Make a duct with a smaller opening for the backside of your civic rad. kinda like a fan shroud but I would think smaller opening.

Can you fit a Scirocco radiator with your piping setup? They fit inside the radiator support but are full width type unit, not half.

I think he can but he currently still has the A/C so if he takes that option he has to delete all the A/C stuff first.

^^^That is the only thing holding me back. I know I have to do a search, but is there a way where I can just delete the condenser and keep everything else in case I want go back? To tell you the truth, the only reason I'm keeping the ac is just in case I decide to sell the car. It seems like the first question that pops up is "does the AC work?". The only time I drive the car is in summer with the windows down(because of the tint).

Before I forget...what is every ones take on aluminum vs copper radiators?

Would it really be that hard just to shift the AC condenser towards the bumper, or just run a smaller condenser? Seems easily do-able to me. That way you could run it in conjunction with the scirocco.

The honda civic(of all things) condenser would be a great candidate for that. I have to do some researching if the lines and fittings will work though.
