Anyone using a half rad? - Honda Prelude Forum

If so, are you using the one for 92-00 Civic Si? Is there a difference in hose diameter? Just want to make sure its the right one before I order it. Thanks.

wont that mean you have no ac?

no the half size radiator has nothing to do with ac, it just means he has more room for his turbo setup. and can run a different manfold or bigger turbo.

o, but since your doing all that... you getting rid of teh ac?

buh_buh · 02-02-2006, 03:22 AM

Just need more room in the engine bay.

lots of integra peopel use half rads shouldnt be a big issue. just make sure to monitor things well and you'll see for yourself

Have you seen the big write-up on Honda-tech about the half-rad installation? Not sure it has the answer to your specific question, but it should be a good place to start.

buh_buh shine some light into it man, i need to get mine half size as well.

IIRC for integras the fluidyne half had cools more than their full sized stock rad

what about for H22 since out engine is bigger then teg.

buh_buh · 02-02-2006, 02:13 PM

Well, I think it should be okay as far as cooling goes. I've seen a quite a few H22's using a half rad setup.
I was just wondering WHICH rad to order. The closest one I could find was 92-00 Civic Si rad. Anyone know for sure?

getbig · 02-02-2006, 02:21 PM

I'm wondering too...is it the Fluidyne FHP11-92C1V??

thanks nuro.
Hopefully it won't take too much "backyard" work to get it in.
