Quality radiators?

What radiators are you guys running? My OEM one kinda pooped the bed after 15years, so i’m running a civic one in my integra but it’s half the size, and still the same width so i want to upgrade to a more efficient one

What would you recomend? I’ve heard good things about the Koyo half sizes, theyre beefy as fuck but they are like 260$ with no fan :frowning:

This seemed like a pretty decent one, plus it comes with a fan and a nice mount: it’s made by CXRacing, which makes the Ebay intercoolers a lot of people run with success

I had good luck with koyo in about anything I have had.

3

did your oem radiator fan bolt up fine? I would think mine would hit the tranny, it’s close now, and the koyos are like 3" thick

4

I had clutch fans in everything so I couldnt tell you.

koyos are fantastic. In your honda, best bang for the buck radiator around is mishimoto IMO. Cheap and great. Not ebay crappy made cheap for 100 bucks, but not baller koyo for 400 either. Call Paul at swerve for pricing. I think they’re somewhere right around $200 off the top of my head, but you’ll need to call to get an actual price.

i’ve used koyo and fluidyne without any issues, and i know of a ton of people running koyo’s.

edit andy is right, mishimoto is pretty respectable too for the $

7

like these guys said the mishimoto is a solid piece. i have installed many of them in 240’s and the quality is awesome.
and u sure cant beat the prices on them for what ur getting

8

What i am looking at, is the mishimoto ones are either full size integra radiators (i need half size) , or they are civic ones(half size)

the only problem is that they are exactly the same, just cut directly in half, would i run into any cooling issues or anything like that?
(i can’t see how a b16 has a halfsize and a b18 needs a full size?)

When I replace the 'vette’s I’m going with a http://www.dewitts.com/.

buy that radiator w/o a fan then buy this fan

make a custom shroud like this:

and never have to worry about cooling again, you can build the baddest nastiest sleaved motor/turbo setup and that will keep it cool … all for a little over the price of the mishimoto itself

12

how is that fan staying on the shroud?

13

those four bolts on the perimeter?

14

the four bolts that are on the fans feet

i personally have the cxracing radiator and have no problems at all with it

YOU CAN NOT BEAT IT FOR THE PRICE that you can get it for on ebay

btw for that setup, the most important part is the fan and shroud imo, here is a video of that fan in action

+1, shroud makes all the difference.

Not sure what options you have for your specific car OP, I have a Fluidyne in mine…FAL 220/240 fans (got them for a good deal, otherwise I would’ve gotten better) and no problems as long as the fuse doesn’t blow haha.

eric, half size will be plenty. They are much more efficient than stock.

Although, honestly, the stock ones really do the job just fine IMO, but it’s more of a piece of mind part to me. I have and like the mishimoto.

17

pretty much any halfsize aluminum radiator will work well, i would stay away from the 3" thick ones as they start to interfere with turbo parts etc and the dual core work just fine

like he said^^ mishimoto work great, and if he can get you one cheap locally i always try to support the locals :tup:
