WTF to do?
 
on my crx turbo its too large i've had to cut and fab places for the radiator to sit, i had to switch to a civic raditor make my own brackets that lowered the radiator. no the DP is in the way so ---- wont fit , i think im going to the junk yard to find a small radiator from something to get it to fit, i measured it, it needs to be like 14x14 to fit in there good, anyone have any sugestions?

Re:WTF to do?
 
is it a completely custom dp or do you have one of those stock cast elbows on there? if so ------ cut that ----, get a flange and a mandrel bend and make yer own dp...

what turbo is it?

Might want to look into getting a custom front cross member

well what about the downpipe? is it a custom downpipe... you should beable to squeeze it by the cross member...

Re:WTF to do?
 
o no i can get it by the cross member bro, its the radiator is being a -----. i've already made brackets and lowered it,it worked great til i put the turbo up there and the exhaust flange is shuved into the side of the radiator.

post a pic because that doesnt make too much sense that the dp is hitting the rad really...you arent using that shitty one that ssauto gives you right?

Re:WTF to do?
 
i had almost the same problem with my last kit. i had to cut alot off the crossmember by the passenger headlight to squeeze it in there and drill out the rad bottom supports and reweld them about an inch and a half over. it sucked but it turned out pretty good.

just cut that bitch up until it fits ;)

Re:WTF to do?
 
ya jeff same here i cut the ---- out the cross member so now im buying a jim fab, but until then the civic rad it too big, the turbo sits too far out it is right in the radiator, sry i dont have pics.

what kind of IC are you running? it would have been easier to just buy some mandrel bends online and cut them yourself and either use a ---- load of couplers or weld them.

Re:WTF to do?
