Radiators
I'm just needing to know what year and model cars' radiators i can use that will fit no prob in a 90 si rex it originaly has a/c but we are thinkin of ripping it out. Which leads to my other question. How much of a pain wuold it be to take all the a/c junk out? Do you guys know of any write ups about taking it out? I appreciate everyone who helps towards this.

CRX or h/b or 4 door EF rads bolt in fine. 90-93 Tegs fit sort of but hoses a little larger and bottom tube hits frt xmember until massaged. Unbolt it all from under the hood. stuff inside you need to pull dash for if you want box and all out. I can do this for you have done many times before. LMK

I've blown 3 OEM radiators just buy a Fluidyne or Koyo. But to answer your question yes you can use just about any Integra, Civic, or ive seen someone use a CRV radiator. The double wide Radiators will require you to remove your A/C

Never blown an OEM rad without other problems, and EF chassis have wide rads factory. 
I would have to test car to see what is wrong ie, could be bad comp., drier clogged, low on freon, leaks, etc.
90% usually compressors blow up on those cars, which requires new comp, drier and system flush. Convert it to R134 while apart also. LMK

Blew them with 4 inch cracks accross the top every time. Kept using stock OEM Rads. on a engine that is meant for a much larger rad. I.E ITR motor uses a much bigger rad than a stock civic one . Nothing is/was wrong with the engine it ran perfect all the time and always had fluid and water in everything.
