ill post a pic of mine soon. basically what we did is connected the radiator to the hoses and sat it in then we bent that bottom lip up(on the frame) and cut off the stock rad. mounts. So this made it sit lower. As for the hood we notched it out and made our own brackets for the rad to hold and sit in. About 3 hrs of work.


But buying a some traction bars that bolt in saves you so much more time and looks alot better.

 

The eg radiator is fine, Ive got one in my crx, fit in easy, connected hoses, made a metal bracket from the top to a bolt on the slam panel and angled the radiator back a little bit so it clears the hood. As I mentioned Ive only got one bracket and along with the hoses its held in there fine.

If you want pics just ask.

It must be the non-A/C version from a 95-99. IMO, this works out so much better than an EG radiator since it is shorter and clears the hood. It also comes very close to mounting in the stock location (corner mount bracket). Only thing you will need is an inline filler neck and a new radiator cap, since the Neon radiator has no filler on it. This is one of the best purchases I've made, it frees up a lot of space, especially in a cramped EF engine bay with a B-series and a turbo set-up.</TD></TR></TABLE>
well this is too late as i had already got an aluminium 1/2 size civic radiator

Because I have avid mounts and the front tranny mount wont line up OR work. So it was useless to me. Just letting ya know before u buy.,</TD></TR></TABLE>
well this does not matter because it is a b-series with hasport mounts

Well if the EG radiator turns out to be a pain, then you can try and sell it and get the Neon radiator. I have custom solid mounts that place the engine a bit more forward than usual mount kits. So as is, I already have space issues, but with the Neon radiator, it seems like I have more room now than before with an EG style radiator. I have an InlinePro manifold with a GT40 turbo and a 3" downpipe, no space issues at all. Good luck with your set up.

 

well i ordered the innovative mounts crossmember do u guys think i need a slim fan if i am going to be running a turbo

 

I'd say the more space you can free up in the engine bay, the better off you will be.

 

Before:


After:


JK Crosmember PCM EG half rad and 12" slim fan


Had to fab an upper mount but that was easy it has no clearance issues it does however sid the rad back a little further but there is still a decent amount of space and plenty of room for a turbo and DP
