Default putting a civic radiator in a 95 Integra GSR

Was just wandering how hard it would be to get an aftermarket civic radiator and put it in my 95 Integra GSR to free up some room. Is that a smart thing to do or will my car run hot if i have that small of a radiator.
Thanks

you shouldn't have any issues with overheating at all - pretty easy to do actually - just have to make custom mounting brackets for it to fit correctly and then run the coolant hoses

why would you want to downgrade your cooling system ?

A Civic (Halfcore) Fluidyne or Koyo radiator will actually cool better than the stock Integra Radiator. It won't be downgrading.

Why would you call it a downgrade? Depending on what you use the car for should matter on Radiator Size on my LS/VTEC i put a CX 5spped Radiator its the smallest from all the Hondas and it carry's the less amount of water which also means less weight and faster circulation
