anyone know any company that makes full aluminum radiators? i doubt xlr8-griffin one is still in production.

 

Koyo?

 

when u find one. let us know.

 

try the civic SI one

 

Post #10 on the thread below may be of some help

read about it before, researched a few people had problems with CSF...


generally all radiators can "work, its just where the hoses connect and i wanted the same ones.

just bought a silla one from an accord (same as cl/tl application).

 

Please list, for posterity, a few of the problems that your reseach has revealed. I would like to keep my eye out for them should they manifest themselves on my application?

As an alternative, and for AZine search purposes, is there a part number/price available for the Accord Silla radiator that you purchased?

 

to be honest i don't think silla is that great either but its cheap and it was local so i need it. but it was 73399AA

i was looking at mishimoto for an evo 7/8/9 and it seems like it might be a tight fit, but it had the center top hose and left bottom.

 

Ohhh, you are looking for plastic end tanks with that Silla #. Sorry brah.

 

interesting info..

i like.

 

what about this? its for the accord but it may be the same for our car

nope its full aluminum. the OE plastic frame with aluminum core that u see all over the internet is 7339A

the correct part number is 7339aa
i did look into that one as well, supposedly they based it off the i4 accords. the bottom hose is connected on the right side (from the pictures i've seen), we need the bottom on the left.

 

^thats what i though too. but u can make it work. just a longer hose.

 

Here's one for under $100.

we need one for the 02-03 tl and i think that the cl 6spd is diff. not sure.

 

it does look like a great fit but the height is almost 4 inches taller than ours... doesnt ours sit in the frame so that would mean that it would be 4 inches taller than the hood latch? im not sure someone verify for me... im am really interested cuz my cars been out for 5 months now with an overheated engine.. so this is right down my ally
also could the sti 01-07 work? the height is better but the thickness is huge
sry for length

 

Yeah, the stock part #'s:
01-TL=19010-P8E-A52
02-TLS=19010-PGE-A51
03-TLS=19010-PGE-A51

01-CLS=19010-PGE-A51
02-CLS=19010-PGE-A51
03-CLS=19010-PGE-A51
03-CLS6=19010-PJE-A51

Is there an extra coolant outlet somewhere on the bottom for the auto? Not sure how this would translate to an aftermarket radiator.

 

i know that its shorter bc when i tried to put a auto cl bulk head cover on my 6spd the plastic was about 1.5-2" higher than the radiator

 

is there a way to fab. a way for the radiator fit if its too tall

 

i believe that's the silla brand.

 

the 6 speed isn't different from what i can see. it has a bottom hose to the left and a top in the middle. then 1 coolant nub for the coolant hose overflow.

 

height wise.

 

 

You can give Griffin a call and find out if they still have the measurements on file. They have no problem doing custom rads.

And I HATE CSF rads. I had 3 crack in two different cars.

 

custom costs upwards of 600-800

 

I have had no problems with the CSF radiator running it with FI underhood temps. and the blistering FL heat. Time will tell.

 

Do you guys happen to have height, length, thickness measurements?

When I get to work tomorro I can lookup and see if we have something

 

Maybe it depends on size, but the custom rad I was getting for my Civic was under $500.

 

woot!!! you are the man! is this a good brand though?

 

decent, if u're NA no point of doing a mod like this. if u're running an sc, should be suffice.

if you are anal about getting the best, this isn't for you.

 

whats the benefit of running a aluminum radiator if your boosted?

 

I'm guessing they cool better??

 

Aluminum dicipates heat faster and better.

 

thanks

 

it came in today, looks decent. same size as the stock one roughly. a little thicker (won't be any issues with fitment or s/c. there are larger radiators which fit... aka xlr8/griffin).

going to polish it before it goes in.

 

pics, where did u get it, made by who?

 

Cool! Glad it's working out for you! When do you think I can check it out?

 

We can still have our radiator made. They are about $475 shipped to the cont US.

The radiator was a one row 1.5" core with 2.25" end tanks - all aluminum.

 

More cooling capacity. It shows up on multiple pulls when the coolant temp rises. The stock radiator can't keep up when doing multiple pulls back to back.
