Ohh Yeah these are all Mx-6 turbo pipes too, except for the pipe between the turbo to the IC, and the elbow on the outlet is from Audi 5000

That's his stock radiator. The 92+ came with that "half sized" radiator. The other half of the front end is consumed by the A/C condensor.

I have one of those "half sized" radiators from a 92 Civic in my 91 Hatchie, and it fits fine, except you have to sort of tilt it back a bit and not put the radiator brackets on it. Otherwise, it'll hit your hood when you try to close it.

Some people hack up thier front cross member to put that radiator in, it's really not worth all of that. Just tilt it back..

Sort of a dirty pic of my engine bay, but you get the idea. ;D

That radiator is harder than "just tilting it back" to get the fucker mounted.. we tried a few different ways on beaus crx, and the every way we tried was shitty.. I recommend a aftermarket cross member if you are going to run a EG radiator.

btw, the intercooler setup is sexy..

Jeff, Huh? Hrm.. I just tilted it back.. and it fits perfect.

Maybe it's my carbon fiber.. I never tried it with a regular hood..

ahh, see thats probably why, the radiator cap kept hitting the stock hood, plus it looked pretty homosexual with a radiator at a angle like that. ;)

Homosexual? ::covers hatchie's ears:: He's not a homo. I don't think. I hope not. ;D
