Default Bigger Drop in Rad for EF's

I know most people want to go to a Half Core Rad with they're turbos but I decide to stay full width and go dual core, which no EF came with from what I know. Seing as when I put my new turbo on I am fabbing my own maniflod, I want a different design any ways so I will be able to work around the space constrant. I tried a few different rads, (prelude, accord, blah blah blah) and came to rest on this one. 88 Accord EFI. I got it brand new for 115.00 CAN with a Lifetime warrenty. It has the same overall height as my EF and Had a different Rad Cap, So I could find a Higher Pressure (for high boiling point) no problem.

I am using this with my HM Crossmemeber (CM), But I had the CM set up to hold a stock EF rad at the proper height so it should work on a factory rad support. The mounting plugs my be in a diiferent spot but I have it ziptied to my CM as the Lovwer plug sit flush with the bottom tank.

Same Height and Width but hold 2x the fluid!

MMM. I have never seen a 2 core in Canada in an EF. That could be why. Our Climate is not as hot as yours up here so the 2 cores where not availble in our market maybe.

I can make out the steering wheel in the pic in your sig - LHD. You own an ED, not an EF.

Grrr.

Oversized radiator is irrelevant. Not needed. I have friends running their B-series turbo cars on half width single cores from EH's... I run Del Slo dual core myself.

Too each their own. I like the extra cooling capacity, not that I ever had overheating problems, except when my HG went, but the extra assurance is there now, I needed a new rad, and this one was the same price.
