Default 1st gen B16a in CRX, radiator

Did a seach, but didn't find what i was looking for. I'd like to use a B16 del sol radiator with this swap for the extra room around the header. What needs to be done to install this radiator?

not happening in this lifetime ... the stock radiator just buries under the entire front nose ... you'll find it easier to use the stock radiator or really modified 88+crx.

many headers clear the radiator thoguh, we fit a Toda one with hasport kit ... need to take off all exhasut studs from head thoguh.

you can position it in there but your hood won't close your radiator shouldn't be a clearance issue for a header rather you crossmember won't work

I read this in the ef forum (never tried it). Get an aftermaket cross member. I've heard of one dude tilting it towards the motor to clear the hood.

I have a DA9 radiator (full size aluminum dual core) in my 88 hatch. It dropped right in.
Just use a DA radiator if you plan to stay all motor.
