Re: stock civic 1/2 size radiator, cool enough for boost??
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

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...

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.
