I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what to use for a radiator on my B16 Turbo CRX. I checked both my local junkyards, neither has the rare dodge neon half sized radiator. I checked on some neon message boards and even they have a hard time finding them. So my other choice was an EG radiator, I tried it and there is no way to make it fit even with frame modification. What are my other options? If I go aftermarket I need something as cheap as possible, please help.

well, place racing makes the front crossmeber that allows a 93 civic half radiator to fit like stock, butt is like $300 or so. You are having clearence issues with a T3? were does the HCP mounts place the motor in respect to HASports? I know with my HASports, they move the motor back far enoungh(TPS 1 1/2" from firewall) so that i could run a T3/T04E and a stock radiator without clearence problems. Its tight but it works. I had place racing mounts but there was no way the turbo would fit, so i had to swap them out. Hope this helps...

Well it's a homemade manifold and I should of put the turbo closer to the block and took off the internal wastegate, then I could of used the stock radiator. What is the cheapest aftermarket radiator?

Ha, I wish I had that much room, I definitly need a half sized something.

I think I found the perfect radiator, it's the same height as the CRX, 1/2 inch smaller in width than the EG, and it's a "Two Row All Metal". It's out of a 96 Suzuki Swift and accepts the same size lines as the CRX.

Core Size: 12-13/16 X 12-15/16 X 1-5/16

Inlet Header: 13-9/16 X 1-9/16

Outlet Header: 13-9/16 X 1-9/16

Inlet Connection: TOP 1-1/8 DRIVERS SIDE

Outlet Connection: BOTTOM 1-1/8 DRIVERS SIDE

Transmission Oil Cooler: 7-7/8

Engine Oil Cooler: NONE

Mounting:

Notes: TWO ROW, ALL METAL

I have a 91 crx with a b16. turbocharged with a revhard kit. I know what you mean about clearance problems. when i was on the dyno my turbo punched a hole in my radiator. So for a cheap fix i took it to a radiator shop and had them weld the radiator floots closed were the turbo was rubbing. that way there is no coolant running thru that section of the radiator. I have had no problem with over heating and it cost a total of 20.00$ hope this helps

before my car was stolen i had PWR make me a custom piece.it had the same dimensions as a 5th gen rad.the exception being the dimesnsions were switched so it could clear my hood.no coolant issues whatsoever.i think the caore was about 2.6 inches thick.email me for a pic

i have a b20b turbo with my stock rad using the inline pro mani... just get someone real real real good to make your piping and it all works

I'm just going to order a PWR, you really can't go wrong with one. I had to design my manifold with the turbo further away from the block because of the internal wastegate.

Why not get the Neon radiator from a parts store?
