is anyone using the setup?? how was the fitment and where di you order yours?? i cant find anywhere that has these in stock and i neew a radiator asap!

 

yeah i got mine
and its a CLOSE FITMENT BUT **** IT RUNS COLD

 

I wouldn't waste money on the radiator. Just get an OEM replacement radiator (found for around $130 shipped to you) that also comes with a lifetime warranty.

You got pics? I originally was going to get go with a Koyo. When I tried to put it in.. the posts didn't even line up. Thats why I went with C&R.

 

i saw them at http://www.prostreetonline.com but i didnt check if they had them in stock.


but id also like to hear about this radiator as i was thinking about getting one sometime in the near future also

 

We are happy with our Koyo Radiator
check out radiator.com to do a price comparison

If your planning on increasing your horsepower they perform well.

 

i also got koyo radiator, bolts up exactly like stock. No problems.

 

gotta agree with andyd
oem rads have aluminum cores, just the end tanks are plastic. if you're getting it for bling, so be it, but it's not going to help performance unless you track your car, and it's running big power.

 

why are u upgrading the radiator?

 

i have a brand new stock (metal top and bottom) replacement if anyone is interested

I got an all metal (no crappy plastic end tanks) OEM replacement from http://www.radiatorworld.com for $130 shipped.

 

I have a Koyo that fit like stock. It runs very well, even without a heatshield.

my radiator had a leak on the top endtank, and i didnt want to get another crappy plastic endtank one.


but i found a oem metal endtank one so it all worked out

 

I got mine from i radiator shop for 130 it says honda and koyo on it.

 

I just ordered a brand new OEM replacement shipped from cali to wisc for 60...

 

HANDS UP-THIS THREAD IS BEING HI-JACKED!

I just got my C&R on monday and it comes with a 21psi cap. Is this too much? I am running the C&R for the "bling factor" and have only bolt-ons. I read somewhere here that someone ran the same cap and blew out the heater core! Obviously this is not my desire, so if anyone here has any thoughts, they would be appreciated.

Also... what is the stock cap rated at?

DONT SHOOT!

 

The OEM standard for caps (which are almost always Denso, along with the radiator) is 19psi. I know for a fact that Prelude OEM is Denso, so I'm willing to bet that you'll be fine running a 21psi cap.

Thank you. I've been doing some additional research and along with your help and other honda-tech information, I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.-5.0

 

Well, I just installed my C&R and everything went smooth as could be. No problems with the 21lb. cap, no leaks. Phew.

It seems to maintain the same temp while running at highway speeds as the stock one (180deg.) But while idleing I've noticed a 15-20 deg. difference in water temp. For a while anyway. If idling for an exteded amount of time.... the temp does go up. Duh!

But it seems to me like the most noticible decrease in water temp lies in the fact that it stays cooler at idle for longer than OEM. Other than that it performs the same. LOL... its a radiator.

 

yeah but i dont know why my koyo runs so cold is it because my thermo stats is not working? or its not the rite thermostat?

I don't know what kind of koyo you tried. I also got koyo radiator, bolts up exactly like stock. No problems.

 

damn those thing are thick as hell... I need one of those now....

 

Yes they are twice as thick as hell. For me $350 is worth the money because I have a turbo lude. But make sure you getting for 92-96 lude or 90-93 Accord, not for 94-97 Accord or 97-01 lude.
