    When you put the coolant back in, remember to park the car on an incline so that the rad cap hole is uphill, so that (with the rad cap off) bubbles will work their way out of the system.
    I'm considering this as an upgrade from stock. I'm thinking of upgrading the engine to SOMETHING else - Basically whatever I can find - and I'd like to use the Acura radiator if it cools more efficiently. Not trying to hack the thread.

    EDIT - It's been mentioned that it DOES cool more efficiently, but I wonder if it would cool efficiently enough to cool, say, a BP?

      I am sure that it will handle a bp, its a bpt that I am curious about. Either way, is it a dual core, or can it cool better than the festiva auto dual core?
