SPOON ALUMINUM RADIATOR FOR HONDA CIVIC EG6 EK4 EK9 19010-EK9-010
Edge Advantages of the Spoon Aluminum Radiator (19010-EK9-010)
- Significantly Improved Cooling Efficiency
- The radiator utilizes a twin-layer (dual-core) aluminum design that’s 35 mm thick, compared to the standard 10 mm thickness. This significantly increases its heat dissipation ability.
- Spoon claims an approximate 40% improvement in cooling performance over stock units.
- All-Aluminum Construction
- Being fully made of aluminum, the radiator offers superior heat conductivity and reduces overall weight compared to core/side-tank plastic alternatives.
- Maintains Compatibility with A/C Systems
- Designed to fit seamlessly into the stock engine bay, this radiator allows you to retain your air-conditioning system without any modifications.
- Seamless Fitment
- Spoon maintains the exact physical shape and mounting points of the OEM radiator, making for a direct bolt-on upgrade.
- Built for Street and Track Environments
- Recommended for heavy street use or track days, this radiator can handle higher thermal loads, making it ideal for spirited driving and racing conditions.
- Engineered for System Integration
- To optimize performance, Spoon advises pairing the radiator with complementary cooling components like their Spoon SEP hoses, thermostat, thermo switch, and radiator cap. This creates a robust, high-efficiency cooling system.
- Notably, Spoon’s radiator cap (Type-F for aftermarket use) increases system pressure—raising the coolant’s boiling point. The SEP hoses are designed to withstand this elevated pressure and high RPM environments.
- Handmade, High-Quality Manufacturing
- The radiator is handmade in Japan, reflecting Spoon’s commitment to craftsmanship and reliability.
Final Thoughts
This Spoon aluminum radiator is a significant upgrade over the OEM unit, striking a balance between reliability, performance, and maintainability. Whether you’re hitting the track or simply pushing your Civic harder on corner-heavy drives, its improved heat dissipation and enhanced build design can help keep temperatures in check.
