hey guys

im thinking to get t3/60-1 turbo for my car, EF CRX ( B18C )
i just wondering if there will be enough space in the engine bay ?
do i need to get smaller size radiator ?

 

JDM_DOHC_SIR has a CR-X hybrid....his engine compartment is so tight dude...I don't thing toy could get anything larger than a t3 in there...t3/t4 would hit the fans and radiator core...I guess if you got a low profile single fan, it might squeeze in...

 

You will probably have to run the civic half size radiator and a slim line fan.

 

Definetly need at least an EG radiator...If you want a good flowing 3" dp, you'll probably need a custom radiator too. I did.

 

Or you can go ahead and use the 95-99 Neon Radiator.

 

Try running the half size radiator and then use a pusher fan, one that is mounted in front of the radiator. You will have the room you need then.

 

how much for the push fan thingy and custom radiator core say as big as EG's radiator ?

thanks

 

You can use a del sol vtec dual core radiator. Its the same dimensions as the stock cx/dx radiators but is double as thick and has much more cooling potential. The pusher fans are available at any autoparts store. Just buy an aftermarket fan preferablly in 10" or 12", 12" being the largest you will be able to fit in front of the radiator. You can run the motor on most of the aftermarket radiator fans in either direction, so just give the motor power and see what polarity you need to run to make it push the air. Its quite simply, and the fan assembly should include directions explaining all of what i am saying. Autozone has ones that flow more than the FAL fans, for 45.00.

 

I've got a 4/3 hybrid on an FMAX manifold with my B16a on Hasport Mounts.

I've got about half an inch clearance, but i'll be removing that with my step up to a SLIGHTLY larger 4/3 hybrid...

I wanted to go 60-1, but I've put it out of my head as impossible without changing ALOT of stuff, which I don't have the cheese for.

[edit] OH YEAH, FYI, that's a 1-800-RADIATOR brass core stock size radiator.[/edit]

here's a shot of radiator/wastegate spacing, which is about how much room there is from the compressor housing as well...

Is that air-liquid intercooler running well still? I've pmmed u before about it but i'm just curious. I don't see too many air-liquid intercoolers out there except on drag cars.

 

Mine runs great... I've developed a SMALL leak at the corner of my aluminum reservoir, it only drips 5-6 times over night, so it's not a pressing issue, but the car is doing great.

BTW, we were AMAZED at the dyno. After 30 dyno pulls in under 2 hours, the intercooler water never got above luke warm temps, I can't say anywhere near as much for my radiator/engine temps...they rose pretty badly during pulls. :/

 

i dunno if its worth the hastle to go with an air -water(imo)

 

I dont want to sound stupid or anything, but is a t3/60-1 bigger than a t4? Im looking for a turbo for my accord h22a, but im not sure on the size, specs, or good brands. Thanks
