log manifolds work great with the stock radiator. but ifyou upgrade to the 92 up civic (or any half size radiator) you should use a tubular manifold.

Fits with stock radiator, I'd go do some measuring if I were you. There is a lot less room than you think.

you honestly can't beat the price for a Lovefab manifold and the craftmanship...pretty much can do what you are looking for. go look for "tinker_128" under member search.

or do a search for "lovefab" in the forced induction section.

I have a log manifold and there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell of using the stock radiator. However if I was externally wastegated I could have designed it a little different and probably pulled off using the stock rad.

on my old setup i was running a b16 with a drag manifold, t3t4, tial 35mm wastegate, and a stock radiator. the only problem i had was that the top of the wastegate would hit my hood. so we plasma cut a peice off of the hood and had to shave down the top of the wastegate.

but i had no problems at all with the stock radiator fitting.

another one of my buddies has a b16 with a greddy kit with the internal wastegate and he is still using his stock radiator too.

I used a F-Max and now an Inline Pro successfully. The Inline Pro is a BEAUTIFU:L piece. Buy it, You'll be happy. Just have to get a slimline fan or two.

Plenty of room for a stock radiator, as you can see. When the compressor is rotated for an air/air intercooler setup, it's even more room. We're even able to squeak a "reasonable" 3" downpipe in there with a JimFab bar setup.

trust me just get a 92-95 half radiator for like $100 and then get the lovefab mani that way if you ever want to get a bigger turbo like a 60-1 you wont ever have to worry about the radiator again.

Or get a old first gen civic rad, around 1978. It fits way better than the 92-95 rad
