Brad's CRX Build

[hondafreak513]

If you are still using the stock crx radiator then good luck on getting the hoses to seal.. The stock radiator has smaller outlets than the b-series outlets on the motor..

stock radiator, b series hoses.

the plug difference shouldnt be too big of a deal. im guessing it ran a hotter plug than the USDM engines, er actually it might be the other way around.. shit i dunno.

get that fucker in there already!

Weird every GSR motor I have put in on a 95 and older civic the radiator tube is smaller than the GSR hose and tube on the motor???

I had used rad hoses and gear clamps on my LS motor with no problems.

The JDM plugs are colder. Lol I'm confused too. I'm going to ask the mechanics at work and pick up my new heater hose today. And I want her in sooo bad too !

It is smaller but Gear clamps took up the slack for me.

I finally got the cash to get my lisence today! Stoked!

What do the gear clamps look like.. Im not sure on which ones your talking about... We've been using two clamps and they sometimes leak a little..

Hey I've been following your progress on the wire tuck. I HIGHLY recommend running all of the wires through corr tube, especially when it routes behind the fenders. Just taping will not protect them.

 

[invisibledemon]

we always called them screw clamps or just hose clamps at every place i have worked at.
we never use any other kind, the squeeze style ones fucking blow.

Yeah I planned on re-using the factory tubing for all the wiring. I have tons.

He Used Magic VTECH JDM Shift Linkage!!!11 Google it...

 

[invisibledemon]

dont be a dick, these build threads are dual purpose:
1. the guy building can show off the work and ask questions
2. they also work great as a how to for a lot of people, and enables them to ask questions directly with somebody who is doing the same as them.

 

[fionntan]

Well said sir.

I bought a used home made one local (half Civic, half Integra) and its terrible. I hightly recommend a B-Seires swap linkage (cant wait to get mine as well).
