I'm looking to buy an oem smaller sized radiator (B/c of cost-effectiveness) to have a little more room for my turbo setup. I've heard that some EG radiators will work, however they're 13.75 inches tall, roughly an inch taller than the stock EF radiator. I have a cf hood so I don't want to hack it up in order for the radiator to fit. I also heard some rumors that oem 1st gen Neon radiators will fit, are any of you running these? Btw, tried to look up the dimensions for the Neon radiator, but haven' t had any luck.

 

im actually going to be installing an eg radiator after my swap today... im guessing mines going to have that "gangsta" lean lol... but im going to see what i can do to help fix that

Yeah, I'm unsure of the whole Gangsta lean look, guess I'm just uptight . Can some of you guys post pics of your EG radiator setup? I'd like to see how far they need to be tilted in order to clear the hood.

 

im going to see if theres some way i can hack the stock radiator supports off and build some type of custom setup to sit the radiator lower in the engine bay... most likely itll be all ghetto looking but ill post a pic later tonight if i finish it

if you are going the eg route, i believe 96+ radiators are the same. A 99-00 si radiator bolted right into my 92 civic, it is thick and it only cost $78 (brand new modine)

 

I went the eg radiator route, and I perosnally think it looks horrible, and because it doesn't sit properly on the bracket, you have to pad the underside to make sure it doesn't rub a hole in the end tank, if you have the stock crossmember.

 

the only way to make it sit lower is if you use an aftermarket cross member . It leans cause the stock crossmember doesent let go down any futher so you tilt it back to clear the hood

 

i did the gangsta lean with an eg rad.

 

I plan on getting a oe replacement dual core del sol radiator,,then modding the crossmember so it sits low..Ive seen these go for like $15 on ebay brand new ..And then Ill run a 10" or 12" slim fan..Not sure what size yet..

 

I'm still set on finding a better fit oem radiator, unfortunately there aren't many or any dual core square radiators only 12 inches tall. I'll let you guys know if I find one, if not I guess I'll be sportin the EG gangsta lean. Post some pics of yours if you get a chance

 

I am using an EG radiator similar to this one:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/92-93-94-95...wItem

I have the lower rad support cut out. It's a boxed in rail and cut out a portion of it (roughly lowers the rad by 1") and have a slight gangsta lean, but nothing too serious. Using the stock rad hoses and stock fan/shroud.

I'll try to post a pic later.

 

any pix yet

Rocking a full size dual core autozone rad. It fits fine with my setup and keeps my car cool regardless of how hot it gets.

mines actaully a full-race EF radiator and i think the other guy's is too.

its tall but you can modify it to fit. aluminum is where its at

 

Why not rock the delsol rad?

 

Here's my gangsta lean EG radiator. The radiator hoses have those metal runing through them which make them pretty stiff and doesn't flex or move my radiator at all. I found a way to sit the radiator on the crossmember also so it doesn't move around.

WOW, That's pretty cheap for an aluminum radiator.

 

i welded a tab to my lcon traction bar, and drilled two holes to fit the eg rad tabs, droped in radator and fits like oem,

 

Mine has the EG radiator in it currently but the guy I bought it from mounted the thing backwards and it is just jammed in there pretty much. It looks really janky and ghetto.
