I only have 12 inches between my headlight and wastegate! a half radiator doesnt even come close to fitting! I tried tilting it back and tucking it somewhat behind the headlight and it overheated like a mother (knew it was going to happen)

i dont want to pay $350+ for a custom radiator, do i have any other options?

its a crx gsr SC61


EDIT!: problem fixed! see page 2!

i had to get a aftermarket crossmember that has the lower mount so the radiator will fit correctly place racing or jim fab will all work

 

Your best bet would be a custom or go to the junk yard and try to find something that fits.

i have a z10 crossmember, but height is not the issue.

 

um....what about relocating the wastegate????

but my beautiful manifold

 

WTF you doing running a stock intake mani?&gt;

PS b-series in a EF chassis just sucks...

Sorry.

 

Why not move the wastegate to the top of the mani somehow, looks possible, might be the easiest way without getting a custom radiator.

 

The question is, was this manifold made for this chassis, and if so, what sort of radiator is it designed for?

I see two choices. Spend $400 on a custom radiator that will fit, or spend $400 for a manifold that will fit.

what are you talking about? stock intake mani with open plenum is very good for forced induction.

 

put an elbow on the wastegate, from the manifold side, and clock it up a bit, had to do this on a friends.

 

yea, wg placement is to blame for the rad. not fitting

Yea wtf are u talking about? B series is fine in ef chassis, its when u turbo it starts getting cramped.
If u don't like it then get an eg, simple as that, otherwise enjoy the lightweight fun

 

slap an elbow on the mani for the wastegate...

i was thinkin that too, ill give that a shot

 

full race makes a half size radiator for the crx that should work its about 12x12 i bought one for my integra to fit with the peak boost manifold and wastegate. I made it fit and havent had anything close to an over heating problem yet. It is pricey($300) but it works nice.

 

you can hit up i think passwordJDM has a cheap crossmember. its a factory replacement sort of thing with better clearances for bigger downpipes. and it also has provisions for half core radiators. however im unsure of that clearance between the WG and radiator. even on an EG i think its a shitty placement and needs revising.

 

ordered a 90 degree elbow from crpturbo.com and a full race 1/2 radiator for a crx!!!

^^^SICK^^^^..... do that or use a elbow, a elbow costs nothing at all, under 50 bucks.....

 

i dont want to put my radiator like that because it looks like ****!

 

I think the slanted radiator looks slick. If you dont want to do that tho, have someone modify your manifold so the wastegate doesn't go off at such an angle. Or buy a wastegate elbow.
