i have a b18b and my turbo header is cooking the ---- out of my radiator because it is about an inch away from it. so what i have decided to do is buy a brand new 93-97 radiator (about half the size of my OEM one) and put it on the passanger side so it is away from the header. my question is this - will the del sol radiator be too small for my size engine? i mean the del sol motor is a 1.6 vtec and it is sufficient for it. because the one i have right now has a small hole in it and it keeps on overheatin like a bitch. so what should i do thanks

 

the double core half radiator should be fine. just getting it away from the turbo/exhaust will make a big difference.

 

ok great...thanks....ya because the header is cooking that thing and thats why it is overheating...right?

 

right. unless you mount a fan on the front of the radiator on that side, the radiator gets the heat.

 

awesome...thank you so much....this is going to relieve so much stress...hahaha

 

watch out for overheating or good buy headgasket and youll be fine with the half raditor. Run the fan to constant power so when the car is on the fan is on this will help also

 

well i put on the new radiator and the fan and my car is still overheating when i gun it, which is often!, what else could it be?

 

compression test may have a headgasket

 

I am having over heating issues on my EG with the stock small radiator, after I swapped my LS block in, so if you do get a smaller one, hook it up to a switch so it turns on when your car turns on.
