Re:my 'custom' radiator (pics)...
 

i have a 93 civic with the stock radiator and fan and whenever i go on a trip to vancouver, 4 hour drive, my car heats up going up hills, it has no turbo, the fan turns on, the temp sensor works, sufficient coolant and ratio, i flushed the system, replaced the thermostat and it still wants to heat up going up long hills, and its not like i have it loaded up with alot of weight its just me, 165 pounds. Any ideas?

Thanks

same thing i would suggest to everyone trying to put a Civic radiator in there EF/CRX, use a del Sol VTEC (with the B16A) 2 row radiator. i believe that the stock single cam cars are only one row cores...

i saw one of those dual core del sol rads for 70$ .. ---- i shoulda bought it..

92-95 civics have half radiators, they make it possible to fit huge ass turbos and manifolds that place the turbo in front of the block on 88-91 civcs/crxs. my friend has one on his civic, it works great.

I dislike the Del Slo dual core in the ED chassis. I already lost one radiator due to it being leaned into the bumper, and there is no other way to fit the Del Slo without dangling the bottom end tank below the height of the crossmember.

Re:my 'custom' radiator (pics)...
 

sure there is. Use a metal strap on each side and secure it to the front cross member then the other strap to the front of the car.

kinda like that.. dont make them 100% solid though. the rad needs a slight slack to move a bit. Just tight enough to stop it from smaking in to things at the bottom.
ps I didnt realize how old this post was, o well.
