just bought an aluminum one off ebay for 100 shipped. You can get them for under 100 all day long on there.

the neon radiators come from sohc NON-A/C equipped, 5 speed neons. they are pretty eaty to install, but you obviously need an external rad cap. i modded the one off a stock neon to fit, but getting a nice one from summit would be better

i run a dual core 92-95 auto civic radiator in my DC2 now, runs perfectly cool, no problems ever, even on 90+ degree days doing 2nd gear burnouts ;)

Word on the dual core auto 92-95 rads, I got one on my car. The weird thing is I pulled it off a 5 speed EX.

Any problems with the cap sealing? We ran one for a season on my business partners car and it spit all over. This season both of us are running one, but we plan on replacing the fillers/cap with a summit weld on unit.

Should work fine with no problems, mine has

I may also have to look into this...the guy who is fabbing up my downpipe says that the exhaust housing on my turbo(Blaast T3/T4) is gonna be REALLY close to my radiator...do you guys think that a half radiator will be sufficient to cool a 2.5 liter engine? I thought about at least trying it and running water wetter and all as well. My car is a Nissan(SpecV) and my radiator hoses(at least the top one,cylinder head to radiator) are on the drivers side of the car. Have any of you guys mounted ur radiator on the drivers side. I think it's doable I just haven't looked under my hood yet to see, since I just found out this was gonna be a problem...

Should be fine, just make sure you get a dual core. If you are running hotter than you want you can always use a separate switch to turn on your fan all the time.

We're running a half-sized radiator in a 90 DA Integra... No overheating problems what so ever... It's the cheap radiator too from E-Gay
