stock civic 1/2 size radiator, cool enough for boost??
 
how many of you run the stock civic 1/2 size rad with your turbo set-up,
and how good of a job does it do cooling?
also i would be nice if you posted your hp numbers and set-ups,
to see what these rads can handle.
thanks

I plan on making 300 hp with one.

It's done all the time with no problems whatsoever.

Running the neon radiator in my crx. Its smaller than the half size civic radiator and its been doing good so far.

boosted b18c 7-8 psi with half sized rad no problems I also run water wetter I think thats what its called its a product (pink in coulor) its supposed to reduce heat and lubricates and conditions the cooling system.

if you run a serious setup good luck fitting anything but a half.

Half is fine, just try and keep exhaust parts away from it if you're running a reg 92-95 single core.

street imports aka Yonaka has some pretty killer prices on ebay for 1/2 size thick core aluminum ones. Very nice units, I've used a couple of them.
