I was wondering if it is possible to install a integra wide radiator in my 98 civic? I took out a/c radiator and it looks kinda empty in there so I was wondering if I can install a wide radiator to put it in the a/c radiator space. Its an automatic so it will have to include the transmission lines.


Can I do it and if so how do I go about it?
Thanks.

 

easy i bought a 3 row alum. rad from an integra all you do is cut the rad supports (where the rad sits) and move the to where the new rad sits. weld them in done

 

There is absolutely no NEED for bigger radiator, however, just bolt in an integra rad, might have to make some brackets for the top tho, not sure.

 

install the blockoff plate from a base model.

 

Naw. He wants it for aesthetics, not increased capacity.

 

Exactly.

Now I don't know much about getting auto. radiators. Does that limit me to just eBay radiators as I really don't want a used one?

 

Surely there were automatics in Integras? What did they do for transmission cooling? I know there are write-ups for this but I haven't seen anything for automatics.

 

I hope the A/C wasn't removed for the same reason...(image)
I do agree OP, the 1/2 radiators look cheesy.

 

Agreed. Unless it serves a purpose, like making room for a turbo, that big gaping hole looks kinds ridiculous.
