run an integra rad..you can just use the hoses too without having to mod them..
just dent the hood support

dent the hood support???? please explain

 

[INJEN78]

the skeleton under the actual hood,,the braces or whatever,theres 2 spots itll hit but its not bad

I have a carbonfiber sir hood, how bad does the da radiator hit? if i stay with the stock rad what is the hose mod?

 

[INJEN78]

if you have carbonfiber just cut a little out where it hits..and if you stay stock the stock hoses are too small for the water necks on the motor,,you have to "sleeve" the hoses and put bigger ends on

Im using the stock radiator and D-series hoses, I stretched them over the B-series water necks. I havent had a problem with bursting hoses or over heating or anything like that.
