Civic race rads for starlets?

[party paul]

Right thought i would start this thread as civic rads look great on starlets and you can work on the turbo and manifold area with ease ! so do you just make them fit ? or is there a kit as in rad mounts and bolts that you can buy ? also any particular civic rad that is best ?

looking into one myself, theres a mounting kit you can buy and i think the bottom pipes doesnt line up so has to be rewelded not 100% on it tho

Tuning delelopments do a kit with a fitting bracket and fan. Or you can make you own

It's pretty handy to make the mounts yourself I got my top bracket off a civic bolts were your original plate the bottom you basically just need a 2 little brackets with 2 holes each there's should be holes there already for the bolts and all ..oh you need to get rid of the original lower rad mounts then just cut the original fan to size an cable tie it on

I just made brackets for the top, It just sits on the old rad mount and held tight at the top, you cant go wrong,
I use a 10" slimline fan they work good and dont get in the way !

If you are going for a zisco kit you will need the bottam pipe moved over as your rad hose will hit the external wastegate!!! i have to cut mine off and reweld it on the other side

yeah i like the idea of the fitting kit and will look into the tuning devlopments set up ! as for the hoses can u not just get diffarent hoses to bend and fit ? also lots of civic rads on ebay for about 70 quid ? any one used one ? and r they any good ?

if you can get a tripple core civic radiator. you may run into cooling issues with the dual core unless you have a very high cfm fan! ebay one's are fine..they will do the job.
