    Aluminum radiator for the BF

    Does anyone know a good solution for a swap? I really would like to change the old one out.

    Thanks...

        Can get the measurements.....where would you compare them? are there a website or something?

        808: Interesting.....can you be more specific? And can you refer to a forum user who have done it? would like to see pics etc..

        Thanks

          Heh... Uh... i can do a search.. As far as I can tell there's no write up or pictures on this forum. There's another forum I'm a part of that has a write up, but it's been down for the better part of 2 weeks.

          Copy pasta from the GTX yahoo group

          "The easiest swap I have found is the 91-93 Civic
          SOHC radiator. You have to have the lower neck/outlet turned 90 degress to the
          passenger side ($40 @ a rad shop) & fab lower rad hose & upper mounts. On a
          scale of 1-10 I would call it a 5. Oh... you will need a brass "T" adapter in
          the lower drain for the (2) temp sensors.

          Get the 2-row aluminum race rad off ebay for about $125 shipped."

                          Sorry, man. Been super busy. Had to organized the wife's 50th birthday party (guests from out of town, caterer $$$$$, bed-n-breakfast, bakery for a special dessert, etc), plus teaching and coaching (end of the season banquet is tonight and I spent three hours in the rain a week ago remeasuring the district course along with extra coaches meetings to finalize the organization process and dealing with team uniform inventory) plus two migraines two days in a row (actually took part of yesterday off because it was so bad) and dealing with my car being hit and going through the process of an estimate and dealing with a shop, having building contractors finishing one of my projects (1000 sq. ft. deck including me going numerous times to Home Depot to special order materials) and the list goes on and on and on..... But, who cares... You guys don't want to hear this stuff..... LOL

                          I'll try to get some pictures and post them before the banquet tonight. If not, I'll do it soon.
