theres no room to stand it up strait. Plus its to tall to stand up. Its a radiator for a eg-ej not a ef.

The little bit of driving with the fan on all the time, the water-wetter and the hole cut bigger in the bumper I have not ran into anymore over heating.

then you might have to look in to buying the proper radiator for your cars performance level and style for your car.

The stock CRX radator will not fit in the stock location due to the manifold and turbo. The 92-95 civic is radiator I'm running is a 2 row full aulmunum radiator and many 89-91 crx and civics run this radiator in the same postition as I am.

The over heating issue is now fixed and now I'm saving up the cash to get her 100+ miles to atlanta, ga to get her tuned.

I fixed the over heating issue by
1. cutting the hole in the bummper larger.
2. running water-wetter and water only(no anit freeze)
3. removed the thermastat
4. wired fan to a switch (after the car starts to warm up I turn it on)
Problem solved untill winter when I'll reinstall the thermastat and run anti freeze.

Red Line Oil: Coolants and Others watch the demo and it will explane the no anti freeze.

Well I'm lazy, so when I flushed my radiator last week, I did about 35-40% antifreeze, and the rest waster with 8 capfulls of Water wetter. I was beating on it today and I only got the water up to 200 degrees (I overheated on the same run 2 weeks ago). Water wetter works pretty good. Also, not leaking all my coolant helps too.

Have you thought about dual radiators? Buy 2 smaller radiators and run one on each side of the engine (or wherever it will fit).

I bought a trailer for my crx today. Its a ugly homemade thing but it will be perfict to carry my car. All I need is a tag and its good to go. I'm going to hit it with a coat of flat black and fix the hanging wireing. I also have to fix the shorting trailer light wiring on our explore but thats no big deal.

Now I can finally get it to the tuners so I can drive the dang thing again.

90crxowner · 08-02-2008, 10:00 PM

$$$ and my dang injectors (they made it within 100miles from my house and were sent back to Cali. (I live in Georga)because the shipping lable got ripped.)

**PrimeTimeV6** · 08-02-2008, 10:37 PM
