you could prob hustle the donkees on HT for $200+ easily

Re: Double thick Civic radiator
You can get them for almost half of that on ebay now brand new. I scored mine for like 50 shipped from some ebay business and was the exact same as the oem dual core. Had it for two years and still does great. Think your better off on HT or trying something else.

Re: Double thick Civic radiator
i have the dual core in my gsr/EG hatch. ---- takes HELLA long to warm up all the way. like, 5 minutes at least. i was alarmed the last time i went into my buddies EF hatch when it warmed up in like 2 minutes. he was like "uhh, that's normal"
you should also mention that they come with a seperate cooler great for tranny fluid (what they were used for) or OIL, great for pre-turbo cooling

Re: Double thick Civic radiator
i have a 2.25 thick all aluminum ebay radiator and that ---- is efficient as hell.
If I'm on the freeway going 55 or 65 and let off the throttle when going down a hill, in about 20 seconds the temp needle starts dropping. It was way cold out tonight and it dropped all the way to C.
Not gonna let it do that again, I was just kinda shocked and wanted to see how low it would go. Hopefully once I'm boosted that will help me stay around operating temp.
