Honda civic radiator in a Florida turbo car?
 
I am wondering if a nice aftermarket Honda civic radiator will keep my turbo 2nd gen cool enough in Florida? I am contemplating this due to space and my new ic purchased. Thank you.

no, not big enough for a civic, no way it'll work in a rotary

Terrible idea, don't do it kid.

you get the idiot award for this month..

take a look at a civic radiator and then look at the stock FC radiator(already marginally large enough).

Actually it was a 3 core which I was looking at. It's at least twice as wide with just a smaller area. It was just a question and I have not done it yet. Thanks for all of the input.

^^^ without a picture, how would anyone know?!

It's probably still not a good idea when people usually upgrade their stock radiators to larger units. What's goin on with your intercooler setup?

I did have a friend use a GSR radiator in his RX-7 and it took track days all summer long. A Civic one is small and wouldn't make any sense.

Don't buy it.
