I have a 93 hatch and picked up a radiator out of a 99 Si that was wrecked because I was told these were dual core which would help cooling my B18 much better than my CX radiator. I went to swap in the radiator last weekend and both radiators looked exactly the same, with matching part numbers and all. Was the Si radiator really a single core? Any help is appreciated, don't wanna waste my time swapping radiators for no reason.

I believe so...i mean same part #'s....come on

 

Just look at your radiator to see if the si radiator is thicker than yours.

 

i believe the dual core radiator is the GSR. more than likely all the civics carried similar radiators

 

GSR rads are single and longer.

DelSol rads are dual core. I got one in my 2kek with B18C1 it helps alot

I was thinking about the GSR one, but too much hacking involved. And how much does the dual core help? My temp gague stays well below 50% and has never risen above that. Does it drop it even more?

Also, the radiator doesnt appear any thicker, if it is it's barely thicker.

I just swapped from a stock Civic single core to a Del Sol VTEC dual core. Going by the stock temp guage, it seems to have little/no cooling advantage.
