    radiator swaps

    just wondering if any body has swapped out for a smaller radiator like a 92-up civic radiator since its only half as wide as ours in the 8g and will allow more room for the turbo if you have what else did you find.

    Perhaps http://www.koyorad.com/ , i've seen quite a few setups


    - If you've got nothing nice to say, what the hell is wrong with you!?!

    Brandon, aka Underated or Underated4G64 swapped to a smaller radiator. He doesn't seem to come on the boards anymore, but his car was super clean and he had a ton of room in the engine bay

    I used to have the civic radiator and it worked pretty good. The key is to buy a name brand one, not some BS ebay crap. You will spend a solid $400 on a radiator and fan setup, plus about $50 to have the proper mounts welded to it.

    If you're gonna swap a radiator, go with a Koyo, CSF, or Cryomax... Those are all good companies. Try 1800Radiator. They have good pricing

    The OEM civic radiators are junk, they are barely good enough to cool the stock B16's and B18's

    Def go Koyo, CSF or Fluidyne
