well today my main seal decided to give and dumped a couple quarts of oil on my driveway so...... i installed an old civic radiator 13" that i bought new, and a free trans cooler (thats why its beat up), and mounted the front mount, and a rather small air pump under the hood.

then tom. im goin to fix the main seal. lol i should have fixed the problem before doing the other ****.

but the trans cooler is only mounted temporarly untill i get some straps for it and i still have to mount the radiator fan.

this is the only pic im posting for now.

LOL, small air pump. Let me know how your coolant temps are. You're probably going to want to at least run dual core half radiator. That single core probably won't be able to keep up.

Hmmm, cut away the bumper did you? That just seems like a scary idea to me.

if you hit someone or something your engine is f'ed. lemme know how the transcooler is. im thinking of getting one

i hooked the trans cooler up directly. so its not hooked up to the radiator anymore. and yai cut the hell out of that bumper. but i never had an accident and plan on keepin it that way. lol

lol i sure hope you dont hit anyone. damn i hope i never hit anyone. but seems like people in civics have a target on them now-a-days

Rep Power: 229

lmao no. im saying all the people who post threads on here of someone hitting theyre car. it seems like every car on the rod wants to nail a civic.

sorry to thread jack, but hows that OBX manifold workin for ya? I was thinkin about gettin one to start my own turbo project

as you see you need a new radiator. i got one for the older civics 91-00 and custom mounted it. you need a slim fan (20$ online). need to modify the center brace behind the radiator. i cut it and am going to weld it after the down pipe is made. if you want to go this route, you cant be scared to cut ur car up a little. but if you want to be safe, but spend more money, get the dezod manifold or the hks t25 manifold and run a t25.

I'd love to go turbo, but living in southern california with all the emission laws and what not... Damn I wouldn't be able to pass the smog test.

HLC, the obx manifold obviously has clearance issues from what you can see...and the turbo is bottom mounted. also beware of clearance issues with the HKS turbo manifold. thats the one i had and the turbo for it is front mounted. the turbo will not fit in your engine bay unless you remove your fans and radiator and maybe run a bottom half radiator. it needs about 2 or so more inches of clearance towards the front of the vehicle so it will not even fit in there because your fan is in the way.

I don't think i would cut my front core support

 
Rep Power: 232

lol i cut it but its gonna be welded back together. and you can probably run the hks manifold if you get the small radiator.
