2001 Acura/Honda GSR Radiator Replacement, Real Time -EricTheCarGuy

1. I notice some cars u get there really dirty in motor bay. I’m from nz. Is that because of snow??

2. How did you remove the air pockets having and issues with idle after changing out the coolant.

3. Why do older honda engines like this one have the transmission on the passenger side and the accesory belt on the driver's side? I always wondered why did Honda made those engines with that setup, while everyone else seems to do the opposite.

4. Hey Eric can you do a video how to replace that Radiator for the MDX 2004 please

5. What is that hose you keep pushing out of the way that has what looks like tire intake valve. I pushed mine and a bunch of air came out. Good or bad? What the heck is it? Can't find what it is on google.

6. how did you get the ac condensor off the radiator? i am working on my 2006 chevy impala 3.9v6 LTZ. I have the cooling fans out and removed. just the AC condensor is attached onto the radiator when i try to pull it out.

7. is this the same GSR you end up buying?

8. I sealed mine with dynagrip plastic tank repair with the assumption of replacing it when I could aford one, It has worked thus far for 5 months and no leaking. My point though is it was a job to keep it going till I could geta new one, My local mechanic (fantastic mechanic) was in amazement at how tight the seal was. Give it a go its good stuff but its half measure. Eric you should try it ina vid its good for repairing fuel tanks and such as well hardens to like concrete so its at least tougher than the plastic radiator! lol
   But as a philosophy I dont like putting a bandaid over a knife wound but I was tight for cash in the middle of nowhere and bam.

9. Good video. I have a 94 gsr that is on its 3rd radiator but the car has 310,000 miles on it. My father and I love your work.

10. Up at the top of the RPM the GSR definitely has some power 😉

11. Yea pulled out the radiator just to find out that I ordered the wrong one. I ordered a Denso radiator but my fan brackets didn't fit smh. Now I have to order and find out which brand fits.

12. Thanks Eric. Just found out I have the same problem. I have 99 Gsr and it still runs like a champ.

13. Hello Eric, what are your thoughts on aluminum radiators?

    Is it a worthy upgrade? Would it increase engine life in the long run?

14. HEY THERE ERIC I WAS WONDERING HOW DO I BLEED A 1996 INTEGRA GSR OBD2A V-TEC RADIATOR? I WAS TOLD THAT OBD2S DONT HAVE A BLEEDER FOR COOLANT SO AFTER FLUSHING THE RADIATOR AND RE FILLING IT I JUST  TAKE THE CAP OFF TUN HEATER ON AND LET THE CAR RUN FOR 5-10 MINUTES THEN IT SHOULD BE GOOD? IS THIS CORRECT?

15. I hate factory spring hose clamps.  Is there a good reason why they should be used vs. screw clamps?

16. thanks…..i liked the format too…..bob

17. I've done two radiators this year. Videos like this saved me a lot of money! Thanks Eric!

18. the difference on those radiators is about a quarter inch on the fan mount. knowing which one you need is as easy as a look at the vin. first digit 1,4or 5 is american manufacture and denso rad. a j is japanese builr and valeo rad.

19. Sandwich I want to make sure that

20. that GSR is nice 😀

21. wow, a stock gsr… theres hope.

22. My 2000 Integra GS makes a constant grinding/rattling noise at idle. The noise goes away once I hit 10 mph. It has 90k miles on it. Its an automatic. Any ideas on what I should check first?

23. The book time for the radiator on a 2001 Integra GS-R is 1.6 hours, and you did it in about 20 minutes. Nice! Love being efficient on the job, too.

24. I think he already has a donate button. It's been explained though that he doesn't want to get a lift, because he wants the videos to represent the repairs most of us do at home, without lifts.

25. Personally I find it easier to disconnect the lower radiator hose at the thermostat housing, and remove it with the radiator. Then mark it, swap it over and tighten the lower clamp because I know it's in the correct position.

    Also, I've often come across leaking radiators on Hondas and in many cases I have found that the radiator cap was bad, which I believe resulted in the radiator bursting due to excess pressure.

    Not trying to sound like a smartass, just sharing my experience…

26. I was about to say the same thing. I've never had a JDM car before, but if I had THAT car, I would make it a POINT to make it look like everyone wished they wanted it.

27. Lol

28. I like this style of shooting videos on topics you've already covered. But I think it would be better if you thought out loud while you are working, instead of adding the voice over latter.

29. someone needs to take better care of that teggy gsr , i had two of them and they didnt look like used up goods under the hood..i bet that thing needs a v tec silenoid and timing belt replaced as well as a distributor o -ring

30. He doesn't use a lift because it's meant for the general public

31. I know I've posted this before on other videos, but… You need a lift!!!!! We should take up a "Get Eric The Car Guy a lift" collection.

32. Hey just want to say thanks for the videos! This is an efficient way of doing this job, especially when your flat rate.

33. sorry Eric, I like your video the other way….

34. Make sure you buy a quality replacement radiator or you will likely have problems down the road, I speak from experience.

35. do you even lift bro?

36. Not again…
