Default Crazy slanted Rad

I got some crazy slant goin on trying to make the 92+ Civic rad fit under my hood... I figure I could hack the frame that it sits on the lower it... damn that engine bay is tight. Gonna be shitty fitting a turbo in there. Any suggestions or creative methods of making this fit?

im useing a 94 teg rad in my ef hatch, sits on the traction bar inbetween part of the support and tranny mount, had to bang the hood braceing in a bit over the rad cap and it fit perfectly.. you may wanna stay with a half size though, if so good luck and lemme know what ya end up doing, i may switch back

I made some mounts off the cross member and my radiator seems to fit lower and more towards the passenger side. Its a smaller OEM style though.

Use a neon half rad, a geo metro or swift rad. Im using a metro rad and fan and it works great.

I need to find a rad that's shorter than the stock 92-95 EX/Si rads. The EX rad I have now fits in nicely with my homemade front crossmember, but has to sit a little more centered cause I made my crossmember sit a hair too high. Not to thread jack, but does anyone know of a rad that might be shorter than the ex piece so I can sit it forward more? Thinking of trying to find one to fit right behind the bumper cover and under that metal crossbrace on top that holds the hood latch.

a lot of the local EF turbo's are rockin the EG rad with a JDM tilt just like that, seems to work fine. 1 using a log, 2 using a SSAC style/reverse ramhorn style, none have a/c or p/s, and the biggest turbo is a t25 on a B16, then a 14b on a B16/17 head, then a KKK on a built D16

That's the reason i need to find a different rad...my EF has a b16 just like this dude, i have the ssac style reverse mani, but my t3/to4e with 3" dp won't clear where the rad sits right now :P
