Need some help on this

[purplehazetsi]

Ok i ran a search for this, and havnt found anything useful. Im looking to go as light as possible on my street 1G AWD. I have hundreads of hours into this car to make it light, but still look respectable on the inside ( No hack job here) I have seen somewere that some people run Fluidyne, Koyo, ect Honda Style ( really small) radiators in their 1G/2G's, but im not sure if this is for a "Race Only" app, or if it can be driven on the street. Please let me know what u guys think on this issue, and if its worth it, and if there is over heating ussues.

My wife has a Fluidyne radiator in her 97GST for almost a year now, with no ill effects. Its also her daily driver. Only downfall to the Fluidyne is its slightly thicker and now the lower intercooler pipe is very tight against the fans. She has the 14b swap, thats why the pipe is right there now. Nothing a couple of slimfans won't take of though. It also holds more anti-freeze than a stock rad. Haven't really noticed any improvement over the stock radiator, except that it works. I accidentally ripped a hole in the stock radiator end tank, thats the only reason why I bought her the fluidyne.

Oh, my bad. Well, then I would have to say you can probably get one but I would not daily drive it. If you do, you will overheat. Less radiator cores, less cooling capability.
