I'm going to be boosting my recenly swap b18c1 in my ef.
I need a new radiator. I know that my apexi turbo kit and downpipe will have pently of room but I wanted to see what other guys were running with a FULL radiator?
list turbo & manifold and downpipe.

i got a D16Z6 SOHC VTEC
with a HF manifold, 14B turbo, homemade dowpipe and such.....and my actual turbo compressor housing is about 1/2-3/4 " away from the actual radiator.. perfect fit if u ask me

i used a eg civic radiator and still had problems. its pretty ****** tight in there. i turned the turbo where the exhaust side is on the left and made a straight shot downpipe with no left or right bends. i recconstructed my crossmember to help with mounting the radiator. one of the best things to do is get an aftermarket one of fab. i trippin on how the one in that pic got that in. madd props. good luck bro i had a hard time.

I have a pic on my pc at home of a crx with hasport mounts, an inline pro manifold and a full length fluidyne. And yes, I plan on having the compressor on the driver's side.

My setup was, HCP, stock radiator, DRAG3 mani, custom DP, T3/T4E facing the passenger side. No problems. I have since changed to an EG/EK Fluidyne radiator and Jim Fab Craoss-member. Much nicer to work with.

Re: (Brad)
Brad, do you have a pic of you drivers side IC piping? I can't figure out how to get the IC piping right on the drivers side.
I see that you used your air intake pipe as IC piping. Doesn't it lower your boost a lot because of the larger diameter? Do you notice it while driving?

Re: (JOeS)
the ic pipe snakes towards the passenger side between the crossmember and tranny to dsm sidemounted ic. I don't drive the car, but I've messed around with different size ic pipes and didn't really feel a difference.
