radiator questions

Can I swap radiators with an integra? I want a smaller one so I can have some room on the sides. I was thinking of getting the fluidyne one as well as slimmer fans. I believe that should give me the few inches I need. Aslo how will this affect my atts system? I've switched to a standalone and removed the atts fuse, I'm going to take out the computer as well in the next few days.

as for the integra radiator...I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I have the fluidyne and I didn't notice any difference in the length of it, but it does keep the engine cooler.

I agree.......instead of going for the Integra radiator, get a Fluidyne radiator. You won't get a HP gain, but it will keep your engine cooler, which in return, depending on what other mods you put on your car, will keep you from losing power from extensive heat and friction.

Well I was planning on a fluidyne radiator, but the one for an integra. I believe the fluidyne integra radiator would be a few inches shorter, from left to right, and thats what I'm after.

Ahhh...right on...you sound like a man with a plan : )
And if you want the Integra radiator, I'm sure it will fit or can be made to fit for sure.

Yes I thought so too but I still don't know if its such a good idea. If I remeber correctly, part of the stock radiator is set aside for cooling the atts unit. Although my atts has been disabled I still don't know if it needs to be cooled...

Instead of getting a smaller radiator, wouldn't relocating the battery help for some intercooler piping? Then you can take out the battery brackets and the mounts and relocate the coolant resoivoir (?) ....just a thought....
