neither will fit perfectly....theyre a bit tall. maybe trimming the hood or using an aftermarket lower crossmember with rad supports would lower it enough to clear..

i do believe the rad is wider. what engine do you have in your car? stock d series? cause the hose sizes are larger for the teg radiators.

actually the DA radiator fits in an EF without a prob.. CLIPSED has one in his 4 door and he didnt have to do anything to make it fit..( to my knowledge )

I too am using the EF rad with my B16 and the previous owner just cut a piece of rubber about an inch wide by 2-3 inches long and wraped that around the inlet and output tubes of the rad. then put the B16 hoses on.. works great.. but yea I have friends that just pinch the **** out of the larger hoses.. (hour-glass looking) but it seems to work..


lunalink.. did you happen to get a chance to try the swap?!

The '94+ integra radiator is the same height as an EG radiator. It will not fit without leaning it. However you cant lean it because the engine is in the way. Just get the correct radiator.

I ran a stock EF rad in my H2B. I had to make a custom upper hose, but I still had stock header clearance and it cooled the engine just fine.
