Default C&R of Fluidyne Radiator? Is one better than the other?

I need a radiator for my "Project H22-Civic."

Is one better than the other? For sure, I won't be running the stock CX one.

Fluidyne. It's the one I've trusted with domestics for a long time and they work really, really well

I think I am going to go with a C&R! In a email from Rob (mr.hi-rev) he said that there Civic Drag radiator is the size of an integra's but is "Drop In" for the civics?

Is there any one that can confirm this?

Go with C&R, they pressure test the radiators and Fluidyne doesn't. They are located right down the road and that drag civic he was talkin about...h22 transverse RWD full tube chassis methanol fed carbon fiber bodied boosted and all - one bad mother ******~~

I just called C&R and decided to buy my radiator from them. They also provide a slim fan. It's only one side, but their one fan pulls 1000cfm, whereas both stock fans pull only 870cfm.

All aluminum construction with a good guarantee. Right now they have a deal where you can buy their silicone upper and lower hoses and radiator for $570 (no shipping). That price is 20% off they said.

Probably still a little thinner. The stock fans protrude quite a bit.

True, but with Fluidyne, you need thin fans. Most of those dual fans are almost $300.

I've got the stock fans on mine. Why would you need thin fans?

C&R all the way! i personally have been to their shop and they have definetly got it together. the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and Rob is a good guy. we used one of their radiators on an h22 swap into a 97 coupe, and another on an ls/vtec. no one can match their quality, hands down!
