i read the post obout the neon radiator in the crx, where did you guys get yours? none of the parts stores around even have a listing on one like that. all they list is the larger one for ac. I know because i work at a parts store and personally spent a long time pawing thru the books looking. hate to go dealership route. any ideas? also, where did you get rad cap on the hose setup?

 

hey man,
I work at an autoparts store too gotta love those discounts
anyways, if you dont have an answer my tomorrow evening IM me, ill look it up on the computer there tomorrow if i remember

 

I found one online from dodge but its $295. I would rather make my crossmember fit the 92 up rad than spend that much. yea look and seeif youcan getit thansk. (can't typegoood with cats on muy keyboard!)

As for mounting it, the neon radiator has 2 nubs at the top in which a bracket attaches to and bolts to the front frame rail.

http://www.deyemeracing.com sells aluminum radiator brackets with an aluminum bolt. These should work perfectly for you guys. They look like this:



Damn my car is dirty.

 

thats a good link. they have several on carparts. any ideas on the inline rad cap setup? thanks.

 

dude that's the kind of pic i'm looking for....do you have a pic of the whole rad/engine bay?

 

Go to http://www.radiatorexpress.com they got radiators really cheap.

I don't have the small no AC radiator, just the full size one. I can take whatever pics you need, just let me know. The small and big neon radiators share the same mounting styles.

 

What is the advantage to this setup? I know the stock ones have plastic endtanks that crack. I got a full metal one for $130. But if the neon one is smaller that maybe worth looking into.

 

radiatorsexpress doesn't carry the right one. But they do have the mexi-built radiator for cheaper than I've ever seen. Dammit now I gotta get one. You suck!

Several cars use an inline setup too. I think the 1G talon does, but I'm to lazy to go check mine.


A place on ebay has 'em I think. I got my stock replacement there for $100 shipped w/ lifetime warentee.

So why use a neon radiator?

 

to have more room for my turbo and hopefully my ac

 

just use EG rad dude....

 

neon radiator clears better then eg, eg doesn't clear hood because of crossmember. would take modification to fit it.

 

what year neon will fit 88-91 crx's?

 

95-99 stick no ac.

 

i read that the tranny type doesnt matter. just 99 and down, with no a/c.

Here is some pictures of my 95 neon radiator that I got for $28 at a local yard. I modified the filler neck to fit and this thing works great and allows alot of room. This radiator is alittle wider then the civic but shorter too. Also the thickness is exactly the same. As for fitment, there is 2 holes on the bottom frame and I just put a zip tie through that and on to my radiator. Holds it down real good and for the top, I used one of my stock radiator mounting brackets. My digital camera sucks.
