no way. those half raditors will do the same amount of work to cool as the big chunky EF radiators? i'm going to look into this. Any fab that needs to be done?

I had a lot of piping problems with my b16/t too. for a radiator, just get any 92-00 civic radiator.

they say with the 92-95 civic rad the re bar needs to be chopped severly so i'm trying to keep it some what simple. my friend has a 92-95 civic with the stock rad and a smaller fan he runs 11.75 and has no cooling problems

my fan isnt working either and have been driving a year or so without it. Yet the car doesn't overheat unless i let the car idle for 15minutes or so. Fluidyne rocks.

I don't understand how you routed your pipes so that your radiator doesn't fit...
Mine has a hole cut in the support at the drivers side of the radiator and my stock radiator fit fine.

I run a 92-95 civic Fluidyne right now and it was no walk in the park to fit in. But it works fine, better than fine actually.

i'm running place racing mounts. and the reason i routed the piping through where the radiator goes is because it was either that or hack up the front crossmember and have the piping 1 inch of the ground

Maybe because his is a 95 and not a 91.

Do you have any pix of how you routed the intercooler piping? What intercooler are you using ? I just did the same thing on my car but I eliminated the washer bottle , made a hole and ran the piping there . I am also using a delsol radiator no problem.

I have a 90 CRX with a b16a turbo and the Place Racing mounts and I ran my intercooler piping through the hole beside the rad, I had to make it a little bigger but it works fine and I used my stock rad
