This Mishimoto all-aluminum radiator replaces it with a dual-core design that holds far more coolant and sheds heat better, built to drop into the EF's factory location. It's the radiator for a leaking stock car, a track build, or a boosted D-series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Upgrade The Radiator\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo reasons, both valid on a car this age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a stock or aging EF, the \u003cstrong\u003efactory radiator is often simply failing\u003c\/strong\u003e, these cars are 30-plus years old, and the original radiators crack, corrode, and leak. A fresh aluminum radiator fixes that permanently with a unit that won't fail the way the decades-old original does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a modified car, it's about \u003cstrong\u003ecapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e. A boosted, high-compression, or hard-run D-series makes more heat than the factory radiator was designed to handle, and sustained high coolant temps accelerate wear and can damage the engine. A larger-capacity aluminum radiator keeps your temps in check when you're pushing the car. Either way, this protects the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDual-Core Aluminum Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is where the cooling and durability come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a \u003cstrong\u003e100% brazed aluminum core with TIG-welded end tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is stronger, more durable, and sheds heat better than the factory plastic-and-aluminum unit. Aluminum tolerates more heat and pressure and dissipates heat more efficiently, so the material itself contributes to the cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edual-core, two-row design\u003c\/strong\u003e (1.34\" thick) holds 1.64 gallons, significantly more coolant than stock, which gives the system more thermal mass and more surface area to shed heat. More capacity means lower, more stable temperatures across any driving condition, from traffic on a hot day to a track session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits Your Swap Or Your Stock Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the EF's distinctive radiator location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct fit for the 1988-1991 Civic and CRX in the DX, HF, and Si trims, engineered to the EF's tall, narrow factory radiator shape so it drops into the stock location with no modification. It fits the factory D-series engines (D15 and D16 variants) that came in these cars, and it's the standard cooling upgrade whether you've kept your original engine or swapped something in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Included Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo extras that come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e1.3 bar high-pressure radiator cap\u003c\/strong\u003e raises the coolant's boiling point, higher pressure means coolant can run hotter before it boils, giving more margin before the system vents. And a \u003cstrong\u003emagnetic drain plug\u003c\/strong\u003e captures metallic debris circulating in the cooling system, so wear particles collect at the plug instead of cycling through your pump and engine. Both make it a complete upgrade rather than just a bigger core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuild The Full Cooling System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural companions for the best cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis radiator is a perfect match for the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/mishimoto-aluminum-radiator-fan-shroud-honda-acura?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=452f87132\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMishimoto CRX fan shroud kit\u003c\/a\u003e. A radiator only cools as well as the air moving through it, and a shroud forces all the fan's airflow through the entire core rather than letting it spill around the edges. Running the radiator and shroud together gets the most out of both, especially valuable on a track car or in stop-and-go heat where airflow at low speed matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you've got the cooling system open, it's also the ideal time to replace the aging factory rubber coolant hoses with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/mishimoto-silicone-radiator-hoses-88-91-civic-crx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMishimoto silicone radiator hoses\u003c\/a\u003e, 30-plus-year-old rubber is well past its best and prone to failing under heat and pressure, so doing the hoses alongside the radiator means the whole system is fresh. Radiator, shroud, and hoses together are the complete cooling upgrade for the EF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1988-1991 Honda Civic and CRX (DX, HF, Si)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eD15\/D16 engines.

Dual-core aluminum that won't fail like the decades-old factory unit, more coolant capacity, a magnetic drain plug and high-pressure cap included, and a direct fit to the factory location.
