the solution is simple. buy a new radiator. and if you're planning a swap, go with a dual core radiator so you don't end up switching radiators once again.

tenaciousC...it seems strange that your radiator would just blow up like it did. even with turbo and the added stress placed on the radiator (minimal even with increased engine temperatures) it seems like a genuine honda radiator would hold up better than this.

how long have you been running turbo? and how many miles are on the car? i'm just curious because up here in connecticut people rarely have cooling problems and i've never heard of something like this happening.

do you think its fair to blame the turbo setup for this problem...or can you think of something else? i'm interested because i'm going to probably install a turbo on this ls i just swapped into a gsr...and this kid has a shitty aftermarket radiator that is definitely not the quality of genuine oem honda.
