My buddy has a 90 CRX si with a b16a in it. We are in the process of putting on a modified dragIII turbo kit, and the problem we're having is getting the radiator to fit. The piping is in the way on the right side, so we picked up a del sol vtec radiator. The problem is that it is still too tall: the cross-member is in the way. Anyone know a solution to this problem?

 

well, Place racing makes a front crossmember that accepts the 92-95 radiators... And I'd personally suggest the Z10 crossmember kit... it looks like a great product, and allows on an option to be setup for a 92-95 radiator as well.

 

or hcp mounts but thats a mess if motor is in car already. places it way back in bay for tons of turbo room

 

it possible to bang out front crossmember to fit radiator?

 

It would be easier to notch the crossmember where the radiator hits. I have seen it done on one CRX. Then create new mounts or move and weld the old ones.

 

Turbo kit worth having?
Such as..................?
And don't tell me Vortech...............way too rich for my budget

 

custom, then everything fits like you want it.

 

sell the del sol rad and pick up yourself a NEON half rad, (no AC)
trust me youll thank yourself!

 

Haha, you tell em Giuseppe.

 

Got any pics? I am very curious.....

I don't know if I can bring myself to disrespect my CRX with domestic parts.

 

yeah lol, this mod was originated by Jared himself.
i take no credit in the finding.! im the copy cat here.!
i guess we have one american and one canadian with this mod

Jared had a few kick *** picks of his setup, IM him about it,

u need a filler neck spliced into the upper rad hose, because the neon rad doesnt have one. neon rad no A/C..MT or AT..

 

need i say more..


nippon denso makes the honda and neon rad so dont fell bad,
youre not putting a domestic made product on your car.!

there is no picture there man. I would like to see it though...

 

Good pic. How does the radiator mount?? I can't really see from the pic.

 

I used the stock upper left mount and the stock lower left mount. I can't believe it fit so well. I just found one in a junkyard once, got it on a whim, and I've started a trend. A good friend of mine, now Guiseppe and another guy here on the forum.

 

Interesting...what year Neon was it off of?

 

Off the original body style, up to 99 I think.

 

ah well still the first canadian. , it mounts beautifully..

i have a few pics too, but its not with a digi, so i have to get the
roll developed and scanned..

I'm really interested on the pictures!!!! This is Great! can someone confirm the Neon car specs? 99 Neon Half Radiator without A/C?

 

Here dude, check out this link.

I layed it all out in this post. Also check out my site, it's got some pics that may or may not help. My digi-cam sucks so be warned.

 

I saw the thread Speed PHreak. Thanks for the help, but I'm really interested on the Neon setup. I was going to do the 92-95 del sol dual core radiator setup, but realize that it would be more damaging modifications for it to work, If the Neo setup will definitely work then I'll go for this one! anyone confirm the neon year and specs pls thanks.

 

I started this Neon radiator stuff, so I'll confirm your specs. Pre 99(old body style, i think that was the last year. has to be without a/c and tranny type does not matter.

 

^^

 

FYI, It'll be easier to search 95 neons for the smaller radiator. As for the domestic part on the Honda....wanna run that ****?

 

read this whole thread....the radiator is made by the same company that makes honda radiators
