Why not abs? Do you mean the functionality of it. Precision bb 6466 1.15 hot side.

In the way of the intercooler piping. And once you have such power you probably don't want it anyways

This is a very nice set-up. Where did you purchase your turbo from?

I like this car. Simple and subtle. My kindo' of ride.

It will be tight fit but I will make it work. High boost is for track days, I don't think I will be much over 500 whp for daily use.

Overheating problem

[laz93se]

Ordered a 2 row radiator , hopefully that gives me enough room for the fan.

[Tishock]

Conversation had on Raf99 MRT

laz93se - Is your radiator 2 row or 3? I am having cooling issues and the pusher fan is not working that great.

Raf99 - Mine is a Mishimoto 3 row half rad. What issues are you having and what's your setup?


Tishock - I always tell people to go with a three row. Especially for people like me that live in warmer climates. And pulling fans are more efficient than pushing fans. Also consider using a fan shroud with pulling fans. This way your entire core is having air pulled through it rather than just the area the fan alone covers.

laz93se - I currently have a 3 row but due to space I was forced to use a pusher fan. Car temps go to 215f when sitting at a light other wise it's drops to 198 when moving. I just bought a 2 row koyo half size , but I don't know if the fan I have will fit as a puller.

Tishock - What size is the fan and what's the CFM on that fan? You'll want to be around 1600 CFM for a 4banger. Also not trying to insult your intelligence but did you make sure its blowing in the right direction? Is it a puller, pusher or 2-way/reversible?

laz93se - No problem I don't feel slighted. It's a go autoworks 1550 cc fan, it reversible. I changed the polarity and flipped the blades. I can feel the air flow through it but I don't think it's enough to cool the 3 cores. Though the 3 row I have is an eBay product from cx racing, heard decent stuff about them on hondatech. The car does take 15 - 20 min to overheat while parked or idling.

Tishock - Yup, I'm also running the cx-racing radiator (see sig), their shroud and I believe a flexalite 2k CFM fan. Going on 4 years now. Had the first one another 3-4 years before a large piece of metal went piercing through it on the fwy. Have also installed them in a couple EGs with no problems. I assume the manifold is deceptively closer to the radiator than it looks in the pic in your MRT and probably runs a lot hotter than my header. Because it almost looks like you have enough room.

laz93se - I will post some pics on my members ride thread so you can see the clearance. I don't want to further thread jack , sorry raf.

My first cx-racing radiator was set up the same way as yours and had no overheating issues. Have you gone through the overheating diagnosis check list? Fan motor, relay, switch, thermostat....?

I removed the thermostat, everything else works fine. The fan stays on until I hit 30mph as programmed by Hondata.

Also idled the car for 15 with no cap to remove any air in the system.

[laz93se]

Also ordered some hood spacers to try and evacuated engine heat soak.

[laz93se]

I had the fan as a puller before installing manifold and turbo, just a open header on. No overheating issues, drove to the gas station a few times without a problem.

[Grumpys93]

I can't remember, did you pull the a/c condenser? That will help a little with air flow. A puller fan helps a lot, that's what I use on my set-up. I'm assuming your not willing to turn your turbo and have the downpipe come on the alternator side? That will free up a lot of room. I know you would have to re-route some things.

No a/c , so no condenser. I can't flip the turbo , housing is to big and will hit the manifold. Agh this is the only issue keeping me from the dyno.
