Hey guys ling time since last post, just curious what full size radiators are compatible with my ex. Currently i only have a small ine with the fan running and it rums good while cool but hets sluggish when warm, burning coolant and oil fairly quick. So looking to swap for a full size one with fan at the pick n pull. Which model and year hondas or acuras should i be looking for to do this?

 

There are no full size radiators that fit a civic, only half.

 

Integra rad will fit. but you'll have to move one mount.

You can move the lower drivers side mount out wider (requires tack weld drill out, and
reweld) once its in the correct position.
upper mounts can be found easily online or fabricated.
Dual core would be the best.

 

Not in any position to fab any mounts atm. Will probably just try and find the other half sized one and hoses at pick n pull then. Does the other radiator have a fan on it or just one?

 

What other radiator?

 

I'm assuming the EX has AC so the other "radiator" is part of the AC system.

 

A new radiator isn't going to fix your issue. Your engine sounds like it's on the way out or you have some head gasket issues. How many times have you overheated it?

 

I could be wrong but on the left theres the radiator and then the right theres some thing like the radiator, i guess it probably is part of ac system? But i think its connected through coolant lines. Only over heated once since iv had it and that was because a hose busted and coolant leaked out. Didnt drive. immediate pull over fix and refill. Could be head gasket because theres always been a runny oil coler on oil pan. Thought about tourqing down head bolts but afraid they may break or strip and ill be stuck with out car. Also read replacing head gasket isnt worth it because after fix theyll always blow faster but could just be BS.

 

Either way a new radiator won't help your issue unless your current radiator is bad already.

 

Yes. You're wrong.

 

Right, thats if he doesn't have the condensor in the way to put a full size radiator in, which wasn't explained.

 

Uh yea, so what could be the issue if the car runs good (acceleration, gets up to speed easier) when the car is cool. But sluggish( bad acceleration, takes a while to get up to speed) when car is warm or ran for say an hour plus?
