Shmoo's GSR Engine Build: Operation 400whp not 56k friendly
i noticed in a previous post you said something about being really close to the radiator... my buddy has a 96 gsr turbo and he used a civic radiator the little guy and it gave him plenty of room and still works great... plus it just cleans things up a bit.

I was contemplating it but I am not going to buy another radiator unless I absolutely have to. Plus, I road race it on occasion and a smaller radiator would only make my overheating problems worse.
How much smaller are we talking here? What is the size difference between the 2? Are we talking apples and oranges or are we splitting hairs?

It is thicker than my current radiator but having more surface area cools better than having a thicker core.
The setup fits just fine without having to modify my current radiator, so it is really a moot point as far as I'm concerned.

Engine build is on hold until at least next season. School is a huge drain of time and funds. I need at least another $1500 to finish things up.
In the meanwhile, I'll be shooting for 350-375whp on E85 this season.
