half size radiator
 

Basicly I have a turbo mounted to a cx manifold, with a adaptor plate, I was stupid enough to make it all up and not measure it to fit.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FREAKING ROOM for the damn turbo.

where (or what car) can i get a half size radiator, Something i can find in a junk yard.

plus How do i regulate boost, I have one of the Garret t-25(ok well the thing says garret on it and i can't remember the numbers so i dont know what it is exactly but what else could it be) turbos from a lebaron, it has the wastegate thats attached.

So whats is it set for from the factory and how would i alter it...........

I was thinking about adding(or subtrating) a piece from the actutor, but if the thing is set for a certain boost then i dont think that would accomplish anything.

So what do i do?>??


Just to add, just as a joke do you think i could jimmy rig a leafblower on my motor with a bov valve??? lol i think that would be hilarious.........2 gas tanks.

The neon half radiators are pretty hard to get lately. I tried to post 2 different times on the neon forum to buy one. One time a guy responded, but he never contacted me.
The VW radi. looks pretty good to me...

My friends HF has a some what half-sized radiator, but its larger than a neon one. i like the VW idea... $136 for a brand new one sounds pretty good, but a junkyard would basiclly give you one..

I had to do the same thing on my crx and was using a cx manifold with a td04 on my zc. Just pick up a delsol dual core koyo radiator from radiator.com for 100 or 110 for a lifetime warranty. That price is shipped too! Mad cheap. Just make sure you pick up some new hoses casue the old ones won't fit. I had to use 1.8 ls hoses cause the 1.6 dohc vtec hoses at autozone wouldn't even fit. Just modify your rad. supports or chop some of crossmember out otherwise the hood won't close. email for more info at hndphiemon@tds.net. I will show the way young grasshopper and you will see the light, and some some room for that turbo!

ya i use a junkyard sol rad and it fits great and dosent overheat. i hacked up my support right in front of the crossmember to fit it with the turbo. i just used stock hoses and cut them shorter.

The top rad. hose fit with a little elbow grease but the lower wasn't gonna fit even after I slit it a little. The b18 fit perfect to my zc. But whatever works. Radiator.com gets a thumbs up by me for being super cheap and extremely fast. Order the rad. on thurs and had it on tuesday all for 110 with a lifetime warranty and it comes with a radiator cap too! Autozone and napa were gonna charge me well over 200 for the same radiator and they sell performance radiators too.

I found a VW rad. for $65 6 month warrenty.

Re:half size radiator
