The first time I bought the CSF 812 (CRX 1.3/HF/Civic 1.3, 2-row radiator) from Eureka Generator & Radiator, back on 8/25/97. They were at 16900 S. Dixie Hwy., ste. AA; Miami, FL 33157. Tel.: (305)251-4777; fax (305)251-5498. I paid $103 and no shipping, since I picked it up at their Hollywood, FL location. They were at 5825 Dawson St.; Hollywood, FL 33023. Tel.: (954)962-9545 and 962-3318.

The second CSF 812 was purchased from BMB, on 8/23/99. They were located in Carrolton, TX, and gave me a shop price (I had them ship it to a registered shop in TX) of $126.36, inclusive of shipping charges to Brownsville, TX. Tel.: (972)242-1852.

Keep in mind that if one uses this radiator with a non-stock engine, such as is the case with my B16A, then it may require that you also use an after-market, thin radiator fan, since the OEM radiator fan had no clearance with the engine block. I know that it will work with the stock engines, since I did have a 2-row version of the longer one for the 1.5 liter engine, in an '84 CRX DX that I once owned.

how easy is it to instal a 92 half rad in a 87 si?


Ive done it ... I actually tapped the temp sensor to the bottom plastic of the rad and am using original sensors. Works perfect allthough i had to cut a small peice of metal away from right behind the header panel on top to allow access for the rad cap just held on with a few zip ties abd rubber bumpers... Just maje sure if you tap in the original sensor you seal it with some high temp silicone.. I also spliced a small conversion harness i had made to allow the fan to connect to the original harness.. Wasint too big of a job took a couple of hours for me
