Default what radiator should i get?

I have a Precison T3/T4 on my 94 4dr b16. its got the single half stock radiator. its gets pretty hot and the fan is pretty much on all the time.

i just found out that i can fit a full length radiator in there. i want one to fill up the space where the AC was. Is there an OE one that i can drop in without mods unlike the GSR one? What about a 4th gen civic dual core?

ex and del sol radiators are dual core and is good enough for your turbo set up. the integra ones are big *** radiators that can fit ur ride also. if u want to save ur money just go for the oem one if u want to go all out go for the fluidyne one

Not the best choice. While it can be done it's more work than it's worth. Like someone said before you, get a Del Sol dual core radiator. It bolts directly in. Someone on here said they were $75 at autozone. I have a buddy here putting down 273 to the wheels on a turbo b18a and he has no problem with his del sol dual core.

From my understanding they're not all aluminum....still dual core but not all aluminum. Also from my experiences you can't go wrong with a dual core aluminum radiator for less than a hundred bucks...

this might sound stupid, but could you just get another civic radiator and fill the spot where the ac core was? and just run the hoses from the bottem of the one to the top of the other, ya know? i dunno, just a thought...not saying i would do this, cuz i need my ac...
