Default half size radiator

does anyone have any knowledge on how to install a half size radiator? i installed mine but then it started leaking coolant from the lower hose. i think its because the radiator is for a 92-2000 civic, anyone know how to solve this?

yup. here's a link. https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/qs-civic-style-radiator-end-tanks-2221344/ as for you lower hose leaking, not sure why. but, autozone has a universal hose that some people use. it fits pretty well from what i've seen.

I know what your problem is, Your using a civic radiator, so if your using your integra hoses, they are to big for the radiator inlet/outlet. What you have to do is cut a section civic size radiator hose in stick it inside the integra hose. By doing that, you wont have the leak anymore.

But i see no point of installing a half size unless you are doing a turbo build. I hope you are

if i am not mistaken, the si and the ex have the same port sizes as the integra does. i got a cheapy ebay one for an si, and it fits fine. its the dx that has the smaller inlet/outlets than the integra one.
