Koyo Racing Radiator Fitment Issue

[CBAccordA4]

I wish I took a picture of the fit but its too late now. However I was installing my supposedly "92-93 Accord Auto Accod Koyo Racing Radiator Aluminum" (how it was advertised) from the Stillen company on ebay. Fans bolted up nicely, the width cleared nicely but this radiator wouldnt drop to the bottom support for shit, it is almost an inch away. The top is now higher than stock height and it seems like the cross beam front engine support is in the way. This radiator is much thincker than the stock one, almost 1/2" thicker. I SHOEHORNED that bitch in but wish I didnt, WHO know aluminum bent so easy.

Has anyone had fitment issues with this radiator? If not, my only other guess is this might be a 94-97 or 98-02 radiator and I shouldnt have trusted a Nissan hor company like Stillen to buy something for my Honda. Thanx
By the way I got it for $200 shipped, couldnt pass it up

Bump for anyone who has a koyo racing radiator

i had to trim the petcock to half its size and leave out one of the fan bolts. after that it fit fine for me. later.

no front end damage on your car?

No, no front end damage and I ( this is before I read Type G's post) I noticed the bolt was really in the way of clearing the sub frame so I took it out, push the radiator down about an inch or so more and stopped there. However it still never reached the bottom because now the fanguard on the tranny side was in the wway but screw it, its tight and the hood clears so I its good now. Thanks fellas

i also had to put a piece of door gaurd on the backside of the core support because it was rubbing the rad.


later.
