88 CRX Radiator Replacement
 
I bought my 88 crx recently and the bracket for the radiator was jb welded to hell and is now leaking anti-freeze. I need to buy a radiator that is pretty cheap and won't take welding to put in. The reason I put this in hybrid, is because I will eventually swap a B18B turbo and would like a recommendation that would work with this set up. Any/all info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The stock Crx radiators are more than adaqute for cooling a hybrid.

Ebay has pretty decent deals on radiators

I personally like using the small 5g civic radiators, they cool "OK" and provide lots of extra room for turbos & such.

Also, they are really easy to replace... shouldnt take more than 10-15mins

Will swapping for a 5th gen radiator require new hoses and mounting brackets? I know they are much easier to get a hold of. Thanks again for the help.

The same old hoses will work, they are all pretty much the same, now the newer radiators are taller, meaning the mounting brackets will not work or line up perfect, but with some creativity, or a few zip ties, you can make it work.
