I know that someone from Honda-tech discovered this little quirk, but it anyone here using the first gen Dodge Neon radiator in their CRX's? I know that it is made by the same company who makes the radiators, and it is half the size of the normal rex ones. One side of it mounts up perfectly and the other needs fabrication, but it works with the stock CRX front crossmember and leaves lots of room for the turbo... Best bet is to get it from a 95 Neon without a/c, it can be manual or auto.

 

I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to get a turbo in there, but I don't know if a smaller radiator would be a good idea. My radiator is twice as thick as stock.

I've checked about 7 different auto parts stores in my area, and all but one had only one (fullsize) listed. Napa was the only one with two, but the difference was like 35" across vs 28". 28" is about the same width as the stock radiator, so there's no reason to use that. Unless you can find it in a junkyard, I don't think it'd be possible to get one affordably...maybe only from the dealership. If someone had a part# I'd say maybe, but I'm pretty convinced it's impossible to find them.

I have one of the small ones in my shop. It should fit in my car nicely, the only problem is there is no filler neck on the tanks. They are plastic so I need to buy an inline filler from summit. also have no idea how it is going to cool?

 

I have one in my neon :P
