    My old radiator is in bad shape- it sort of desintegrates when you touch it. Since I have to drain the coolant anyway for installing my LHT intercooler I though it'd be a good idea to replace and upgrade the radiator at the same time. I can use some advice with radiator selection.

    Is there any rule of thumb for the power limits on a half size radiator? Will a half-size fluidyne (or C&R, or whatever) radiator be able to handle the heat from a, say, 400HP engine?
    I can go full-size but that would complicate matters with the LHT heat exchanger so I only want to go there if its really necessary.

    Thanks,

    Mark.

    A half-width Fluidyne has a greater capacity than a stock Integra full-width radiator. It should support a 400 HP engine just fine.
