Default neukin ac manifold and aftermarket radiator

Ok so I bought a used neukin ac an ps compatible ramhorn manifold. On their website they claim you can run a full size radiator with their manifold just have to set up the driver side as a pusher. Now my motor isn't in the car yet but want to order a full size radiator cause the Arizona heat gets to 110+ in the summers and don't want no heating issues. Now my motor isn't in the car yet but was wondering if anyone is runing this manifold with a full size aluminum 2 core radiator does it fit or maybe a mishimito 3 core radiator? In the event that only the full size oem fits would it be better than a half size 3radiator core one? Thanks in advance

lot of people got rid of the Neukin for exactly that reason. It never did what it promised for either A/C or setup with the full radiator.

My advice is to get rid of that POS while you can, and haven't put a dime more into it. Get something more robust and not that mickey mouse nonsense. Good luck.

Dam I can't afford another manifold at the moment. I have it mounted on my engine stand and everything seems to be ok. Just a little on the tight side. But not in the car yet. In regards to the radiator how much more fluid does a half size 3 core radiator hold vs a stock integra one

the amount of coolant is irrelevant. If you're to a point where you're counting coolant bottles, it might be time to just wait until you have the correct equipment in order to continue. But to throw good money after bad will make your build even worse.

GET RID OF IT...

Look ok. Ill look into finding a better ac manifold. Is there any that allow for a full size radiator or are they all mostly for 1/2 size radiators?

The "tubular log" manifolds do quite well in allowing a full radiator with A/C.

For example.



This uses a full sized radiator, air conditioning and power steering.



This is using the following manifold:

CaliDads build. That is a prime example of a correctly done build with all the bases covered, very thorough build. That log mani form Spooling or Go Auto is a great mani and will support lots or power and it will last.

Just remember, with more "show", there's more you'll need to do to get it to fit correctly, plus address any ambient heat problems. (Grinding of the block to fit A/C, making sure A/C compressor and condensor can survive the use of a "ramhorn", dumptube placement, etc..

It works, but just be ready to do some engine bay reconfigurement.

Shodan, few questions, how much power can you make with those manifolds? I have a fullrace ac compatible and I'm using the precision 6262, but not a lot of room, and who make those manifolds or where can you get them?
Thanks

And you think I can fit my full size integra radiator with the 6262?

So far just over 500whp or so. Californiadad is currently at 475 and will go for 500whp with his GSC camshafts with this tubular log manifold from Spoolin' Performance.

Using an "A/C compatible" Kooks-Manifold and a full sized radiator is going to cause serious fitment issues, especially with a turbo using a T04S like the Precision 6262.

You may have to forget the full-sized radiator if you're going to the maximum with this large turbocharger.

otherwise, the manifold that you're asking about is from 2 companies.

Spoolin' Performance

I just ordered the Spoolin Performance log. I am sooo trying to keep AC and a full radiator as well. It gets over 100 degrees here all the time. I dont know if it is possible in a CRX but I am going to try.

I saw someone using fullsize radiator on Integra with the manifold I'm using, but I know they were using the gt3076 turbo but still
