Performance Radiator for Acura Integra (1994-2001) 1.8L

High-Capacity Aluminum Radiator for 1994-2001 Acura Integra

What it Does: This heavy-duty dual-core aluminum radiator and fan assembly replaces the factory single-core unit to increase cooling capacity by 30% and eliminate heat soak during prolonged high-RPM driving.

The Stock Integra Cooling Weakness

The factory Acura Integra cooling system utilizes a single-row radiator with plastic end tanks crimped to a thin aluminum core. Over decades of thermal cycling, these plastic tanks become brittle, leading to stress cracks and coolant leaks at the crimped seams. Furthermore, the OEM core volume is insufficient for modified B-Series engines pushing higher compression or forced induction, resulting in rapid heat soak, elevated coolant temperatures, and potential head gasket failure during sustained high-RPM operation or track use.

The Engineering Solution

This upgraded assembly utilizes 100% TIG-welded aluminum construction, eliminating the failure-prone plastic end tanks entirely. The core is upgraded to a dual-row (2-row) design measuring 1.34 inches in thickness, which expands fluid capacity and increases the thermal exchange surface area by 30% over stock. To maximize airflow dynamics, the system includes a custom fan shroud paired with dual 12-inch, 10-blade 80W electric fans pulling over 800 cubic meters per hour at 2,500 RPM. This high-velocity airflow through the dense fin structure ensures optimal coolant temperature stabilization under heavy load.
