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 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.

Doodoo yeah ive got the stock cross member I just tried to test fit a 92-00 civic rad but its about 2inchs to tall with the rad hiting on the bottom of the cross member and with the rev hard manifold and the turbo ive got theres no way possiable to use the stock rad the turbo sits to far forward.

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!
