Hi, I am at the end of rebuilding a 90 CRX to run in auto-x and bought a Koyo Radiator part#1945 and it does not fit. Now I've talked to the store I got it from and they say that they have sold four others this year with no complaints. I call Koyo and they have never heard of that radiator not fitting, but my hits the front frame support and the car has never been in a wreak. Koyo said it should drop right in just like the oem radiator. I'm working on my car with a guy that is a Honda-tech for over 25 years, so please don't say (like the koyo and store people did) your putting it in wrong. I really just want to know if anyone has this radiator and if it really just dropped in like they say it should. Also how about Fluidyne does theirs drop in?? or any other aftermarket radiator for that matter? Please send in a couple Pic's if you have them thanks guys.

 

i bought a koyo aluminum radiator for my CRX...

mount locations were off a little.


with modification, anything is possible.

 

fluidyne over here..

 

Thanks for the pictures and the answers. I do have another question though. Did either of you guys have to cut the Front Frame support on your CRX??? STREETWERKZ, did you have to relocate the top and bottom mounts on the Radiator or the car??? Mine looks like it is close but the points that the fans bolt to and the A/C condenser fan mounts hit my frame. Then in the front bottom of were the radiator sits it hits the sheet metal. It also looks like it will rub on the front top as well were the hood latch it. So, since I've got a Koyo I guess I would like to get it to fit, but don't want to cut the frame. Please, help thanks.

Onepoint6i, your Fluidyne looks good but it doesn't look like you still have the stock front frame support in your CRX??? If so do you have to do any of the questions I asked STREETWERKZ?? Thanks again everyone for all the help.

 

i did have to cut about a half inch of the body, all the way across.

also had to cut a few of the fan shroud mounts down.

just keep test fitting, and see where youneed to grind and/or cut.
