    civic half radiator?

    im trying to figure out what to use as my radiator.

    im pushing 12 psi on a 16g and the H head.

    A civic half radiator will keep me cool enough (i wont be going over 12 psi on this motor) correct, or should i step up and get an aftermarket?

      Import / Honda tunning put a stock H22 in a civic and it ran hott all day long they recommend going with an after market radiator and water wetter.

        You could probably get away with a Mishimoto half rad, or a Fluidyne 38mm rad. Maybe that with some water wetter or Cosworth cooling fluid

          i read somewhere that the civic half-radiator cools better than our larger radiator...

          i'm going to go ahead and assume that was wrong?

            I have absolutely no idea, I wish I did have an answer because I couldn't keep my stock rad and I have just recently bought a Fluidyne rad, but I can't make any compairisons.

                Well I can't tell you that either because it's sitting in my living room, I'm just waiting on a Spal fan to come in, since last summer I've had a Yonaka half sized Civic rad, but it wasn't doing the job, that's why I bought the Fluidyne, a Mugen thermostat and fan switch, so when the warm weather comes I hope it makes a difference
