Civic Radiator Effecient enough? UPDATED!!!!!!!

[eskinol]

More space to work with and a slightly better cooling capacity. Thats about it.

If it works on this setup:






you shouldn't have to worry about overheating a qualtiy civic rad.

Gosh dang! Thanks for that beautiful pictuce. Adapter it is! I wonder where he found that mount...? JY? Also why the heck does he have two 38mm wastegates? Could he not afford a 42 or 50 or what? But a beautiful setup none the less... beautiful...

I heard from honda ppl that the 2 things that most dont replace on hondas with aftermarket , is the Ignition... and the Radiator. thats what i heard tho..

[eskinol]

The stock radiator works fine, no one doubts that. Reason for replacing is what I stated above, mainly increasing work space with a slightly better cooling capacity.

My setup is 14 psi. stock radiator and fans.....never had even a second of over heating.

AMS is using two wastegates because it's a twinscroll setup.

and it has a 4" exhaust

all 80 pages of it. If you haven't seen videos of this EVO I suggest you check out streetfire, it's pretty damn fast. Those pictures are of the new setup, used to have a 35R, and they haven't finished it yet. All the fab work is done, but it needs a lot of tuning.

Well it looks like we broke another record. We decided to pull a late night and tune her on C16. Spool is REDICULOUS! on the street this car will see full boost under 5000 RPM! The number as they stand right now are

826 AWHP!!! and 597 Ft/ lbs! that was on 42 psi on C16 just like the car would sit on the street!

Oh and Martin isnt done yet!

I will have Mark here edit the video footage I took and get it up here in the morning. The car is DEAFENING!!

oh and guys this was ALL BOOST!!! NO NITROUS!!!

spools @ 5k.... damn thats a drag turbo... no wonder it makes 826awhp.

wonder how long the tranny will last though.

depends what he puts in there. If he uses a shep 5spd dog box it'll last. 5K isn't too bad if you can rev to 8K, but yeah it not exactly a quick spooling turbo. Funny thing is he drives his car ion the street, I don't think I've seen any track footage of his car.



Some videos of his old setup:

There are some more floating around, but too lazy to search for them

New info:

Not sure why there is a dip between 7.5-8.0. It'll be one hell of a ride on the highway from 5000-9000.

I'd love to feel a 2nd gear pull from 5k till 4th... man... the torque... the sudden torque after 5k... so killer... I wonder what the g-forces feel like.

[D323]

sorry it took me a while, but here are the pics of my rad & spal fan.

[eskinol]

Gosh damn... your fan pwnt the radiator! Lol... gobble gobble! My fan are curved blades.

Gosh damn... your fan pwnt the radiator! Lol... gobble gobble! My fan are curved blades.

:rofl: I know. Maximum cooling from a small rad was the goal.

[eskinol]

You sure accomplished that goal... you gave your radiator 110% cooling effeciency! or 150% or whatever! PWN LOL
