I used one from an eg civic on my 88 hatchback. I was using traction bars instead of the regular front crossmember. I had to cut both my hood and my front radiator support. Actually had to cut the stock radiator holder out of the support and basically make room for the rad. Or you could just lean it back but that looks kinda ghetto. Sorry no pics.

i've heard of people using the half size rad for their setup, but only if you have an aftermarket xmember. All I think is required is a fabricated mounting bracket like the EG's have. Its especially functional with a turbo sitting tidy next to.

It fits nice and tidy under my hood

Thats not a Half radiator,it's more like a 3/4 radiator,and it's stock on all HF's,not just 88'


Big picture warning
