okay just wondering if it matters what radiator i get, because ive seen people running the smaller civic radiators with no problem, so wondering if their would be fitment issues in a da. also would a radiator out of a g3 fit as well? thanks :p

Usually the spots that the bottom tabs set into are slightly different. They could be the same with a G3 but I can't say for sure. The OEM part numbers are different for what that is worth.

you can put a half size civic radiator in but I believe you have to ghetto fit it. I havent tried to fit mine in yet but I'll let you know how it goes

i belive they are different based on mountint positions. Mishimoto offers one for the 90-93 chassis. :thumbs up highly recommend going to a mishimoto dual core radiator.

In order to put a 1/2 size in your going to have to drill out the mounts for the full size (just drill out the spot weld and have it moved to fit and weld back in). and make a custom top strap and your done, Pretty simple! Just use a Alum one for the integra the b18a1 like them more then stock single core. I have done it on 3 of my cars for turbo kits including my prelude, it would only cost like 20 bucks for welding if you dont have a friend who will do it for cheap. there have been ALOT of people who have used the cheap alum rads from Ebay and they have worked out well. I use Godspeed and have never had a problem with them...

ok quick question, on those 1/2 sized radiators, do they only have one mount on the bottom of them?
