    Default Which half size radiator to use?

    Everyone knows my setup, but JIC: F22a1 t3/t4 57mm M/T

    Which half sized radiator will keep everything cool enough? Im looking at the civic aluminum radiators, also have seen teg radiators that might work. Just not sure if the half sized will change anything.

    +3 for help.

    i think youd be fine with any civic aluminum radiator.....


    i know the fluidynes keep everything cool....... real cool.

    i personally like the ebay single cores because they warm up alot faster......... in the winter it doesnt take 15 minutes to start warming up like the more expensive radiators do...

    Im looking at the Ebay civic radiators, but I need to figure out how tall the stock prelude radiator is to make sure it fits.

    i think most half stacks are like 2-3 inches higher, a simple L bracket that it bent up in a u shape works. I can show u if we ever hangout
