Im guna use a half size radiator cause of the way the charge pipes are set up and so the turbo doesnt rub. I know theres a Dual Core and a single core.

Dual core is designed for the b16a2. Single for the other motors incl. d15b

I can get a single core for free, but just wondering if itll provide enough cooling efficientcy for my car:

b16a1,
t25 @ 6psi

Anyone have any info?
Cheers

 

It will work immediately if you have to ride, but you're going to want the extra cooling capacity of the dual core. It's summer time so you're going to want the extra size of the radiator. I forget which cars the dual core half radiator came from, like the del sol or some ---- (I don't claim to be a honda expert ).

There are plenty of aftermarket companies who sell dual core half radiators, just gotta find one.

Oh yeah, I'm sure you can sell your half sized single core radiator here.

 

you could get a fluidyne or a CR radiator, brand new for like 300 bucks. why not go with that/ it wouldn't cost much more for alot more cooling.

 

If the problem is the charge pipes hitting the FAN, you can get a PUSH fan from "your local auto store" (discount auto, autozone, etc.).

If you REALLY need to use the half radiator, GET the DUAL CORE, they come in any civic with a B16A, delsol, or 99+ civic SI.

later.

 

i have had a single core on my LS for almost a year, 9 months turboed, one month LSVTEC turbo... NEVER had it overheat.

i even had it in my 4dr for a little while with no radiator fan, only started to heat up once (sitting at a light forever) but switched on the heater and it was cool...

 

---- it. Ill just use it for now. see what happens

Cheers
