Had 10 Minutes On Track - Now I've Found This!

Well usually when people do fit half rads to cool a H22 its twice as thick than a stock rad

Yeah, capacity is important - most noticeably it affects the latency of the system.
Smaller capacity = much quicker change in temperature, so your system will be thermally cycling much faster than designed.

Doubling the core capacity of the rad can counter that, depends if the tank sizes actually also double or not.

Either way, a narrower (but thicker) rad will still be less efficient than a wider, thinner one. All about the effective surface area. 'init' (as someone else on here might say...)

Got the bug?

I run a stock rad on my 4th gen and have never had cooling issues.

I bet the H22 Civic is a fun wee car.

To me the 1.6 was a fun wee car, I bet that thing is fornicating mental!

There is an H22a7 Civic that is running in the NA section of UK Time Attack. https://www.facebook.com/Backyardcivics I wonder if he will be at Knockhill on the 25th.

Yep, I'm not surprised - I was saying that a half width one that's twice as thick, will be less efficient than the standard one

All depends what fan its running and what temp it kicks in and out at.

Damn that thing looks mean!

I've always fancied a little EG or EK with a H22 in. Thought about it before with a spare H22A sitting in the garage. Fun little cars.
