you can keep the stocker.

on here 'k-series' is putting a k20 into his 92-95 eg and is using a stock civic radiator.

you'll be fine w/a stocker.

well, wouldnt a drag only car be under more stress than a driver? at any rate, he's running a half size single core radiator in a drag car.

Drag cars see alot less heat than a daily driver.. I've seen several with no radiator at all.

but still, a k series swap calls for an ep3 or dc5 radiator, not a damn dinky eg half size radiator. so his stock radiator will support the gsr swap he is trying to pull off, no? yes, it will

ive seen plenty of B series swaps running the stock EG radiator
unless you are dealing with race conditions in 100+ degree heat i wouldnt worry about it

aren't the dx radiator thinner than ex's?

my dx radiator was thin was f-ck and Pewble gave me his (he bought one on ebay), almost double the thickness, and now is cooling it fine
the dx radiator was super hot when i touched it, lmao

oh yea, b16 swap into 95 hatch

Stock will be fine. The DX and EX should have the same size radiator if both have the same transmission.

If you want a higher capacity radiator, get a del Sol VTEC unit. It's twice as thick as the DX radiator, so you'll have more cooling capacity, still be cheap, and mount easily in the stock location.
