Is the quality ok or are they terrible? Are they any better than a stock dual core? I need one for my 2.0 A20 accord project, im looking to make 450whp-500whp or so... suggestions? Comments?

I picked up a cheap single core with plastic endtanks over 2 years ago off ebay for around $50, haven't had a single problem with it yet.

been using the same 1 for a year now. the caps are a little iffy, but other then that there great.

Re: so talk to me about ebay civic halfsize radiators
 

do the caps leak on them and spit all over or do you just smell it once in a while or somthing

they all look the same, except for the last one actually using a Honda coolant drain verse the homo brass old school ones...

my buddy just bought one from RSMACHINES on Honda-Tech... ill take a look at his when it gets in, and evaluate it... then probably buy one myself... and paint it black O0

think he is referring to the pressure cap... aftermarket ones are always shitty...

Re: so talk to me about ebay civic halfsize radiators
 

I bought an ebay one a while back, 2.5" core bar and plate design. So far it's worked flawlessly, but I thought the lower than stock pressure cap was a little weird...only like .9 bar instead of the standard 1.1 bar. Mine looks like it would be a bitch to find a replacement cap though, but keep an eye on the cap rotation on those rads. A well built rad should have the cap tabs run parallel to the rad, unlike mine where they fucked up and put them at a 90* angle. :P
