I finally got my hand on a digital camera. I know my engine bay is possibly the dirtiest known to man kind but I just havent had the chance to get in there and clean!!

The following pics are mainly to show off my new custom C&R radiator. Devin from OSOFAST and myself designed it, sent the specs to C&R and this is the result. Only took one week from order date to it arriving at my door. to C&R for the speed and craftmanship, I love this radiator. It is a twin pass side-to-side design that sits in a way to clear the back-door intercooler. I have to go buy a push fan now, can anyone tell me where to get a good deal on one?

Some pics are of the custom intercooler piping and intercooler. go to Devin and Brent of OSOFAST for the great welding job on the intercooler endtanks and the intercooler piping. Powdercoating was done by a local custom wheel shop.

The rest of the pics are just random shots of the engine bay, my work bench and my spare block (going to GE soon).

SOHC Power!

Here are a couple of my favorites, the rest can be found here: http://www.weeks101.com/PICS/crx/rad

Good f'n job daddy. Paint looks like what I used except darker. Is it Rustoleum metallic?

 

Looks good man, that stuff just looks to clean to be in that engine bay with that dirty motor

how much did that radiator run ya?

Haha, I agree! the pictures make it look even worse. The radiator retails at $400.

It's actually not paint, it's powdercoated. I have no idea what color he used, I just told the guy to try and match the color of the cap on my wastegate.

Thanks for the compliments guys

Ah, I was thinking that it looked a little too good and glossy to be paint

BTW, who did your piping? Looks like some nice beads there...

Very nice setup, did you have to modify your bumper to fit with that IC, if so do you have any pics of that, because im going to be installing an IC to my 91 sedan and wanted to see the best way to do it.

 

Yeah I had to modify my bumper but it was pretty simple and straightforward. What I did was use a plasma cutter to remove the center part of the front bumper support. Then I cut out the grill and trimmed the platic about an inch. Fits really sweet. Only about half the height of the intercooler actually shows, it's a pretty tall core. I wish I oculd have kept the grill in tact but it wasnt possible. I can go take some shots later of the bumper if you'd like.
