Well If you need the room you can do with a dual o 3 core half rad.

No single engine is the same while someone can just slap on a half rad and cheap puller fan with no problem someone else will have to add shrouds better fan and ducting to keep the same temps.

Bottom line if you need the room get the half rad. If not get the full rad. To maximize cooling efficiency You would need shrouded fans along with ducting infront of the radcondensor intercooler. Basicly only giving the air one path and thats passing through all your rad/condensor/intercooler combos.

Here are some pics of my griffin alum full size rad with flex-a-lite shrouded dual fans.












And here is how I managedto keep a full rad. Props to the man that took the time to route all this piping for me.

Yeah, screw that =P that'd cost too much for not enough increase in performance. Log FTW!

If you decide to go with that fullsize, I still have the F&F with the fans, never been installed...

How much?

[LX-incredible]

How much?

I paid $375 shipped and it's never been used. How about $275 shipped.

Comes with everything in the picture, plus a mounting kit for the fans.

hows that running? any vids? or is it not finnished yet

[coope]

can we run stock civic rad.

[bobafett]

NOOOOOOOOOO.

Yes you can but don't. get a thicker civic radiator. They are cheap cheap. I am a little bit concerned even using a 2" core. My car ran hot before on the stock accord radiator.

My mounting solution was very very simple, but for people who are retaining 'stock' things it might be a little trickier.

You could probably just modify the stock upper rad support if you didn't want to lose hood latch routing and hood prop catch. I didn't care in my case so I just built a new upper rad support. But thats sort of an extreme solution. For fitment I DID have to hit the hood with a hammer to clearance it for the cap and little post on the top that was meant for mounting in a Civic.

where is the fan shroud? You should get one, it's there for a reason.


GRIFFIN, FLUIDYNE.. I never had $$$ for those aluminum radiators, I did add a second full sized fan though to the stock radiator, fits nicely.

[LX-incredible]

No shroud, the fans mount directly to the core. That's how most of the aftermarket fans are. I no longer have it, wound up giving it to a friend.

[A20A1]

that sucks, the efficiency of the fans goes down without a shroud.
