Hey guys Its radiator time once again. Since I have been threw two radiators for the crx in a year its time to junk the ones with the crappy plastic ends on them. The reason both have failed. So I am looking into an all aluminum one. Anyways I was wondering if anyone on here had used them and if so what brand did you go with. I want to have one ordered asap as mine is starting to leave puddles under the car.

 

i wonder how youre breaking them ive never done that to any stock one.. you slammed or something? but if any id go with mishimoto (225 shipped) or maybe even blackworks (188 shipped)

 

I'm kinda wondering how you broke them too...

 

Nope stock height. First rad died cause it had like 175k on it. The second one was new. But looks like it got unlucky and had something come up and hit it on the bottom section of the plastic and damaged it. I guess the South Carolina heat gets to them and makes the plastic brittle. So going with an all aluminum one. After research the Mishumoto rad is garbage for fitment. Looking into a DNA Motorsports one and a Koyo.


EDIT: After looking around I ordered the DNA one as it has new slim fans and I can have it by Friday. Since the car is going to autox this weekend I sorta need the rad asap.

 

You could use a Integra radiator. They are all metal dual core
I got mine from autopartswarehouse it works well.

 

You can even get all brass aftermarkets.
I picked one up local for $60 long ago.

 

Back in the day you can go with an all metal one from places like www.radiator.com and I believe they had lifetime warranty as well.
