So here's the scoop,

I've got an 89' CRX that i've swapped a B18 LS into. It's receiving a turbocharger and the works, stock motor.

I need a half-size radiator. That, and my current full-size original radiator leaks.

Any suggestions? I'd prefer a radiator that's aluminum, and that i don't have to ghetto-lean for it to fit right.

Anyone rocking a custom radiator? How much do those run?

thanks,
richard

95-99 Neon non A/C radiator. It fits amazingly well. You will need to also purchase an in-line water filler neck along with a radiator cap.

 

i use the EG half rad, but i also use it in conjunction with my innovative crossmember that has tabs for it.

 

I am curious abou this as well. I am looking for an aluminum half radiator too. I heard the EG radiators were too tall? Can anyone varify this? Also where can you buy a aluminum half radiator for a CRX? I know fluidyne has them but there the exact same price as the full radiators which I personally think is BS! Any help??

 

Go with the NEON radiaotor mentioned above or get a crossmember that allows you to correctly use an EG radiator. That's pretty much your only two options unless you want to pay $$$$

I forgot to mention that I have the Z10 Front Traction bar/crossmember so I can use a EG radiator. Where can I pick up one of those in aluminum for cheap?

 

I'm not sure if the Z10 allows you to use an EG or not. I know the LSD and innovative ones do. If not you could probably fab up some tabs to make it work pretty easily. You can get a dual core OEM eg radiator from a Del Sol vtec or get on ebay and get an aluminum radiator off of there.

 

Ebay has a lot of half radiators for 92' hondas and up.. they only have a couple for 88 -91 .. but its worth a browse

check your local junk yards, they have eg ones which you can easily fab up to make work

 

Ya the Z10 does allow me to use an EG one. Would you guys trust a no name aluminum one off of Ebay?

 

I would get a good one like fluidline or koyo. There's no use in shitting around with the functionality of a motor.

 

i had an ebay aluminum one for 2 years never had a problem.

 

Yeah, there was just a recent post about the ebay radiators. It's such a simple thing, it's hard to screw up. Ebay radiator would be fine IMO.

 

does the neon half size radiator bolt right on? what do I need to make it work?

oh ya and what year do those come out of?

 

We sell EG Dual core radiators for $50, great quality, used them on a turbo car and never had an issue. They will not just bolt into a crx chassis, you need to make brackets for the bottom and the top.

Not the best picture of the radiator, but I think you can see the fitment. It's a 95-99 Neon NON-A/C (&lt;--very important).
