So far they have been spot on, e-mailed me confermation of my order, then a link to my tracking information with FedEx.

Here is the radiator I ordered.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">This radiator has rugged, all metal construction(brass and copper with a black finish), not plastic tanks like the factory OEM radiator. The radiator core is twice as thick as the factory radiator, (1 5/16 instead of 11/16), providing twice the cooling capacity. This radiator also has twice the number of cooling tube rows as the factory radiator, (2 instead of 1), providing twice the flow. Although this radiator does not have the maximum cooling capacity of the All-Aluminum Radiators, it is an excellant choice for hard driving, high heat conditions. This is a direct replacement radiator, no modifications required. </TD></TR></TABLE>

It was 140 shipped from Ca. to Wi. and comes with a lifetime warranty as long as I own the car.

Once it arrives Ill update with pics, and install.

-Jake

Edit: Update.

The install was swap in swap out, and very easy. There are two pipes that come out of the bottom of the radiator, I was informed that those were tranny coolant lines for an automatic, and they come on most aftermarket radiators. I plugged them.

Old

New

WOW!


Checker auto quoted me 199.99 for a 1990 Acura Integra radiator.

Driven ....your pictures are down, so I continued w/ this post.

that sounds pretty sweet..i wish i didn't have 3 radiators sittin in my spare bedroom now though.

First i bought an Eg (the 1/2 size) radiator thinkingit would work perfect...it was too much work for me so its sitting brand new in the box in my room. Then i bought a stock CRX radiator from http://www.radiators.com and they sent me one with little "arms" out the bottom so i have to either moddlify those (cut them off) ot send it back at my expence. And these are all still the stock aluminum radiators.

sheeshee

 

^ Ebay y0!

 

goto http://www.crracing.com and they have eg style radiators that will fit in crx's with the crx brackets

you know those "arms" are an automatic transmision cooler I/O, my radiator fit without removing those.
how much you want for that EG radiator?

I have the same radiator in my car.
Paid the same price in 'Oct 2002.

If you have a header, don't plan on keeping the A/C fan.

I crammed mine in there when I first installed the radiator, but my header was right against the fan motor, so it had to go.


Nice radiator for the price.

 

I have an 89 CRX Si with ZC swap and Kamikazi header. I ordered aftermarket SPAL fans that aren't much smaller than the OEM. I would like to get the all-metal radiator that you are talking about but am worried there won't be enough space for the fan. I need my A/C. This is Texas. The core is a little more than .5" thicker than OEM. I did not see anything that said how much thicker the entire radiator is over OEM. As soon as you get that puppy installed, please post the results.

 

let me know how it works out for you cuz im thinking of getting a PWR or Fluidyne

 

I have the same radiator you just ordered. I like its a big improvement over the stock one in terms of cooling efficency.

I just bought a used 92 LS radiator in great condition from the guys @ HighEnd*Shameless plug* for $50 from Mike Thomas. Dropped the temperate gauge down a noticible amount. Rather happy with it and the fit but yeah, my DCs are VERY close to the radiator fans. This can be fixed by using an aftermarket fan but I've had no issues with cooling since I've done this upgrade. And the size and capacity difference is definitely noticible. Couldn't be happier with the results. - Darrell

alex you don't have to plug the automatic transmission cooler leads.
they go to a small liquid to liquid cooler inside the radiator, but do not actually tap into the cavity of the radiator. i left mine open.

I couldn't wait. I just got my double core radiator like yours above. Pretty nice for $129! The body work should be finished this week. I'll have the fans and rad in by the weekend. Then new cat and resonator on Monday. I'll have the car inspected, insured and on the road that same day. Man I miss driving my rex!

 

clean!!

I didnt find out till later that you dont need to plug them like Stan said Its already in though...so I really dont mind. I'll take an installed pic tomorrow to show the difference.

 

Good to know for future reference!! Heard lots of good things about this rad, too.

just wait until you put that 13:1 CR engine in. not to mention the plastic radiator never survives a removal.

what Stan said, plus, it's a cheap upgrade of an OEM unit. Provides better cooling for those who need it (Live in Vegas, race the car, etc, etc).

 

Yeah I can see you needing a high flow one for like track lap racing but even on my high comp motor daily driven, sstock wont cut it?

What about a daily driven built d16 @ 16-20psi? Im thinking boost dramatically increases heat right

Im in Canada so chilly weather would help lol

But also that copper/alooy one this guy bought, its a fat ******, wouldnt be able to clear a nice equal length manifold and snail....

 

i would like a better radiator because i take lots of trips to the mountains and i dont get alot of air flow since i dont go that fast since its just a ton of turns and cooling is needed for your rpms always being in the 5500 rpm range
