So i've been getting tired of watching my coolant temps and worrying about overheating. I went to a trackday a few months ago and couldn't get in more than 3 laps at a time without hitting over 200F. I've had a 1995 Integra for a few years and with the Fluidyne radiator in it i never had any problems overheating AT ALL! So one day i measured the integra radiator and my stock 240 radiator and low and behold the core size is exactly the same. Only difference is the upper inlet is about 2 inches more towards the driver's side on the integra rad. The mounts are a little different too but nothing a little fab work can't fix. Now you may ask why not just get a 240SX fluidyne rad. Well they are consistently $100-$150 cheaper for the integra rad. Way more integras were made than 240's(especially S14s). Anyway so last week i saw that the temps around here were about to hit the 90's and i've been having to run my heater on full blast to keep the temps under 200F just driving around town. I knew this wasn't going to be comfortable so i went ahead and got the integra Fluidyne. Install was really easy. Anyway here's some pics.

Here's a pic showing the difference in the upper inlets. Just turned my rad hose a little and it fits perfect. It is up against the IC pipe but that will be fixed soon as i'm gonna fab up a new upper intake plenum for my RB20.

Upper mounts

Lower Mounts

I haven't hit 180F yet! I had one 14" fan as a puller and a 10" as a pusher on the stock rad. They are now both mounted as pushers. I also removed the AC condensor so i know that helped some but the insurance of a great radiator is priceless. I may get some rubber isolators and add those for the mounts but it is mounted very tightly as is, so i'll probably only do that if i'm bored one day. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.
