Default I wanna run a full race manifold on my 4gen but my radiator...

I wanna run a full race manifold on my 4gen but my radiator is too big. I see alot of these civics running the half ones. Can i use a civic radiator and still not over heat?

I assume you are getting rid of your a/c. So you might want to do what i did.



Get slimline fans and place them where your a/c condensor used to be. Then just wire your fans opposite of how they were wired (since your fans are on the opposite side now). That should clear up about 2-4 inches of space for you.



Theres a little pic of the room i have to work with.

there is a h22a powered eg civic here in town built by mike maggoire at SRD ( http://www.superiorracing.com ) , he runs a MaxRev manifold... anyway he is running the fluidyne radiator for his civic, with no problems. to recap, eg+h22a+turbo+civic raditor = running fine.

I believe my water temps were around 188-190ish driving around the city. Intake temps however i cant remember off the top of my head, i want to say in the upper green level. Let me know what you are hitting and i'll let you know if that sounds about right.
