I'm using a neon radiator as well. I have a high powered slim fan on there, and I wrapped my manifold, downpipe, and dumptube with heat wrap. So far I haven't had any problems, but I haven't been boosted very long with this setup, so we will have to see what happens once the summer rolls around.

im not a honda owner so if someone could help it would be great.
what cars come with the 1/2 sized rad?
what cars come with dual core 1/2 sized rads?
also i heard auto civics had thicker rads it this true?
whats the deal with the neon rads, all the ones i see on ebay look big
thanks

Good luck finding one. They are hard as ---- to find. I called every single auto parts store in my area, all the junk yards, and even the dealership, none could get a hold of a 1/2 sized radiator.

I ended up finding one on eBay for sale. Just keep your eyes open, they are hard to find, but they are sooo easy to install it's worth it.
