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!

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.
