Whats up people...its been a while since ive posted in here. Anyway i just ordered a jimfab x-member and im looking to get a new radiator too. Fluidyne is a little cheaper, but not enough to warrant me choosing it over koyo. The koyo is 53mm thick and if i remember correctly i think that the fluidyne is 36-38 or something. Im also looking to get a new lower degree thermostat and a new radiator cap...what are your suggestions for both? And if any of you know of a better or cheaper radiator(besides stock)...let me know. OK heres my stats. Its a 90 crx with a b18a(HASport billets), custom turbo kit with revhard mani and t3/to4e, and the jimfab bar. Theres alot more but i just named the things that relate top the radiator because if space and everything. Thanks

PS-where is the cheapest place to buy all this ****?

If you have a turbo I would get a half sized radiator. C&R makes one that bolts right in.

As for themostat Autozone sells some low temp ones for like $11.

For radiator cap Spoon makes the highest pressure one at 1.35bar and is about $30. Some people say the extra pressure will make your hoses blow out or some crap but I've had mine for months and its been fne. I have an all-metal CSF radator with new hoses and band clamps on those hoses instead of that stock crap.

 

I've got a Koyo and really like it. It's very thick which may be a problem if you have a turbo. Other than that, Its my top choice

Check out the High Performance All-Metal radiator. Its twice as thick as the stock unit, and still fits in the factory location. If it will fit in front of your turbo, I would definately get this.

 

Sorry i forgot to mention that im getting a eg rad. The car is already turbo'd...i just wanted more room up there. Thanks for the link and info....keep it coming.

i have a half size koyo radiator and flexalite slim fan. i have about 5.5 inches clearance in front of the#4 runner, if that gives you any idea how much room you would have if you kept a full sized one

Is this half size like the EG one is? Does it bolt right in? If so where can you get that?

 

I think im just going to get the koyo. C&R's are nice but they are just too damn expensive. Thanks for all the help.

sorry its the EG one and i have a place racing crossmember to fit it

 

u dont need a cross member. U just have to take out ur rad support. then it will fit fine.
