1/2 sized civic radiator in integra installation
ive read the 1/2 sized civic radiator install guide for an integra on full-race's website and looked at many integs with half size radiators and sometimes noticed a difference on brackets from one and the other. for the bottom mounting tabs/brackets that hold the radiator from the bottom, do these tabs have to be cut, welded, and relocated or are there any tips and tricks you other 1/2 sized civic radiator users have w/o welding?

all you need to do is drill out the spot welds on the lower mount and move it over/ re weld it in the new location.

that is a nice idea but i already picked up my 1/2 sized radiator from a civic so i would need to relocate the stock radiator brackets or something.

Re: 1/2 sized civic radiator in integra installation (RedR)
buy some aluminum sticks from ACE hardware drill some holes, bend it, and put it as far left as possible. CRX1.8T drove his car with the radiator laying in the Xmember and held on by only hoses. Its one of the few times where it really doesnt matter.
I tested fitted this with a Peakboost Ramhorn

I moved both mounts so the radiator could be placed as far to the right as possible and I fabbed a bracket for the upper mount.
