I have a 91 CRX with a B18C and am putting a turbo kit in it using a tubular manifold that is a copy of the full race or at least looks like it. As you know, there is no room for the stock radiator as the turbo comes up all the way up. I have tried an EG radiator setup but its too big even after I changed to a tubular traction bar setup. It just sits too low. Can anyone suggest another "SMALLER" radiator or a different way to make this work.

the full race radiator for the civics is a little bit shorter, but thats the only one i know of. I got my 92 raditator to fit but just barely with a place racing crossmember. I had to hammer some of the webbing a bit to clear the radiator cap

Ive heard of people using the Dodge neon one but I dont know what year. Can anyone tell me? That way I can at least go to the parts store and get an idea of what it looks like dimension wise.

The 95-99 Dodge Neon non-A/C radiator fits pretty well, even the hoses are close to matching up. It's very important that you ask for the non-a/c radiator though, otherwise they will give you a full-sized one. Couple things with using the Neon radiator, first you will need to purchase an external filler neck (inline) as the Neon radiator does not have a filler neck. If you are planning on daily driving your car, the Neon radiator will probably not cut it. It is a thin single core. I used one on my CRX race car, and I always had an overheating issue with it.

I have since switched to a Full-Race EF half sized radiator. Thicker core and water temps are much more manageable.

Here's an old pic of when I was using the Neon radiator:

The Full Race fits great in my 89 REX however the FAL FAN was to big to fit, had to opt for a smaller one.

Full-race FTW, I bought the traction bar and radiator combo used from a member on a local forum for a great price, If you have the money I will highly recommend full-race.

here are some pics on how it sits,had to removed the hood latch because of my manifold but the hood clearance is good.
