hey everyone. i searched and havnt really found anything good, and with picture on step by step on how to get a eg rad to fit in a ef. i dont want the gangstah lean either i am not scared to cut and grind to get it to fit good and snug. im working with a greddy turbo manifold and a nice garret turbo setup. so i cant use my stock dual core griffin aluminum radiator anymore which sucks but i like this turbo setup much better, so once again is anyone have any pics of how they got the eg rad to fit snug in the ef with out grinding or cutting the hood atleast anything else im down for to make it fit snug . PLEASE can someone HELP ME, i need to get this new project up and runing, thanks in advanced guys

theres two tabs at the bottom of the radiator support for the radiator mounts/bushings, cut one and move it over and reweld it, then thats the bottom part done, then go to lowes buy a piece of alluminum and make your own top holder.

 

still sits to high, so i am now doing what ive read, im cutting the bottom rad suport and making is sit lower and then make new bottom brackets and then the top ill still make a nice bracket

DOES ANYONE HAVE PICTURES????

 

Buy traction bars and your eg rad will fit.

 

i have the newest EDT traction bar so what else?

 

Well, if you have the etd bar buy their eg radiator mount brackets. You won't have to lean the radiator at all.

 

what is etd'd website? the one i googled is no longer in use

 

Trim the underside of your hood.

 

Get a traction bar setup, make custom lower rad mounts that sit fairly low, and make a new top mout that leans the radiator back a bit.

not really a stock EF, but its an idea

 

anyone else have any info on this??? i hit up etdracing.com and they said that the brackets wont work? i dont understand if its made to fit a half rad why woudlnt it fit? dude said its really snug? does anyone have this bar and brackets with a half rad in thier eg? picture would be awsome, someone please help me i need to get this turbo project up and ruining befor summer is over

 

Check out the Best Traction Bar thread. I think there is a pic of a eg rad in a ef using the same traction bar as you have. I think its in the last couple of pages.

 

i'm using the stock crossmember setup. just get the radiator to fit snug on the bottom, then lean it back so you can close the hood. upper rad hose will need to be cut

 

thanks demonkid but as stated i want it to look clean and no gangstah lean to have the hood close lol, thanks neways. anyone else?

 

then you'll need to cut and fab your crossmember bar. then box it back up for strenth this way you can drop the rad down about 2 3/4 inches

i think once i put my innovative traction bar, i'll be running a dual core crx rad.

 

bump anyone else please help pics would be awsome

 

Here are some pics of my set-up. Half sized eg radiator on an etd traction bar with their radiator mounts. Easily clears my hood.

 

BUMP TTT anyone else??

 

heres my half rad setup. Explicit speed racing traction bars, w/ custom brackets and mishimoto half rad.

 

its not a ef but a DA. made 2 brackets for the bottom mounts and the same for the top. had to push it out about half inch from the rad support becuase it was hitting the hood but now it sits tight and clears
