Ok, i've got a B16 in my CRX and i'm putting a t3/t04 turbo on it. Problem is i can't get the radiator to fit. I bought a rad for a 95 del sol vtec but the damn thing won't clear the crossmember. Is my only option some cutting and denting or should i have gotten a different radiator? The stock radiator won't clear the turbo so i need one of the half-sized radiators. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The 5g radiators will work, it takes some finesse to get them to fit nicely. I would chop off the factory lower radiator mount, This gives a little more room on the bottom. I then tilt the radiator ever so slightly toward the firewall. So basically the lower radiator hose is just about touching the front cross member. Make some custom brackets off the front cross member to hold the radiator, and your good to go!, yes I know its a bitch, the first time me and beau got one, we thought it was going to be ------- impossible, but since then, we've managed to get them in there. Also, it maybe necassary to cut a very small portion of the webbing under the hood. I think dustin did that to his?

Good luck, and dont give up, you will be happy in the end.

i really dont like this setup, mainly cuz its not bolted down to anything, just held in place by the hoses im planning on replacing it with a two core del Sol unit soon (with real bracket setup, new hood, etc)...
