Default Need help with Turbo setup on crx

Ive got a crx im turbocharging it has a Ls motor swap revhard manifold, garret T3/T4, Turbonetics deltagate, Xs enginering frount mount,. But the problem is the radiator from the crx want fit so i figured that a 92-00 civic rad would do the job but its to tall. So is there another radiator that will work or am I just gona have to get a custom job?

i'm still running the stock radiator/fan. all you have to do is move the fan over a little and trim the fan housing a little.

I went with custom radiator from c and r, you can also try a scirroco rad, they fit up under core support, giving plenty of space.Jason

The Rev-Hard mani is going to jam the turbo really close to the stock radiator. A cheap solution is to buy a pusher fan and put it in front of the stock radiator. That should help a little.

I just put in a 92-00 civic radiator and it cost me a good deal of money. I had to get a new crossmember actually. I wanted one anyways. You can modify the stock crossmember to accept the shorter radiator also.

If you have the stock cross-member then that causes alot of clearance problems.

I bought the Jim-Fab x-member. It was modified with new mounting tabs for the radiator.

I was going to get a Rev-hard mani, I like it better, but for fitment I went with DRAG3. You have to really cut into the stock x-member to get the radiator to fit right. I still had to do alot of modding to get mine to fit. Its in and I like it!
