Are these made to bolt right up? By looking at mine it looks like a no... Any info? TIA

(civic fluidyne radiator going into a 95 Coupe)

 

not too sure about the fans but the radiator will drop right in. The fans may require a little custom fabbing to make them look stock but civics have all types of apps that will drop right in or snap straight on

 

I have them both and they DO NOT bolt right in. The radiator might fit into place just right, but the overflow resevoir doesn't want to fit right, you have to force it. Also, I had to force the stock hoses to fit onto the necks of the Fludiyne radiator due to the increased diameter. Had the same problem with my Griffin radiator on the old Stang.

The fan looks as though it will bolt on, but it doesn't. It was made for the stock radiator and probably fits that great. I had to notch the supplied mounting brackets to allow clearance for the radiator hose necks. The bottom still didn't line up correclty; I plan on making custom metal straps to hold them down. Here's a link to my pics and comparison shots:

For cooling purposes, the two work great together. If I had to do it over again, I would have chosen the Fluidyne fan with the radiator for guaranteed fit. The car still overheats after a few runs, but I'm still running a 160 degree thermostat. If I dropped that, the car would run a lot cooler on the track.

 

Oh, here's some pics so everyone can see them:

 

Also, PLEASE insure that you put teflon tape on the threads of both the drain plug and overflow nipple. They WILL leak.

 

good advice

 

we just chopped the brackets into 4 pieces. Pretty much just cut the middle of the bracket off . Did the trick.

As for the overflow tank, the thing that it slides on to. We just removed the bottom bolt and loosened the top bolt. Rotated the piece, and tightened the top bolt. And slid it back on, fit great. If you want you can use a self tapping screw and put a screw on the bottom but it isn't worth it.

 

Mine fit fine with the stock fan and fit the hose necks fit just like the stock D-series with the Integra hoses. I was happy with mine and never had any overheating problems after installing it. Seeya.
