Icon2 Cd5 accord with h22a swap radiator help!

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before. So does anyone have any experience with small radiators into their cd5 accord with an h22a swap I am looking for the smallest radiator to possibly fit onto my bay so I cam have a nice finish to my wire tuck. Anyone know what brand carries some small reliable radiators that will fit my chassis?? Thanks

Mishimoto carries half size radiator for EJs. My brother has one in his EJ6 Hatch with a JDM B18C GSR.

I've heard other guys running half size with no problem in their Accord. So you'll be alright.

Try using an aluminum double core 1/2 size rad for an EJ. There are more than a few H22 swapped EJ's that run them. Along with boosted H22 Accords. So, other than requiring a little bit of fabrication (or a couple zap straps ) to mount them you will have no cooling problems.

Here is a link to how I mounted mine.



2.4L F22, not running yet, However I have no doubts that this rad and fan combo will have no problems cooling this engine. It actually has a larger fluid capacity than the Accord/Prelude full size rad.

You have to relocate the driver side bottom rad support to run a half size rad in a CD

You don't have to relocate it. However, it's much cleaner to do so. There are a few people that I have seen use zip ties instead of doing any fabrication. That's why I mentioned it.

Yes, I know what you're saying, and I said you'll be fine with it as I've seen other Accord guys did it with no problem.

Xenocron.com is where I got my 1/2 rad and slim fan pretty cheap.
Link; Xenocron - Cooling

The combo that I purchased is the Maradyne 13" slim fan and the Civic KOYO Radiator.
As shown in the image posted above the fan fits edge to edge on the rad.
