only if it is a Del Sol Si, with the B16A in it, and yes it will bolt up to your stock 93' civic. the SOHC'd Sol's have the same rad. you have. I have a del sol Dual core rad. in my 92' DX HB

hope this helps.

Technically it was out of the Del Sol VTEC but same difference Looks beefier and fits perfect in my 93 CX

I compared my stock DelSol VTEC radiator, and it is actually thicker than the Spoon street radiator for EG.

Yes, I believe the auto 4 door's were dual core as well.
JaeOne- was it all autos or just the 4 door autos?

It will bolt up just fine. I wouldnt source an automatic radiator only because I think it would have an extra tank for the automatic transmission cooler. No?

i know for a fact the automatic 92-95 civic ex radiator's are dual core, my best friend has one... i asked him if he was going to upgrade his "single core" radiator after the turbo install he said, "no, it's already a dual-core" i looked, yep, it was only on the auto version though. when i got my ls, i got the del sol vtec dual-core installed, perfect drop in, temp gauge never goes above 1/4 of the way even when running all night.

HELP!

Sorry to intrude in the Civic/Del Sol forum, but i found this with search. I was told by a mechanic that Integras also use single/dual cores respectively for their manual/automatics, but have heard nothing else to substantiate this. Do any of you know if this is true? It not, what's my best option considering I can't have anything thicker than stock (for the sake of my turbo/fans fitting)?

Thanks in advanced!
Nick

Default Re: is the delsol radiator a dual core??? (Nikolai)

is there a difference between the auto del sol si radiator and the manual one? because i did an auto to manual swap a year and a half ago and my temperature gauge never goes high than 1/3 of the way and when im driving on the freeway expecially on cold nights the gauge is only 1 to 2 bars up some times even on the lowest one. although i have seen i go 1/2 way on a very rare ocassion. should i be concerned about this? or should be something to be proud about?
