when turboing our da’s will it be possible to keep the full radiator or will i have to go with one of those small half sized radiator?
depends on manifold
ssac twisted ram manifold. (yes i know ssac, so what its my car not yours)
its been covered yes you can use a haft rad with no probs
im not asking if i can use a half radiator i know i can, im asking if i can retain my factory one without any problem?
like old boy up top said…depends on your setup. The manifold and the size of the turbo. I just bought a t70 and I was forced to install my half size civic radiator. Matter a fact I installed it yesterday. wasnt that hard. Took me 1 1/2 hrs and I did it with a fractured elbow. Ill shoot some pics when it stops raining.
I ran a full sized one. ERL Pro Manifold and t3 turbo. I just had the downpipe facing the drivers side. Shaved about 1cm off the block and it fit. It was a tight squeeze but it fit. Even ran 2 10" slim fans. This was using a crx radiator. It’s a little slimmer.
BTW, this is B18a1sedan…I’m on a friends computer.
i will be runing a t3 on the ssac twisted ram manifold. that will be my setup.
im having overheating issue with my half rad. i kept my stock fan though, and i think this is due to the lack of air going through the duct (FMIC taking all the place…)
Are you using a dual core half sized? Also, the stock fan only flows like 400cfm or something close to that. The ones I were running were like 1100cfm each “I think”.
i have a half sized in mine w/ FAL fan, cools better than full size for me. 
im also using my many car transfered SSAC mani.
where u guys finding that new manifoldfor b series, i only see it for D
I have the twisted ram manifold, and there is no way you will get it to fit with a full size radiator. This is because of where the wastegate sits.
usmc_da9 go to ebay. probaly get one for like $135
da1spaz ok thanx
I have an SFP manifold and a T4/04, kept the full radiator. I did put a FAN on the outside to get things to fit.
