...And had a buddy fab up these mounts for me.





Should I be worried about the gap between the fan?

It is very very sturdy and I would like to leave it the way it is.

He put those black spacers there for a reason the fan and radiator are suppose to have a gap. You'll never see them touching. Looks good

And here's my progress in 10 minutes of trying.

Very very simple. pretty straight forward.

Take the old one out, slip new rubber onto the new radiator.

Sit in place, tighten the crap out of the worm gear clamps.

Flip over the radiator stay.

Drill and tap new hole (yet to be done)

Fill with coolant.

Check fan.

Free'd up some rooom for the upcoming turbo.


Drive.

Very nice progress, and good shet on what your buddy did. Looks like he did a good job.

You'll be relieved with all the space you have now once the turbo kit comes and you'll have that extra space for your manifold.

HELP!!! I cannot find a cap that fits. The OE one is barely too small, a Ford style is two times as big!
I am using a Proliance Pro-formance Aluminum radiator, part # 439505.

I need this car running by tomorrow.

Civic cap does not fit.

Went and bought one to make sure, I got the OE on on for now with a hammer. Drove it until it warmed up, and no leaks so far. Just have to fix the ghetto radiator stay.

Just make sure the pressure doesn't make that cap come off.
If it does you'll be in trouble...

Driving the car ~20 miles of interstate driving to work today. Should find out if it will stay or not.
