Well I screwed by radioator and am getting a new one. I am running 6.5 PSI on a t3/t4 OE Garret. Radiators.com quoted me 360 on a koyo racing radiator and 120 with an OEM replacment. Is it worth the extra to go with the racing radiator? I dont plan on racing, And I think stock radiator should be OK..... THank yhou.

 

I've never needed more than a OEM radiator. Maybe if you were planning on more track time than street use then an AL radiator would be nice. Or if you like the AL look and don't mind paying the extra cash.

A DelSol DOHC Vtec dual core replacement radiator for around $125 is a great radiator choice for the money.

 

screw the look i dont see a reason to pay more when I dont need it.... plus I need a new IC

 

I would err on the side of caution when dealing with an aftermarket turbo engine, even at a relatively conservative 6.5psi. If not for the sake of driving hard, I would get a dual core aluminum for those long, hot, southern, humid summer days stuck in traffic.... But if you really want to be sure I would measure your exhaust temperature and compare.

 

i see you man, but I plan to move up north in a year and dont plan on boosting until the night if you see what I'm saying

 

I am currently running an Integra Fluidyne radiator..works great and will last longer than the OEM ones...

 

OEM sohc civic automatic radiator. It does the trick.

Yep, i've run 1.5bar and not had a problem. Will shoot for 30psi soon.

 

C&R Racing

 

del sol dohc vtec dual core is a nice fairly cheap upgrade.
otherwise, PWR owns

 

anyone running a turbo and a FULL size teg radiator? im not talking about the single side civic style.

i have a C&R and i htink im gonna have a fitment problem with certain turbo manifolds

 

you'll have problems running a full size teg rad on any manifold that doesn't allow for a/c... in other words, all the good ones.
stick to a civic sized. its plenty big if you get a good one and proper coolant
