Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I wouldnt bother with cheap aluminum radiators. Id rather rock a decent new plastic/alum one instead. Go with high quality aluminum (I love my fluidyne) or stock replacement standard type. I've seen the cheapo aluminum ones fail just as fast as the stock replacement type. This of course is just my opinion..

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
me, my brother, and all our track buddies run the ebay fluidyne-style,, mishimoto/cx-racing/etc radiators.
they all seem awesome.
i'm consistently impressed with mishimoto stuff....and we put a no-name one in Gutty, our crx, and it was even nicer. awesome stuff

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Im relocating my fusebox to my trunk beside the battery. The stock alternator wire is about 8 gauge. What would be sufficient to run from the engine bay back to the fusebox for the alternator? One person said they use two 6 gauge wires to equal the amp flow of 0 gauge but that seems like over kill. Would 1 6 with an in line fuse be sufficient?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Thanks for everyone's input. Since I heard my baby start up on Sunday my fire has been reignited and I'm itching to buy some new parts for her.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I'm going in a more conservative direction with this build so I wouldn't want to tuck the radiator. Does the full-race rad require their crossmember? I'm still running the stock crossmember.

Not too many shops around these days for aftermarket parts! No lie Amazon has quite a few aftermarket parts. They carry AEM, DC and some others. Free shipping and no tax! I have bought a lot of parts for my hatch from amazon.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I remember trying to put the fluidyne in my 88 crx with the stock cross member and IIRC it wasnt going to fit without cutting up/modifying the cross member. Then again, who knows how straight that front end was. I have the full race cross member and both radiators (full race and fluidynes full) seems to fit fine in it in my 91 crx..

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Strange hotsauce, unless like you said, the front end was tweaked. I run a fluidyne for a 90-93 Integra application in my 89 hatch, no problems w/ the stock crossmember or the jimfab bar. I chose the DA app for the B series Hose diameters.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Im not sure if it is required.. but that may be a nice upgrade too! I know prices have dropped on them a lot, see them for a steal of a price at events lately.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Damn that looks awesome!! Also wondering - has anyone ever made a DA integra coupe? Take one teg hatch, swap the hatch for a trunklid, rear shelf and window from a 4 door. The window from the 4door actually matches the shape of the cutout on the hatch...
just a side thought
