Crazy slanted Rad
 

I got some crazy slant goin on trying to make the 92+ Civic rad fit under my hood... I figure I could hack the frame that it sits on the lower it... damn that engine bay is tight. Gonna be shitty fitting a turbo in there. Any suggestions or creative methods of making this fit? ???

im useing a 94 teg rad in my ef hatch, sits on the traction bar inbetween part of the support and tranny mount, had to bang the hood braceing in a bit over the rad cap and it fit perfectly.. you may wanna stay with a half size though, if so good luck and lemme know what ya end up doing, i may switch back

I made some mounts off the cross member and my radiator seems to fit lower and more towards the passenger side. Its a smaller OEM style though.

yeah that ---- aint gonna fit :3

Use a neon half rad, a geo metro or swift rad. Im using a metro rad and fan and it works great.

I need to find a rad that's shorter than the stock 92-95 EX/Si rads. The EX rad I have now fits in nicely with my homemade front crossmember, but has to sit a little more centered cause I made my crossmember sit a hair too high. Not to thread jack, but does anyone know of a rad that might be shorter than the ex piece so I can sit it forward more? Thinking of trying to find one to fit right behind the bumper cover and under that metal crossbrace on top that holds the hood latch.

a lot of the local EF turbo's are rockin the EG rad with a JDM tilt just like that, seems to work fine. 1 using a log, 2 using a SSAC style/reverse ramhorn style, none have a/c or p/s, and the biggest turbo is a t25 on a B16, then a 14b on a B16/17 head, then a KKK on a built D16 :6

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

That's the reason i need to find a different rad...my EF has a b16 just like this dude, i have the ssac style reverse mani, but my t3/to4e with 3" dp won't clear where the rad sits right now :P

I'm running this manifold:

with a T3/T4. I'll be dumping power steering if it doesnt fit. AC is already gone. The thing I'm really worried about now is how the hell I'm gonna fit a downpipe. Perhaps I'll run without one LOL.

Thanks 90DX for the link, I was searching for that!

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

Ive done multiple kits on EF's and have come to the conlusion that a traction bar setup is mandatory as it fixes all the headaches you get trying to boost 88-91's.

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

Werd. Traction bars eliminate the JDM slant and down pipe issues.

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

Anyone care to explain to the noob how they work and what they do? :l

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

you know that big piece of metal that the rad/condensor/front tranny mount bolt to, thats the front x-member. its the big fat bitch thats in the way. an aftermarket one is basically a tube.

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

I did a crazy angle and moved my battery into the trunk so i could move the rad over some more. I also got a thicker rad coming from lsd and i know its going to fit with a slim fan.

Dr. Boost owns the gangsta rad lean :8

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

i had problems getting my eg in my crx but the way i did mine is not for the weak at heart i used a sawzall and notched my core support out a little to get it low enough for hood clearance and it may have a little lean but not much it looks very factory.all about fuction instead form but didnt want it to look compleatly afro engineered

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

i got taco time performance rad. its like the dual core del sols. fits fine with a slim fan. yours looks a lot taller, what is up with that? what kind of radiator

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
 

on creative ways to make it fit i suggest using tons of zip ties.
