Default best fitting full legnth radiator for EG?

what is the best fitting full length radiator for a 92-95 Civic?

88-91 Civic/CRX
90-93 Integra
94-01 Integra

i have seen some full lengths that fit like complete ***, and are ghetto fabbed into place. looking to have at least a halfway OEM look to it...

my buddy has a 88-91 Civic aluminum radiator that i have been trying to talk him out of, but in searching it looks like most seem to use a DC radiator (although almost none of the pics work anymore) and i have seen some ghetto *** installs of those too...

My rad is from a 92 GSR i believe... and it fits awesome! Looks like it was meant to be there.

94-01 integra. you have to fabricate lower and upper mounts but it fits perfect. a bit overkill but

yup, i agree with donut. if you're going for the Koyo DC2 rad, there's actually a 'shorter' version for the ITR...that's the one you want.

other than that, you'll have to cut out all the mounts for the OEM rad and AC mounts, and then weld them back on. mind you, you'll have to lower the mounts a bit to make sure you have hood clearance with the larger rads, and you'll probably have to get rid of your lower splash shield as well....

as for a fan, i went with an EG single FAL fan. 2 fans like the DC2 style will definately be too much

here's mine, and yes, as donut said; it's overkill...

well the one i snagged up was originally for a EF i guess, and was in a DA...

the splash shield thing bothers me, i dont have one cuz my traction bar is seriously in the way. which will be in the way im sure of the radiator being lowered...****

overkill? perfect.
