Performance Radiator for Acura Integra GS LS HX (1992-2001) Automatic AT

High-Capacity Aluminum Radiator for 1992-2001 Acura Integra & Honda Civic (Automatic)

Direct Replacement: Replaces the restrictive and aging OEM plastic-tank radiator with a high-density AA5052 aluminum unit to drastically lower coolant temperatures during high-stress driving.

The Stock Thermal Limitation

The factory radiators equipped on 1992-2001 Acura Integras and Honda Civics utilize plastic end tanks crimped to a thin aluminum core. Over time and repeated thermal cycling, these plastic tanks become brittle, leading to micro-fractures, hairline leaks, and catastrophic failure at the crimped seams. Furthermore, the OEM core density is often insufficient for aging or modified B-Series and D-Series engines. Heat soak becomes a prominent issue when subjecting the vehicle to extended high-rpm loads or congested stop-and-go traffic. This causes coolant temperatures to spike, prompting the ECU to pull ignition timing and significantly increasing the risk of premature head gasket failure.

The Engineering Solution

This upgraded ASI Performance radiator is constructed entirely from AA5052 aircraft-grade aluminum, utilizing 2mm-thick tanks and fittings to permanently eliminate the failure-prone plastic end tanks. The brazed core technology utilizes a high-density tubular design with cooling rows spaced tightly at 3/8-inch apart. This structural enhancement provides 25% more cooling rows and packs 14-16 cooling fins per inch, resulting in roughly 1,500 more fins than standard aftermarket replacements. This massively increases the overall surface area, maximizing heat dissipation and improving thermal efficiency by 30% to 45% over stock units. Additionally, the integrated M14x1.0 transmission cooler ensures your automatic transmission fluid remains within optimal operating thresholds, preventing fluid breakdown during aggressive driving.
