ok. so I bought this EG 1/2 radiator on ebay. Its got these 2 copper "pipes" stickin out at teh bottom of it, I heard they are for an auto tranny on an eg or somethin. can I cut em off? cuz theyre in the way and wont let the radiator sit past the radiator (this is in my a crx)

 

yes, you can cut them off .

 

Dont they just unscrew, the ones on mine did...

 

yes they unscrew, if it's a manual you don't need them

 

on my koyo rad it had those and i just unskrewed them and plug them

 

does coolant flow threw them? what are they for?

 

damnit! read the thread. There for an auto trans. Coolent goes thru them to cool the auto trans!

Actually i believe ATF flows through it to cool the ATF down. GAAAAAWWWD! (reminds me of napolean dynamite,lol)

not only did he give me an attitude but he was wrong sweet

 

any links to the ebay auction? i wanna see if they have anymore.

 

i have one for sale. And i was thinking about maybe using those two fitting for the water lines for a turbo

although it was just an idea so Please don't flame.

Also if you cut them off use something good to fill them in. I used this "instant gas tank/radiator fix" thing. Its hard enough for me, and its held for 2 months.

 

You dont have to fill the in. They wont leak coolant, I promise.

 

ok....mine leaked even after i had the little caps on them, and i electrical taped the caps on.

 

The radiator must have been leaking then. Those two holes are for the trans cooler they are sealed off from coolant. I always cut them off when I put a radiator in a car with a manual trans. I have never seen them leak.

 

ok, i guess mine was a leaky radiator anyways.

In that case don't buy from http://www.radiators.com they said to just cap them off and it'll be fine. But i guess i was an exception

 

Cool then cap them off. I was just trying to save people some time and effort.

here you go foo. it is an AWESOME radiator. I leave it idling for like 30min and it never begins to get hot. my old EG dx half radiator would allow the car to heat up after 5min of idling. at $49 ,you cant go wrong .

heres a link. hes got like 4 of em on there for sale

if they are for ATF on auto trans cars can you use them for oil (oil cooler) on a manual trans car? just a thought?

 

i thought of that too but dont know if itd work very well cuz im sure the temps on a hard driven manual tranny are way higher than an auto tranny that normally some mom drives. it could help im sure but itd prob be better to get one of those cool external ones. blingbling

 

manual trans fluid isnt pumped around on a honda. its just sloshes around in the case from the gears. so, you cannot run a cooler for a manual honda trans

 

What crossmember are you using for that radiator?

 

yeah, it looks like a NICE piece.......and the price is RIGHT
