Re: Engine bay room in CRX
it wont be too bad. i used a 92+ rad. and i chopped off the stock rad mounts, and notched into the rad support about a 1/2 inch (the length of the 92+ rad.) then welded mounting tabs down about 2 inches lower than stock, used a slim fan and the stock cross member, and everything fit just fine, even the downpipe (this is a b16 crx) the one thing that sucked was i had to notch out the cross member so the lower rad hose would be able to get down low enough to clamp onto the radiator, this is where a set of traction bars would be great, no chopping anything up, or welding new mounts, plus you get less wheel hop, its doable w/o them but if you got the $$$ buy traction bars, because you''ll see just how how much wheel hop a fwd car have with a boosted b series in a crx, trust me its terrible.....

Do you have pics of your setup? I have a half radiator I can pull of the integra, I just need to make new mounting brackets, correct?
