OK, heres the deal. I am finally getting my car pieced back together and in favor of the way i decided to run my inter-cooler piping i ditched the stock radiator. The amount of room i was left with between piping is 27" in length across, 17" tall with 7" from the inter-cooler/bumper support to the inside edge of my radiator core support. here are a few pictures to help visualize this.




OK so here are my 2 questions. forgive me if you find them ignorant i am just making sure i cover every ground on this project.

1. should i mount the Radiator straight vertical as the factory one was or if i can tilt it away from the engine would this cause any positive or negative affects?
2. Radiator fans, Single or dual?

I got the radiator. It's a Griffin Radiator that is 26" x 15" x 3". Has anybody done anything similar?

I know the civic radiator is a pretty small unit

not sure the dimesions though

I don't think there will be any negative effects from slanting the radiator, V-mount intercooler/radiators are used all the time in drift.


Caution: I have an odd sense of humor, so don't be offended by the things I say
MMMM, HIDs

there wont be any negative sideeffects. To run the gm intake mani youhave to do just that and tilt your rad down a touch..
