92-95 i the radiator you want. Have you already turboed the ZC? If not, how do you know the full radiator won't work?

full rads + turbo + EF = no

just aint enough room between the engine and the rad. unless u got like a pinner *** t28

i use the little rad from full race. http://members.shaw.ca/estangleis/crx/IMG_1167.jpg

i used half rads from other hondas and it was just a pain in the ******* *** to get em to work.. cutting hood, cutting x member..

An early 90s SOHC Neon rad works as well. Run a search for Neon Radiator. There are some good topics and pics on it.

92-95 civic rad is too tall and you have to lean it back. Unless you're running a big turbo, you can run with a full rad. Plenty of local guys here do it. Bulletproof setup is the Full-Race half size w/ their front xmember. There are other options as well. I'm pretty sure I've heard of front crossmembers with mounts for 92-95 Civic half radiators and what not.

Innovative mounts makes a nice crossmember that excepts the 92-95 radiator
