The Civic will work, but the Del Sol's has more cooling capacity.

del Sol is a very cheap alternative to stock and will cool a bit better.

I am never over half with a stock radiator.

del Sol dual core is sitting in my garage though, like it has been for over a year.

eeek...that's crazy...tell your friend to get a water temp gauge... guaranteed it's HOT in there.

Stock civic rad is fine w/ B18c swap... a del sol would be better... but you shouldn't see any probs.
