Replacing the old radiator was quit easy, all I had to do was drain the coolant, unscrew the top rad support, take the old hoses off, unscrew the fan and then installed the new one doing the same steps backward. It took me about 45mins to do the replacement and then another 15 minutes or so to add water to the radiator as the engine warmed up and air bubbles came out.

Does the radiator of the 16 v-tec civic EG fit on a 15 v-tec engine???
It should be the same radiator, I use to have a 1.5 liter and upgraded to a 1.6 liter VTEC and I have no over heating issues at all. My temperatures are the same as before.
