I need a new rad. badly and can not wait until one comes in. I need the car running asap. I need to know if I put a civic radiator back on my car will it be fine since it's colder now anyway. The car can push 487 hp. I wouldn't be diving like an animal but a few pulls here and there. Already searched and looked at the faq's. Thanks for any help. The auto parts store closes at 9pm. Please help me quick.

 

I currently have a 2 row half civic radiatoron the car now that has a leak on the lower tank.

 

Is anyone running a stock oem radiator on there fi car?

 

im still running my stock rad on my em1 with no over heating issue so far. not quite same hp as you tho, 270 hp 180 tq on a stock b16.

 

put it on, see if it works and drive it nicely till you get a better one.

 

gotcha. just wanted to make sure it was possible with no issues. Thanks guys.

 

mine worked fine when i first installed everything also but i had a dual core oem radiator that i swapped in shortly after. i had no problems for the time i used a single core though.

 

Got an OEM dual core Del Sol radiator on my 00GSR. Ran 400hp all day without any cooling issues.

 

What fan do you use... I have a D16z6 and mine overheats after some good pulls WOT shifts..

Some of the coolant ends up in the overflow tank..

 

it sounds like it has nothing to do with your cooling system. to me it sounds like head lift.
