Need a much smaller radiator for my turbo setup? What do I do?
My turbo manifold doesnt allow for the upgraded fluidyne I already had on my 97 Prelude before going turbo. I have no a/c. Should I just run a half sized civic aluminum radiator w/ a fan or what? I know I would have to mod the mounts for whatever I'm putting in there and just worried about overheating. I do have the mugen thermostat n fan switch now. All suggestions are welcomed.

I'm running a Koyo 1/2 size 32mm for a 92-00 Civic Si and a SPAL 2044 13" fan. In 95 degree heat I've never went above 208. Working just fine.

As he said, run a 1/2 size civic rad, 95-00 I think are the right years. Almost every high hp H22 build is running one of these rads. Hell, I run a stock del sol 1/2 rad on my JDM h22, and it cools like a dream! I expect to upgrade when I boost, but thats part of the fun of modding.
