Default Cooling system

Well guy's I'm sort of upgrading my turbo setup (pics will be here when it's complete) and need to get rid of this full size Integra radiator and swap to one of the half sized 92-00 Civic radiator. I know I can fabricate some brackets etc. to make this work but as far as cooling goes, am I going to run into any overheating problems due to running a smaller radiator? Engine is a B18b turbo. Just want to hear your thoughts and opinions.

You'll be fine, try to get the duel core radiator for the 5g rather than the single core. But either one will work. Just get a nice fan setup too. I ran my Crvtec turbo all last summer with 0 overheating problems on a del sol single core radiator.

Good to know. I didn't think there would be a problem. I see alot of B series swaps being cooled with "half sized" radiators all the time, but hey, you never know. Actually I did pick up a dual core Fluidyne that will be going in soon. It's pretty funny actually. I just finished my turbo setup and I'm already upgrading it Better pictures this time around.

Alex, your civic should already have a half sized rad.
