How many of you guys are running civic radiators? What needs to be done to the car in order to get optimal performance from this set-up?

 

Del sol, dual core would be better. Sorry about my misleading information in the previous thread.

 

its all good... what mods need to be done to fit the rad in?

 

Only modification required is the way you mount it.

The passenger side bracket will work just fine, you'll have to use some common ingenuity to secure the other side. Some use zip ties, but theres better ways. Just move the driver side bracket over, or make a new one. I haven't done this yet, so I don't really have any direct advice for you. It's not hard though.

 

would I be better off just getting a teg rad with slim fans?

 

Yes. Unless you have a huge snail and wastegate that prevents the mounting of a full size radiator, there is no reason to hassle with a half size radiator.
