I need a new radiator.

[b18cya-T]

yep, i do!

the open WG with no dumptube didnt agree with the plastic top of my radiator. coolant is barely seeping out, but i want to replace it before it turns into a problem.

should i:

a) blow 350 on a fluidyne?

2) buy a new OE radiator from Performance Radiator

c) buy a used JDM ITR radiator from a guy i know who's selling one with fans for 125 shipped (not that the JDM ITR part really matters, thats just what it came from.)

any other suggestions?

i would go get the fluidyne for the $350...it'll be better off in the long run, especially when running boost.

[b18cya-T]

yea, im tempted. what are the best prices out there?

[95GSRB18C]

ill take a look around for ya and let ya know the cheapest price i find.

[95GSRB18C]

well i didnt do a whole lot of looking around, but from what i saw, $325 is the cheapest and that's from http://www.phase2motortrend.com/fluidrad.html
the others are $369.77 from http://www.autoall.com and $379.00 from http://www.titanmotorsports.com I can call a few local people too and see what kinda prices they got.

you can also get your dump tube jet coated.. that will help keep it cool and prevent things from melting.

Check out www.groupbuycenter.com and www.summitracing.com for fluidyne radiators. Not sure if they have any on groupbuycenter, but I thought I saw one there not too long ago. Also, 247performance when they were haiparts used to sell them I think... might check their prices.

Could I use a Civic-style, half-radiator on a turboed b18b? Sorry for the highjack Titus, but you should check www.thepartstrader.com as well.

My answer: Blow $350 on a Fluidyne like I did:

So is that also a "yes" to the half-style radiator on a turboed B18b question?

[TedR719]

I see no problem with running one, just make sure it's a double core (it would be like folding the stock one in half) :D You can get a Del Sol VTEC radiator that is like that. Also on the teg I believe you would have to cut the far mount and weld it in the proper location. Plus more room for the turbo.

i guess that's not a bad price if it comes with fans.
