    Default Civic radiator questions for turbo set up questions

    Take a look at the pictures.







    Note how there is not an extra hose line for heater core.(or what ever it is).
    What do you guys do to keep this line inline with the others? I believe its a drain hose, if so where can i put it?

    I went no heater

    If I want it later, I'll "T" it in.

    I 'T'eed mine in. I just looked around the part stores until I found one that had a 'T' built into the hose. I might still have the part number. I'll try to find it.

    You may run into overheating issues. Is there a reason you need a Honda radiator?

    If he gets a twin core del sol unit, he should be fine. Normally, the turbo placement dictates whether a Honda radiator is needed, you should know that

    I know some people had problems with stock Honda ones, others used fluidyne ones with no problems.

    I was asking because I fit a 50 trim with the stock radiator and you don't really need anything bigger on the street

    I think the car will get a little warm at a stand still, but nothing the fan can handle. Also i put i colder thermostat in the Z. Very rarely does my fan come on. It actually came on for the first time last week since winter!

    I am choosing the aluminum radiator for reason that i want a cleaner engine bay and easy to do mainance.

    I got this hose from Auto Zone. Part # XL1261

    I had to cut it a bit to fit it and the hose has a larger ID then the radiator nipple. I just used an adapter and another bit of hose to fit it on.

    It depends on where you place it too. Most turbos shift around, depending on what manifold is used, and where it places the turbo.

    What kinda hoses did you guys use when positioning the radiator more to the drivers side?
