why would you put a smaller radiator in?? you really need to put up more info. Such as why are you changing your radiator. Is the current one bad or do you need to change it due to mods. If everything is stock then you should put a stock radiator back in.

unless the header (or turbo) interferes with the full size radiator, stick with it. a half size radiator in a ef that's driven hard in a hot climate (like phoenix) will have problems keeping temps in check. if you live somewhere that it doesn't ever get over 90degrees, you'll probably be fine with the half size.

Here's a suggestion....get a Del Sol VTEC radiator and make it fit. I have been taught that it is by far the BEST Honda radiator as it is a two row versus a one row. It will definitely be worth having it for better cooling. Best of luck.
 If I am wrong in this please feel free to shoot me in the face with a bazooka.  __________________
