the turbo is for a 92-00 honda civic but i was thinking if i got a samller radiator it would work with slight moding to the intercooler piping am i right or wrong please give me some advice or knowledge thanks guys

 

i have a b16a in my crx and it will fit those civics with b series motors

 

what type of manifold are you using if it is the ssautochrom you have to brace the hell out of it or it will crack on you. the turbo should fit fine. It's the manifold that determines if you need to go with a half rad or not. do a search in the forced induction section, for more clarification.

 

what do u mean brace the hell out of it and it is the one from ssautochrome

everyone bashes ssautochrome and i'm not saying they're the best, but about the cracking:
- cast iron is strong as ****, so it will hold up big turbos without being braced, but it also weighs a shitload and can't be made to flow as well as steel
- read up "the Bible of Boost" : Corky Bell's book, <U>Maximum Boost</U>. he tells ya to 'brace' the turbo by removing the weight of the turbo from the manifold. the book was writen way before ssautochrome existed. it is just smart to isolate the weight of the turbo from your stainless steel manifold, whether it is a ssauto, full-race or whatever brand.

ssautochrome mani's are not cast iron.. well not the ones they sell on ebay...

 

just get a hf or a cx exaust manifold instead...

 

yeh, i know that ssautochrome's mani's are not cast iron. i was making statements about the difference between cast iron and stainless steel turbo manifolds.
of course ssauto's manifolds aren't cast iron: their name is SS (Stainless Steel) Auto Chrome
