I have an 88 CRX si, with a b18 engine, OBX turbo manifold, t3/t04e 57 trim turbo, spearco 26x6x3 intercooler.
The problem i got, is the radiator not clearing my turbo outlet silicone connector/intercooler pipe. I thought i could fix earlier by buying a 92-95 civic radiator. It still doesn't clear. If i could move it forward a bit it would work, but the radiator is too tall for that. its already more forward than the stock mounting position would be so im running outta options. It is like 1 1/2 to 2 inches in the way. I need some kind of low-profile radiator. I don't mind if i gotta get some kinda special one, I just need this thing to work. Its making me so angry. its basically the last step i have to take to get this turbo b18 crx running and test driving it on boost.
If anyone knows of a place that sells custom or low profile radiators, small but efficient, then im sold. I need one ASAP.
Thanks,
Bryan

 

i have the same prob...im using the sol dual core radiator....i have the same exact set up as u (except its a 91 crx)...i think i might have to cut away @ some of the from surrounding the headlight to gimmie an xtra inch. this sucks

 

well, damn, At least i found someone with my same problem. hey any solution u come to do, let me know, how it works, I might end up doing what u do, and if i find something i'll let u know.
Thanks, Bryan

anyone else?

 

bump

 

exospeed sells a half size radiator that is also the right height for the crx. its bucks though. I'm going to cut the bottom of my factory rad support out and weld a much smaller one onto my z10 cross memeber to allow me to drop the radiator that I have (92 up pwr) so that it will clear the hood and still stand straight up.

 

o ****...i was so concerned with the horizontal space that i didnt even think about the vertical space...will the dual core sol radiator have enuff clearence for the hood to close on my crx? thanks

 

C&R makes a shorty that is ment to proplerly sit in the civic/crx.
exospeed.com has them.

 

Sell that OBX piece of poo and get an inline pro!

Mine fits like a glove, stock radiator and all.
