Yep. I just clamped it down as normal. it’s a bit larger but nothing to really worry about. I only sued 1 clamp on each end.
i’m running a halfwide (stock civic) radiator in my EG hatch with a gsr swap… no cooling issues… granted its my race car
i’ve got a FAL radiator fan for halfwide civic radiator i wanna use in my DA with a civic halfwide radiator so i have clearance for my HMT turbo setup… i’ll post pics when its done…
thanks Tchleung for the links and pics… this save me from buying a waste gate
oh… and anyone concerned about the hose size issues… i’m going to go buy some hoses for the b16 delsol they should fit the radiator perfect and on the engine as well (i’ve got b16a head on b18c1 block)
What did you use to mount the radiator on the bottom? Let me know man… looks great.
I forgot about this, sorry man, this is how i did it too, maybe you have it too far over on the drivers side, try moving it over towards the passenger side some more so the middle of the radiator sits on the mounting spot on the driver side
Can you give me a few specs on the actual little bracket on bottom? I used uhm, like this strap shit that has holes in it. I took about ohhh… 14" of it folded it over and made the bracket. Let me know what you used.
lol Well honestly you can use any decently strong metal piece. I used that metal strap from my spare keyless entry mounting kit. Anything would work. As you can see, it’s rpetty ghetto. I plan to make it nicer and better soon.
I wrapped mine in electrical tap, Im going to get some sheet metal screws and attach it to the core support. It’s resting on the lower mount for the stock radiator with a small piece of rubber to cushion. For the top, Im using a bracket from a del Sol VTEC.
I rule in MSpaint…
Just a thought, I was thinking maybe you used something wicked badass… like acutally bending metal to make a bracket…
Oh you meant for the top? I had a spare piece of aluminum and yes I bent that accordingly and drilled holes
Actually I was referring to the bottom. But, it doenst look tooo bad.
Hehe ya, Function over fashion!!!
So, would you be interested in making me one and sending it to me? LOL.
About your hoses, you say you used just one clamp, are you talking about the screwing clamps or the original clamps that came with the car? This is my biggest dilema, I’ve thought about buying reducers but if there isnt a need, I wont.
