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?

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
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

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
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.

Re: Crazy slanted Rad
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
