Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Just wrapped up my half radiator installation. It was cheap on Ebay, I think around 80 shipped. Its a 3 row out for a Civic application. I modified the inlet and outlets to increase the size up to 1.5", chopped off the filler neck and covered it up, fabricated new mounts, added a petcock valve, and to wrap it up made a new overflow tank.
Weight savings ended up being 17+ pounds. Kind of crazy, more than what I expected. I weighed both radiators filled with water to make the comparison. Some of the weight was due to removing the extra radiator fan too.
