Mishimoto Radiator Questions

[M@]

I bought a Mishimoto aluminum half-sized radiator. The inlet/outlet's are 1 1/8", and B-series hoses are about 1 5/8". What gives? Anyone have any experience with this? Did you get new caps welded onto the radiator? Did you just clamp the hoses down?

Ugh.

Yep tighten it pretty good.I ran it on my EG for about a year with no problems.

[M@]

Cool.. thanks! :) What kind of fan did you run on it?

[Slava]

It was a 10"

No, I have a fan, I bought the 12" fan actually.. I'm wondering how you mounted it though? Did you just those zip ties that run through the fins?

[Slava]

Yep just ran the zip ties. Got them at checkers for like 9.99.

[M@]

Sweet. Thanks Slava. :thumbup:

[Slava]

No problem. So are you rebuilding you civic?

[M@]

Nope, that thing is trash. I have a new project. :p

I have one of these radiators on my da integra. I just tightened the clamp down like slave said and used a 10" slim fan off of ebay. radiator works great and keeps my motor hella cool. It is close to the 1/3 mark on the engine temp gauge, and my stock one kept it at like half.

my Integra FULL size Mishimoto radiator had the correct size inlet/outlets..

[M@]

Yeah, I made this post before I even got home to install it, and the in/outlets were correct afterall. The hoses fit nice and snug on it.
