When I was looking into swapping engines, I thought I read on Hasport's website that an RSX radiator would fit in our bay but that some triming was required. I don't know how much room you have in the front of your engine bay with the K24 in there but I would imangine that it would work. I don't know the dimensional differences between the SI and RSX radiators, either, so I guess I'm no help.

i searched alittle bit more and i found this

"The Civic Si radiator is a better fit than the RSX radiator, due to the location of the filler cap. The stock radiator's hose necks are in awkward positions and do not work well. "

would anybody know how awkward this would be...?

Eh. I would just stay with an ep3 radiator ... but that's just me.

just get the c&r one that comes with fans... or that koyo one. I highly doubt you're gonna need the fans with the koyo ... I would worry about stop n go driving with a stock radiator, but it shouldn't be a problem with an aftermarket

well... i decided to get a koyo radiator, its only 299 shipped... and maby get a slim fan....

i also am going to get a ac compressor and make custom lines because its so freaking hot outside... it was like 97 degrees in the afternoon... dam....

so my question is, will i need two fans, like my stock one had or will 1 be sufficent in both coooling my car when standing still and for the ac?

i wish it were only 97 here. It hit 113 at work a few days ago.

If you get a good fan (like a black magic) you will only need one. If you get a pep boys special, you may need two.

Get a fal slimline fan. The 210 universal will fit just fine. Its the cost thats gonna hurt your pocket. They come in different colors too, not that it matters.
