Hey..... would it be beneficial to get a teg rad for my 1st gen B16 in a crx?

the temp gauge doesnt show anything abnormal...... but in summer the hood of the car gets DAMN hot

thanks

That's prolly due to the proximity of the engine to the hood... I think that's normal Just wait for your rad to blow, then worry about it

hey i got a question, why do you guys with b16 swap your civic rad and get a teg rad?? is there a difference i mean why not a Fluidyne. or is it to much $$$??
just wondering..
probably leaning towards bbarbulo to answer this.

When I got my swap - my little civic rad could not keep up.

The first track day we ever went to I drove all the way to St.Thomas with the fu#$ing heater on...

and that day was DAM hot!!

Aftermarket rads are very expensive...

Fluidyne is $$$

Teggy rads stock can be had for cheap... budget racers man

are they bigger or something?
cuz everybdoy i kow they always swap out and get a teg rad. so i was curious
i mean, so what about half-rads with b16? i
i know a couple of people whom have b16 swaps and they still use a half rad, i'm not going ot mention some names for those sleepesr, but they are using half rads.
i dunno, just very puzzled.

if your b16 is in a crx, that means you have a full size rad doesnt it?

so i would think that you wouldnt need a rad from an integra.

IMHO

SAME RAD

thanks guys

HAPPY

Yeah, they are twice the size. They extend across the whole ront of the engine bay. You need to do a little replacement of the rad support but not too big a job.

Happy....... how much roughly is a teggy rad swap?

cluster

hey Happy B16 your forgetting it's going into a CX-R witch has the full rad

not like your that had the half rad

so there's no need for him to change

just do a good flush and seal

and change the hoses

HAPPY

oh right - I didn't read that part...

cluster

open your eyes son
