full race manifold with civic radiator?
sorry to pop up a new thread on this but couldnt get any replys on the other thread i posted in.
Ok I want a full race manifold but have no room for the wastegate to clear. Has anyone here used a civic radiator(half size) on their lude? Does anyone know if I will have any over heating issues with it? I thought about mounting fans on both sides to keep it cool. Anthony has a nice little setup but i would like to see if there are any other options out there...what do you guys think?

Bad idea.... check out brians car http://www.preluderacing.com he put the radiator where the AC condensor was.... frees up a lot of room... look into it

hood pins? I think you can modify the latch somehow....... and no, no trays... he moved those mounts on the bottom to the other side.... maybe he did weld them? got me, but it saves some space!

i use a del sol dual core radiator in my hatch without any cooling issues whatsoever. And all I have is a 10' puller fan from autozone. Just do it..!! No need to modify anything.
