Hey guys,

First off I wanted to know if a teg rad would make my car run cooler and second of all will it fit if I have an AC condensor in the front of my car, if so is it direct bolt on or are there mods that have to be made ?
Oh BTW I drive a 97 civic so EK chassis.

thanks in advance ..... bruno ?? LOL

ryuujin

Teg rads do fit, but I think they are as long as the front portion of the car thus eliminating the condenser space. You'd have to relocate it I think.

quite a bit of modification needed. look into getting a del Sol DOHC VTEC rad or an OE dual core replacement - check this, scroll to the bottom - http://www.absoluteradiator.com/Prod....asp?idProd=10

great thanks guys, Are those US prices ?
how much would a del Sol DOHC rad cost and will it bolt in directly as well how much does that cost ?

ryuujin

do we still have a deal with these guys? Or has it been terminated

some guy on the board is selling a Fluidyne and a Fal fan for $750 on this board I remember Infact the guy spoke to me and just asked me straight up without me knowing who he was off the boards

imported_sketch

yeah thats quite a bit more then I need or can afford ....
Is a Stock B16 rad the same size and will that bolt up directly ?

Jugglez

i think the '99-'00 SiR b16a rad is the same one you have already.

if you want an upgrade check out that link i posted. there's an OE dual core by CSF for $107 US new. not a bad deal. it's probably heavy as **** though.

ryuujin, we don't discuss memebr perks outside the lounge.

imported_sketch

so you're saying that the rad for the B16 is the same as the one for a D-series motor ?

Jugglez

i'm pretty sure they're all single core denso rads. go take a look at your rad. is it a denso? is it skinny like ryuujinl?

Jugglez

here's Nada's old SiR (R.I.P.)

compare that rad to yours. again, i'm pretty sure it's the same.

Jugglez

just for kicks, here's mine.

Fluidyne 38mm single core

Jugglez

Koyo 53mm core vs. stock POS

imported_sketch

damn .... the fluidine and the koyo is some serious **** .... i just thought that the B16 rad would be different from a d series because it produces more power hence generates more heat .

imported_sketch

thanks for all your help ...... I'll take a look at my rad tomorrow and compare it to that B16 rad.

thanks duy!

Jugglez

don't get me worng, the stock rads are pretty good. but the thicker all-aluminum rads are so much better, they don't rust and they cool down a lot quicker. honestly if you're not planning to push major horses don't get the fluidyne - it's crazy $$$. go with an oe dual core.

Ohhh... auto rad stock, it's thicker and has a trans cooler built in, but you can plug those up. Much greater heat capacity.

for 92-2000 Honda Civic/CRX
4Cyl. 1.5/1.6L M/T & A/T Hatchback/Sedan/Coupe
This radiator has rugged, all metal construction(brass and copper with a black finish), not plastic tanks like the factory OEM radiator. The radiator core is twice as thick as the factory radiator, (1 5/16 instead of 11/16), providing twice the cooling capacity. This radiator also has twice the number of cooling tube rows as the factory radiator, (2 instead of 1), providing twice the flow. Although this radiator does not have the maximum cooling capacity of the All-Aluminum Radiators, it is an excellant choice for hard driving, high heat conditions. This is a direct replacement radiator, no modifications required.
Made By: CSF
Warranty: Limited Lifetime


Price: $ $107.00



That seems like a good deal, no?

imported_Slvr-Bullet

Hmmm..I'm interested in that $107 one too.

Is it a heavy ****??

bbarbulo

iTrader: (2)

heavy, yes... durable... YES! Brass and Copper are much better conductors than aluminium, and much more heat capacity.

how about the wieght issue ?

you mentioned Auto Rad Bruno. is that all alum. and what would i be looking in terms of price ?

thanks
