can i use small radiator for turbo setup in an ef??
 

i'm trying to build up a '91 hb w/ dohc zc & tdo4 turbo. since the newer civics have the "half" radiator, i was thinking to trying to use it to buy more room for the turbo setup. has anyone use the smaller radiator on an ef w/ dohc zc/turbo swap?? and was there any cooling problems?
thanks in advance for any responses!!!

hose clamp

Use a piece of the smaller hose, cut it off so that it just fits over the inlet. Then put your bigger hose over that... and clamp down.

just to drop the half size about 1.5 inchs so it clears the hood, i welded it to my radiator support in the right spot and even used a whole saw bit where the bottom of the radiator sits and drilled holes and used the oem rubber groumets. simple as cake and works if you dont buy traction bars.
