I found a great deal on a good condition C&R racing lightweight aluminum radiator..... The car its coming out of is a 92 civic eg hatch, and was not using a fan, just the radiator... I also saw a car in the recent Honda Tuning" magazine with the same radiator..they weren't using a fan either....


My question is, Do I need a fan to use this radiator? I'm pretty sure that my stock fan won't bolt up to this one..

The car is my daily driver

Thanks a lot guys!

 

Well yes and no. If its a highway car then air is always flowing through it and you typically dont need one. If its stop and go traffic in 90 degree heat any radiator will need one. You can buy slim electric fans for very cheap and they cool better than stock. In some cases people will mount these fans in front of the radiator(as a pusher) in order to have that cleaner look.

could always run it and watch it. flush coolant and use water wetter if your in a climate that never ever freezes. even with that and HUGE radiators our racecars overheat if they arent moving.

 

Thanks a lot! just what I needed to know!
