Default Mounting Half-Sized Rad from..

I posted this in the integra forum as well but i figured it wouldnt hurt to post here as well..

I have a boosted 91 teg of which requires me to have a half sized radiator. has anyone ever put in a radiator from a del sol..core is like 14 by 14 almost. i got measurement off advanceautoparts.com so im going to check the hose diameters and what not. but if n e one has done this let me know how they hold up and how reliable it would be..thanks guys.
Oh ya it said somethin about oil cooler or somethin on the radiator as well..if so could i just neglect that part all together?

Any info is helpful..

Ive put a half size in my crx and started with zip ties than went to home depot and got some aluminum stock which was about 1/4x11/4 and made my own brackets out of it. To adress the different hoses, I took 2 different hoses and cut and spliced them together with a small piece of tube and some hose clamps.

I just used 3 zip ties on the bottom and the stock radiator bracket on top to give it stability and it doesnt move a inch it fits snug and great!

LOVE MY PWR RADIATOR =D
