I need a smaller radiator...
I just installed a larger turbo and different mani on my DOHC ZC, and no longer have room for my fullsize radiator. I need a pretty small radiator, please suggest one, as well as which hoses I should use with it. Thanks.

w/ the EG civic radiator you just got to cut a small portion of the double layer part of your hood... to make the radiator go for clearance...
btw the EG RADIATOR is also dual core if you were wondering....

Heres a good deal.

Uh...that is not a KOYO radiator in the picture...it's an OEM replacement. Notice the plastic end tanks. KOYO and all the performance radiators have an all aluminum construction.
Not saying this is a bad radiator...my rad on my Turbo Civic is an OEM Del Sol VTEC dual core radiator...and it has plastic end tanks.
Also...if you buy from Auto-Zone...it's lifetime warranty. Even if you smack your radiator with a hammer and put a hole in it, they'll replace it for free.

You sir are wrong.
Not all "eg" not come with a dual core radiator. It's a single core piece of crap. Mine busted on me a week after i got my swap.
Get the del sol dual core radiator like the other guy already said.

i have a del sol vtec rad and it didn't fit in my EF 88 hatch
it's from Koyo and it was too tall... but then again it may not be the "dual core" which may be a different model
