Converting a Automatic Radiator to a Manual
1995 integra GSR
I just spent my whole day dealing with getting a new radiator, and when i get home and am ready to slide in the new one....what do i find? The company i bought it from, sold me a radiator for an automatic. It has 2 copper connectors on the bottom, for the ATF, but i don't need those.
Could I simply get a pressure hose and pressure clamps, and link the 2 atf-in/out together?
Would this affect the car performance wise at all?
and lastly, would the pressure buildup in the GSR's radiators that seems pretty common, be a concern for me?
thanks all!!!

if you really need to install go ahead no harm done...
no need to plug...
and the pressure build up is controlled by the radiator cap...

here is what you do.... nothing.
Don't put anything in where the ATF goes and nothing will come out.
Most aftermarket replacements have atf hook ups as well

sweet thanks for the advice....its working like a champ....and only took me 2 hours to do (i took my time)
side note...when i was ratcheting on the brackets that hold the radiator when it wobbles, i over tightened one and the screw broke, so now the radiator is being held in the center, the right side, but the left side(passenger) is free....will that affect anything? and if yes, how would i get the broken screw out of the body?

out of curiosity, how much did you pay for the radiator?
