Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

How are you guys getting the half radiators to fit in the 88-91 Civic's? The radiator hits the hood and it seems like the only way to get it to sit lower is to hack the front crossmember and I know there is an easier way to do this.

Help would be appreciated.

i thought that was the only way of going about it, hacking the cross member for the radiator to sit lower. thats the only logical solution i can think of?!? :-\

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

or you can make the top mount longer so it pushes the rad back into the engine bay more for more clearence?

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

I know someone on this board has actually done this. So how did you do it?

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

I've seen pics of a custom made top bracket that tilts it back to gain that clearance. It's on here somewhere.

thts what i did

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

How far did you have to angle it back? Is the bottom of the rad sitting at the same place the stock one was? Pics would definitely be appreciated

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic

So have you had any problems with the 75 civic radiator?

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

I didn't know this site was called Honda-Tech. My bad ::)

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

this sites search doesnt seem to work sometimes....but it has been discused a thousand times everywhere else also....

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

75 civic radiator? been done....

a 5g radaitor setup i found while SEARCHING :-*

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

Thanks for the link but that still doesn't help me becuase the D16Z6 top rad hose points straight at the front of the car and is not on the side of the head like this guy's. So If I tried to do this the angle would be too great to get the top rad hose on

use a top water outlet from a 88-91 civic/crx... ::)

Re:Half Radiator in a 90' Civic
 

You just have all the answers don't you. Thats a good idea. Now my next problem is I don't have the room to lean my rad back that far. I think I'm just going to build a custom cross member. Estimated date of completion: 2010

oh my bad guess i didnt read that very well...i have never had cooling problems, i used that high flow fan. i dont have that setup anymore cuz i got into a little accident and the radiator was toasted. i run a EG radiator now, single core, still no problems even on a turboed B18...
