Ok. Heres my problem, I have a 90 civic std (the model below the dx) and i have a full radiator that leaks like theres no tomm. I have a 95 ls motor in it and eventually I want to go turbo (b4 summer). So i guess my question is what year/make/model radiator do people use to do this sort of thing. I know the radiator is much samller when people go turbo because of the space problem (the turbo getting in the way), I just want to know where to get it, and how they hook it up, support wise? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Pics would be good to.

thanks
chad

 

do a search, this has been covered more times than i can remember.

 

5th gen civic rads work with some modification... If you get a aftermarket cross member some have adapters to fit a 5th gen rad...

 

so the 5g radiators are the shorter ones like in this pic
if so thanks if not what radiator did this come out of

 

people use 92+ civic rad. but you have to cut your hood a little for the cap of the rad. i think that pic above they must have a different cross member. that allows the rad to sit much lower. my friend has a H22 crossmember in his crx and it allows the Rad. to sit much lower. if he does not have a differnt Xmember they he cut his or thats not a 92-00 rad in that car.
so yes you can use a 92+ Rad . you will have to cut your hood [framing] a little and maybe a hole in your Xmember. and make one Rad. support. its pretty easy really. you can do it.

 

thanks so much for the info it helped out alot im gonna pick one up tomm. and hopefully be up and running cool for the first time ever in a honda yay
