is a CTR radiator better then the normal civic ones? if it is try them, they are little. or just get a radiator that is designed to be a replacment for your car and is approved

CTR radiator has smaller radiator hose outlets so I doubt it can be used on the H22a.

the fan is wired correctly;)

alloy radiator tends to heat up quick for street driving..but for track it will cool down quicker as airflow throw constant i had a koyo radiator in my previous car and i had the problem with it heating up quick on street driving at traffic lights but once u keep drivivng it cools down quick..

Have you got a factory front bar?? Maybe the cars aerodynamics have been altered and disrupting airflow thru the bumper/radiator core

i have an aftermarket front bar, the main thing that is hindering airflow is the intercooler. the new front bar actually flows alot more air through the front of the engine bay:thumbsup:
