If you plan on using this vehicle for more than just the quick occasional roll-on, you should be willing to tackle a redesign of the cooling system or choose a different powerplant.

With all the options available, why a civic? If you don't have space or time to do more than 24 hours' work, save your cash and buy something that has what you want from the beginning, like a 95 GSR.
also my friend is running a stock d15 civic and his engine compartment heats up SO bad it melted his speaker cable and his headlight it melted the cover off it lol. sry for the doublt post btw ><
