Radiator Clarification ?

[B18Chris]

I just finished swapping a B18C1 motor into my 93 del sol but i need a little clarification on the radiator i should be using. I always see the post suggesting the use of a Del Sol vtec radiator but does this mean the del sol with a B16 vtec or the del sol with the D16 vtec which is what i had in my car? Or are they the same as long as the car had vtec? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

The B16... Should be dual core...

Alright cool thats what I was thinking. Anyone ever run the half sized D series del sol radiator along with their GSR swap? I was just wondering how well it would hold up cus its just gonna be my daily driver, not really any tracking in mind.

yeah i had the d16 now b16 i bought the mishimoto alluminum radiator. the half size, not the full row one. my temp is a tad below normal temp. keeps it cooler than the oem plastic. but yeah the d size one will work with the B. i havent had the long one. but mine works fine. hope it helps

i bought a half size civic be cool aluminum radiator when i swapped out my D15 for my GSR and i live in the desert. 100 degrees all the time i dont have a radiator fan on it and i never over heat unless i idle for about 35 minutes a little pricy but you never have to worry about a blown head gasket
