question on what rad applies better for DD/AutoX car

I was thinking that now since the engine is coming and i realized the old rad wont quit fit the new engines hoses i need to get a new rad. however this car will be usually used as a DD and sometimes AutoX this year. Not sure if i would really have to get a full size one or just a bigger half size. Not sure how much i will be pushing the car as im not really experienced. Money is a bit of an issue. Please advise guys... those that do the Auto X what you think?

You'll more than likely be good with a factory siezed rad. I highly doubt you will need a full-sized aluminum one.
Maybe spring for the bigger half-sized one. I can't imagine it costing alot of money

i read about half size dual core. not sure what the dual core thing is but i cant find much about it. im still researching.

the bigger you go, the more weight you carry. and its all infront of the front axle.
Your car doesn't generate alot of heat during an autoX. Its only like 2 minutes. Most people just use a factory one.
let us know what you come up with

yeah ill see what good price i can find around... thanks i let you know what i end up with

dude, just use a stock integra one,it should fit nice.

engine swaps dont come with rad, i wish i could use the stock one that is in the car but the hose inlet/outlet are too small for the b series hoses...

tighten them with hose clamps or cut a piece of your stock one and slide it into the b series one.

hey i have a stock integra rad kickin around in my garage ill sell it for cheap
