DNA MOTORING Radiator for Honda/Acura Civic Del Sol Integra MT — 2-Row T-6061 Aluminum, Louvered Fins

High-performance replacement radiator built from T-6061 aluminum, designed to fit 1992–2001 Honda/Acura 1.5L–1.8L I4 manual-transmission engines.

This DNA MOTORING RA-HC92-42-2 radiator is a direct-fit cooling core engineered for older Civic, Del Sol and Integra models that originally ran D15, D16 and B18 four-cylinder engines. It replaces aged or damaged OEM radiators with a light, corrosion-resistant aluminum core and reinforced ABS tanks, combining improved heat exchange area and durability without modifying factory mounts. The unit is double-core (two-row) to increase cooling capacity while retaining the original inlet/outlet spacing for straightforward installation on manual-transmission vehicles.

Will this radiator physically fit my Honda or Acura?

Yes—this radiator is made to match the OEM mounting points and hose locations for the specified model years. It’s intended for manual-transmission (MT) versions of these cars and may not fit automatic-transmission variants due to different cooler provisions.

• Compatible models: 1992–2000 Honda Civic MT, 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol MT, 1994–2001 Acura Integra MT (half-size).
• Core dimensions: 14.25" (height) × 13.75" (width) × 1.50" (depth).
• Inlet/outlet diameter: 1-1/4 inch; matches typical factory hose sizes for listed engines.
• Interchange part numbers: 19010P01003, 19010P01004, 19010P01013, 19010P01014.

How does the construction improve cooling and longevity?

This radiator uses a high-density louvered fin layout and a two-row T-6061 aluminum core to expand surface area and speed heat dissipation. The ABS end tanks reduce overall weight and resist impact, while the full-aluminum core minimizes corrosion compared with older factory cores.

• Full T-6061 aluminum core for efficient heat transfer and corrosion resistance.
• Multi-layer louvered fins increase airflow contact and cooling surface area.
• ABS tanks offer lightweight durability and secure mounting points.
• Double-core (2-row) configuration for higher cooling capacity under load.

Do I need additional oil coolers or transmission interfaces?

This unit is a straightforward engine-cooling radiator and does not include transmission (TOC) or engine oil cooler (EOC) passages. If your vehicle requires an automatic transmission cooler or oil-to-water oil cooler, you will need a different radiator designed for those connections or an external cooler.

• No built-in transmission oil cooler; intended for manual-transmission vehicles.
• No integrated engine oil cooler ports—external solutions required if needed.
• Designed for direct replacement of factory radiator on MT models without extra fittings.

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

The radiator is designed for drop-in replacement using the factory mounts, but professional installation is recommended to ensure proper coolant fill, bleeding and hose clamp torque. Regular coolant changes and visual inspections of hoses and clamps will extend service life.

• Mounts directly to OEM brackets; verify hose alignment before tightening.
• Requires correct coolant mixture and proper bleeding to avoid air pockets.
• Inspect connections and pressure-test the system after installation.
• Recommended to replace worn hoses and thermostat for best performance.

Who is this radiator for? Car owners restoring or upgrading older Hondas and Acuras with D15, D16 or B18 I4 engines who want a lightweight, corrosion-resistant replacement that improves heat rejection over many aging stock cores. It’s especially suited to enthusiasts who maintain manual-transmission Civics, Del Sols or Integras and need a direct-fit aluminum core without transmission cooler provisions. If you require an automatic-transmission cooler or integrated oil cooler, choose a radiator model specifically built with those fittings.
