 

Yeah, you don't want an engine running too cool. However so long as your thermostat is working it should be able to fully or partially close enough to keep the engine running at optimal temperatures. Last time my thermostat failed it failed open, so when I'd hit the highway my temperature needle would drop all the way to C, a minute or so after I hit 55. Replaced the thermostat and the problem went away. I could tool around on sidestreets for hours without getting enough airflow to cause the problem. Having a ridiculously efficient radiator would just have compounded my problem.

However I agree that unless you've got something labor-intensive under the hood, all you really need is an OEM radiator or one with equivalent specs. I remember reading a thread on H-T that recommended using the dual core radiator from a Del Sol VTEC for certain circumstances, but I think it involved extreme engine changes...

for a cheap upgrade just get a rad from an automatic civic, the rad is also twin core my friend found one for 15 bucks

 

That's not an upgrade, that switching radiators.

Amen, that's the way to go.

 

I got a aftermarket fan from Autozone its much faster its real slim too......I've seen a 42mm Aluminum CORE Radiator i think i am going to go with that 1

 

I have had a fluidyne for a few years and it is impeccable in quality but it does sometimes cool too much. Any thing below 40degrees and my temp needle is pegged down but my heater still warms the car well, in goes the cardboard trick. Unless you are going mad turbo I do not recommend anything but stock, plus you will save a grip-o-cash.

 

Get a Del Sol (b16 version) Dual Core Radiator. An aftermarket OEM radiator with lifetime warranty cost less than $100. It will provide more than efficient cooling on a stock to mild setup.
