Si radiator. It's a little bigger and you can get better cooling. An 90-93 Integra radiator will work too. I'm using an LS radiator in my 90 hatch. It bolted right up.

Whats the cheapest biggest radiator you can get. I sort of remember someone posting a site with a radiator that was like 2x as thick as the stock and it was still relatively cheap (no it wasn't the Fluidyne).

Also is anyone know what 1/2 Rad fits into the Civic. A lot of people say Neon but NO ONE ever knows the year or the details on that. I know 92-95 Civic one is too tall.

I just put an H22 in a 92 Civic hatch. There are serious fan/radiator problems with this swap. What I did to get the car on the road was use the AC fan. I wired it into the regular radiator fan wires and connected it to the radiator. You may have to modify it. The AC fan is slim as hell. This would most likely work for you.

I no longer have A/C in my car but I left both fans on my car, but whenever I see one working I always see the other one working to. So why would you have to rewire it?

I was assuming your fan did not work. When I did this in the 92 Civic, it only has the 1/2 size radiator. The stock fan hit the bleeder for the clutch on the H22, so I moved the AC fan to the stock fans place.

I bought the "High Performance All-Metal(brass/copper) Radiator" It is huge.. fits in stock location.. my fan fit pretty good..

It reminds me of a teg radiator with different fan mounts so you can use your fan.
I love mine. I would recommend it to everyone

Ever since I got my ZC in I noticed it runs a lot hotter than my D15 did. I was thinking it would sure like a new bigger radiator so I think I might order one sometime soon.

B17A hatch;

What are the advantages of the integra radiator?

Is it better (and in what way) than the full width (single core) one that came originally in my 89 Civic Si?

I would use the 92-95 civic radiator, thats what I'm using to keep the weight down.
