Well my radiator is crapping out on me. I need some help.

I've been to alot of places, and done alot of research, now that I have it, I need some hardcore opinions from you guys.

I plan on going turbo in the fall, and i am on a low budget.

I would like a radiator that is all metal instead of plastic crap.

Also, does a EF radiator fit in my car because http://www.absoluteradiator.co...rod=9 has a all metal EF radiator at an affordable price.

What do you guys think?

 

do more research, especially on here- a lot of guys have gone with Fluidyne or C&R, I think. You might find their opinions useful.

 

get a metal one

 

Do EF radiators fit in DA integras with no modifications?

 

I got the PWR rad from Earl, all aluminum, clean welds, no plastic. I've been through 2 stock plastic fuggers, and they both eventually leaked from the plastic endtanks. I did have to fab some brackets because my passenger side fan didn't line up with the mount holes, but overall . Great customer service too.

 

I can get you the fluidyne for $363.99 plus freight.

 

fluydine performance 3 layer aluminum + mugen thermal stat and switch = always below normal temp = good for turbo and motor

add them together = $450~$470

i think it's worth it.

 

I got a Modine all metal radiator from my local Napa for under $150. Looks great and stays cool.

 

I've been through two OEM radiators myself, which both cracked. I bought a Civic PWR radiator from Earl for $290 shipped.

 

I would go with either a PWR or C&R.

 

Who is earl and is a PWR all aluminum?

 

i replaced my rad about 3 months ago..it had cracked on the top (shitty OEM) plastic, I replaced it with an all aluminum radiator from http://www.radiator.com works great!!! I'd suggest replacing the thermo while you're at it! the rad cost me $149 shipped...damn good price, it's an OEM replacement but it's all metal, ck it out..peace

Yea I think PWR is what I want, I plan on boosting in the fall so I might as well fork over the extra bucks and be ready.

Anyway, before I talk to Earl, how does PWR compare to Fluidyne?

Oh yea, Custom mounts for the PWR .. Is it worth just spending the extra money on a fluidyne that drops right in?

From what I remember reading about the two, the PWR is a better quality radiator with a better design and build quality. Fluidyne is good, but it's mostly name recognition (as far as Hondas go).

 

Quality is top notch, and its priced much better too.
