Now its time for my hx40 install. I had a little trouble with the oil drain clearing the motor mount bracket so i had to cut away a little. Heres what i did. Also i had to go with a civic half radiator.

I didnt know at first how to mount my half radiator.... Then it came to me! I took the oem radiator brackets and mounted them under the car. And the radiator sits nice and flush! I used a little angle iron though for a support bracket on top. Not the cleanest or best looking bracket but its functional.

I had to get a n/t water pipe to clear the huge ass compressor on the hx40. Well there was no water pipe fitting that goes to the oil filter housing on the n/t waterpipe so i cut both pipes in half. I think we can put two and two together lol.




I also put a pipe over the connecting hose to disperse heat away. Not to shabby!

Santa came today /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif






New mishimoto silicone radiator hoses and 14 inch mishimoto slim fan! Over heating now will not be an issue!

I hope that half sized fan works for you because it didnt for me. atleast for DD use in traffic and sitting still for more then 5 mins. i now run an AFCO racing one and a spal fan and it can sit in the sun for 30+ mins with no issues.

I would consider having that water pipe fixed properlly there is a lot of heat down there and you could get a leak that could ruin the motor before you would know what was happening.

I agree pay a shop $10.00 to have it welded.

 

[tsijohn333]

Im gonna get it welded tomorrow! Also i'm going to ditch the half sized radiator and get an afco one. My ac dont work anyways /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Is this the radiator that everyone uses in place of the ac condenser? click
