OK i was wondering if a 90-93 teg radiaotor will fit in out cars since a 92+ civic will except a 94+teg rad then why wont are cars take a 90-93 teg rad ??? i was looking at one today it seemed MUCH thicker and better built than our little dinky ones and i thought that that might be a nice upgrade instead of buying a FLYIDYNE

have you seen a 92+ radiator? those things are dinky compared to ours. Our radiators stretch the entire width of the car whereas the 92+ is a small dinky thing. I would think that an integra radiator would bolt in with no problems, but you have to think that if its a thicker radiator, you might have problems with your cooling fan hitting on an aftermarket header. I know my DC sports sits pretty close to the fan as it is.

yes i relize that buy my question was... will a 90-93 teg rad fit in our 88-91 civics?? becuase they are built on the same platform... MY logic to this swap was that if a 94+ teg rad will fit in a 92+ civic then why wont the 90-93 teg rad fit in a 88-91 civic??

try it and see. obviously it will fit as the front end of a teg will fit on our car, its the same width. You might have problems as far as mounting goes, as even in 92+ civics you have to "remount" the teg rediator for it to fit.
