I can try and post some pics, that might be the exact radiator I used as far as mounting it. I did a little bending and metal work on the bottom of the core support where the stock radiator mounts are. I found a hose, lower, at NAPA that fit great. The upper hose was a little more complicated. We welded on our own neck that I also bought from summit. I used a Samco hose and cut it to fit.
The mounting tabs you see on it are the ones I used, trimmed a little and bolted it in. That thing does not move.
Fans I used a 11in electric puller and an 8in pusher on the driver side. To do this you need to notch the bumper core support a bit. This was done becuase of my set-up. Otherwise two 11in electrics should fit fine.

Let me know if you have any other questions

Stratton.


you're referring to the civic comment correct?

I dont consider the drag radiators im looking at to be half of a radiator.

they might be ~24x12 but they are anywhere from 2 to 3 inch thick. Some are even dual pass radiators.

If you have any more pictures of it and its mounts that would be great!
I found a few looking through your threads but none focusing on just the radiator setup.

i like the bling bling factor of the other one....and if you mount it on the opposite side of the turbo(or slide it over some) it wont have as much heat soak if at all.....i plan on running mine on the passengerside of the opening and the IC will be on the driverside but set up front closer to the bumper support....have though about tilting the radiator out toward the front too...hmmm...

you must be talking about a half radiator?
the radiator im talking about will take up the whole space in front of where the stock radiator mounts.(a/c radiator was here)
