well....i know many people used their Si radiator in the JDM h22 swap.....i assume its nothing....

me and my friend thought of this too while we were doing my radiator today.......and it wouldn't make sense for them to be different....im 90% sure they are the exact same..its all based on what year u got on what radiator and they are problee the same in all S, Si, Vtec

Si and Vtec radiators are exactly the same. I don't know about the S though. Could be the same if it came with an AC, and different w/o AC.

OK....the the Radiator size is the same....BUT the H22 fan and the H23 fan is different...so if you have a Si then go with the H23 Radiator.

I'm using my Si radiator and fan with my Vtec swap... no problems.

A few things you should know about those radiators is
they are made to work with AT trannys too, so on the bottom there will be two outlets for tranny fluid to go through, you dont need to plug them.

Also, you may need to modify your radiator cap to work

I was broke when my radiator blew a hole in the plastic top, so I used one of those cheap ones and my cap didn't fit for **** so I finally bought one that did 2 weeks later and the other day on the freeway all my F'in water spewed out and now my water pump berring are F**cked

I guess I'm forced to do my T belt and water pump now
