what makes you want to do it? I don't think I would do it just for something to do, but, it will work fine. Most people do it need clearance for a turbo.

yeah it'll work but you have to get one of the extra mounts from your stock full sized radiator and use it as a bottom mount for the civic rad

I wouldn't do it if you still have A/C. Civics have a half-width radiator and a half-width A/C condenser. Integras have both components full width, with the condenser sitting in front of the radiator. Both fans draw air through both components. If you switch to a half radiator, then your fan will only draw air through half of the condenser.

i guess it'll work if you find a way to keep a fan on the condenser too
