i just got a b18c1 swap in my 99 civic ex and i am going to buy a performance radiator and my question is if i buy the one for the integra is that going to affect vtec ingagment due to the temp being so low. There is a guy who installed a stock integra radiator on his civic and he said his car never got above 185 ......going to order tonight iam not sure which to get yet thanks

 

I have 2 suggestiosn for you

1. if your going to upgrade to a performance radiator, then why get the integra radiator when the civic radiator in engineered to cool the civic motor.

2. Order a PWR radiator from Mike Laskey, he is a member on this board and sells them for $290 shipped. They are the utmost quality from a very dependable seller. His SN on this board is Ninesecrx..

 

sorry i forgot to add that the guy who has the integra radiator in his civic also has a motor swap.....

 

It still doesnt matter, if you own a civic OR integra, and you have a performance radiator such as Fluidyne, PWR, or C&R, it will cool the motor sufficient enough.. i know alot of guys with integras that run civic radiators and have no cooling issues whatsoever, so your civic will be fine with a single civic radiator

 

i have a teg radiato but it is not after market. get the civic fluidine it will look much cleaner and will cool more than you need.
