Default Anyone have a dual core CIVIC radiator in their 'V'?

Just curious to see if anyone has this, especially you turbo'd V's out there. How is those it fit and what simple modifications are needed to make sure it stays in place? My radiator has a slight crack in it and I figured since I'm building a motor right now I might as well upgrade to a full aluminum radiator with slim fans. Searched but I couldn't find any info on anyone who's tried this.

should be about the same as putting a civic rad in an integra. move the mounts and get the different hoses.

That's what I kinda figured...I checked the dimensions online and the Civic one sits a bit higher so that just worried me a bit. Gonna just go ahead with it and cross my fingers lol.

YUP!! That's what I needed to hear! Thanks qwrty! Yeah I figured as much but the slightly taller height on the civic radiator somewhat worried me. I know I had a civic radiator in my turbo'd DC and it fit perfect, wasn't sure with the V since I'm still new to the world of CRVs.

crv engine bays are actually a little taller than civic/teg.
