that's a helluva good deal. buy it quick, it'll work. i have the same radiator from factory and my car's boosted no problems at all. it runs at the same temperature it ran at w/o turbo.

Jeff is using a half radiator on twin setup

So, yes it will work with a b series vtec motor.

I have mounted a half rad before in my civic. You just need to fabricate a way to secure it.

im running a half size rad in my 91 hatch w/ a turbo charged b16. i kept the stock rad. support,and front cross member. i just tilted mine forward and put a slimline fan infront of in. i put a couple layers of rubber on the bottom and used a zip tie to secure it down thier,and fabricated a couple of upper suports out of two pieces of small round metal. turned out pritty good,and it dosent move around.

Another Question... Will the plastic end tanks melt or anything with the turbo in there and also will the b16 rad hoses fit the 92-95 rad?? Thanx...

They are not going to melt unless you have the exhaust blowing right on the radiator, but it should be fine.

I used integra hoses on my b-series swap, the d series hoses are a little small for the fittings on the block.

Well right now my b16 hoses are hooked up to my stock civic rad so i should be alright then huh?

Thanx AbaZ.

I had a half rad and I couldn't get it to fit in the car without building a new front crossmember
