Default Question/Advice on radiator size?? Want to put intercooler and radiator side by side.Help

This is the intercooler I have it's out of a MX-6 it's practically brand new.I'm going to be hooking up my first turbo set up soon and my question to you is:I want to take out the big stock radiator out of my CRX Si and mount the a nw radiator in and mount it side by side next to this intercooler.Does anybody know what size radiator I might be able to use?? I see some on ebay,all aluminum for 92-95's and they definately look smaller,they look about half the size,would these work?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Maybe something like this:

It definately looks like it will give me more mounting room for my intercooler???

So u wanna mount the sidemount as a front mount.. And then put a half sized radiator next to it...

I'd like to see how creative ur gonna hafta get with ur pipe routing...

But anyway.. The side mount is fairly small in size and theoreticly if u wanted to mount it next to a half size rad... It would more than likely fit...

More than likely you wil have a tight fit trying to get both up there...when i had my SOHC kit on I had to go to a half rad and now with my LS I needed one too...here are a few pics JK traction bar with PCM 92+ civic rad

EG rad or neon rad will work.

Neon rad you will need a filler neck and cap.

your gonna have issues with the piping for sure.. plus the clearance betweeen the turbo and that fmic would be an issue to.

if your a fabricator it could be done, mostly the ports on that fmic have to moved to different locations.
