Dexter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I need to replace my radiator so naturally that means upgradetime. Since the stock rad should be good for mildly tuned B18 engines i'm not necessarily looking for anything more powerful, just want good quality with the shiny aluminum look to spice up the bay. Only brand that comes to mind is Mishimoto but those ones are pretty expensive... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mishimoto-Alloy-Radiator-Honda-Civic-1992-2000-/231308379015?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35db0dc387#shpCntId Any ideas? Ebay is full of no-name chinese rads for under 100£, they just seem too cheap to be any good... or last more than a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 B series rad is a b series rad. So yeah they should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah i thought about Tegiwa as well, i've had good experiences with them before. Just sent them a message to make sure it's a direct fit. B18C4 is on their compatibilty list on their ebay store http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TEGIWA-ALUMINIUM-ALLOY-RACE-RADIATIOR-HONDA-CIVIC-CRX-EG6-EK4-B-SERIES-EG-EK-/200930691402?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ec867094a but is priced at £1000... must be a mistake.

Dexter Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Could be out of stock if they've priced it that high, only someone high would still consider it Just got a reply and you're exactly right, they price everything at £1000 when it's out of stock. And yes it's a direct fit to a B18C4 so i think i'm gonna go with one of these. Would be nice to get new hoses at the same go... and a new slimline fan... and and and i think i'll for once try to save a bit and just get the rad!

Krzys Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I like to get everything at once too to save returning to the job later on! Gets expensive doing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Would be waste to replace the rad and then the hoses .. Think of all that water you'll waste Defo need to be done in one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ok so i bought one, installed it (99% perfect fit) and it can totally handle consistent high rev track day punishment, the temp needle never went over the half way point even after 5-6 laps of really hard driving. Don't know how it rates against a standard rad since mine was broken (or clogged up who knows!) so don't know if it's really an upgrade performancewise, but atleast it looks nice and shiny in the bay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
