what other radiators bolt in to a 91 crx si w/b16 , does the del sol fit without any problems ? i have a damn hole in mine that i found today.

 

a 92 to 95 civic rad will fit.

 

so a 92-95 si radiator should fit fine, how much difference is size is it ?

 

It's half size, but it won't bolt in... the radiator is aobut 2-3" taller than factory, so it has to be tilted back or custom mounted ot the crossmember, OR buy an aftermarket x-member like the Z-10, or others...

HTH

 

Yeah... it's taller by quite a bit.. It might be more trouble than it worth, but I have one in my H/B.

What I did was moved my battery to the trunk, tilted the rad back and made a simple little bracket that hooks onto the top of the rad.. Oh.. another thing is you'll have to get another fan cause the original one is too wide. The one I'm using is off a Dodge Caravan and it works great... Yeah.. you'll have to make little brackets to bolt the fan to the rad..

The lower rad supports... I had to get another set off some car... Cause the stock ones is too far apart. The rad has to sit a little further up or else the lower rad hose won't clear the front crossmember. Try not to get an auto one.. cause the fittings kind of get in the way.

If you're running a DOHC motor.. It'll be a little better and easier to make the upper rad hose fit... If not.. The SOHC will be very hard and tight to make it fit.. it's almost forced on.

I'll see if I have time to take a pic and post it up. Then you'll be able to see how it looks.

After all that and if you're wondering why I would be crazy enough to do all that modifying... Just think... BOOST.

 

I'm boosted with a stock radiator... THere's not ALOT of room, but it fits.

 

any plans for a front mount IC?

 

thanks guys, i just got the stock one for now, and i am going to get the del sol one once i get the z10 kit, or another x member.

I use a FLUIDYNE radiator in my 91 civic.....ooooooo, ahhhhhh!

 

whats the point in a half size radiator??
wouldnt that be worse for cooling?

Supposedly the half-sized once are much more efficient, so their size gets canceled out.

 

You can use your stock radiator.
I've seen b16 6th gen civics, with half the size radiator. (thier stock radiator)

 

Get a C&R. Everything else is CRAP!
