CRX Si - Installing the Skunk2 Alpha radiator with the Innovative Competition series traction bar

[@joszefspitefull9319]

Great video... You calmed me down because I ordered the same radiator for my ef and everyone says it doesn't clear the hood

[@joelatwar]

Do you have the Innovative traction bar too?

[@joszefspitefull9319]

No... Just the factory

[@joelatwar]

Oh right, it fits even better with that

[@DIYKAI]

I run a s2 radi with the traction bar on the stock mount mine is perfect as well

[@jonnymiskatonic]

Nut crush test is a good test.

[@mrme9517]

Nice Radiator I'm debating on the skunk 2 as well or the ebay Aluminum Radiator but what way did u route ur Coolant Overflow Tank did u go the direction of the outlet or curve it over to the passenger side instead thanks just getting ideas 💡 😎🍻

[@joelatwar]

The overflow is in the factory location on the drivers side. I had to use a longer hose.

[@toddtyler1682]

Pretty much same setup and my cap hits the hood lol.

[@Athon08]

My bottom radiator support must be bend. I can’t close my hood. Going to trim some for the underside away and see if it fits

[@KD-dx9hm]

Thanks for the info

[@qt8541]

what is that intake heat shield? and also it wont fit in the hatch, its crx specific. i had to cut part of my hood fo0r the cap to fit

[@joelatwar]

It’s custom shield made from some aluminum sheet

[@spoolin2bars]

Nice, next time put a dab of silicone to test instead of the peanut. lol

[@joelatwar]

The peanuts were right there!

[@sdfam7]

What did you do about the loose driver’s side of the radiator?

[@joelatwar]

I welded a tab with a hole in it to the traction bar. The peg coming off the bottom of the radiator sits right in the hole and I put rubber gasket so no metal on metal vibrations.

[@sdfam7]

@@joelatwar thanks Brotha!

[@kingsteven00]

What radiator hosing did you use?

[@joelatwar]

The original stock hoses

[@bradmartin3289]

[@joshuaedee3913]

[@joelatwar]
