K Swap Civic Radiator Upgrade

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video I add an iacv block off plate and koyo radiator. Car is running great now with the iacv removed and temps are perfect with the new koyo radiator! I’m happy with how everything went!
I ditched my type-s TB bracket and used one off of a TL. works perfect, and doesn't aim up towards the hood.
I’ll have to keep my eye out next time I’m at the junkyard. Thanks for the advice!
That is a good radiator and now you have the eBay one for the budget build 😀👍
Worked out perfectly huh 🤣
Yeerrr good morning early grind love that radiator
Thanks man! I love it too
Not sure if you know this or not but the throttle cable threads have those spaces in between them intentionally so you can slip it into place between the bracket, you just have to run the lower nut all the way down the thread (jump the nut over the space and on to the other lower thread, then you would have a clear window to fit the cable between the bracket (instead of bending it). Then move the nuts back up into place and adjust cable tension. Just a tip, thats why it was engineered like tht.
Appreciate the advice, no longer own this car but hope this comment is able to help another person.
That’s one good rad
Sure is, really like the quality of it compared to the others I’ve see
egchris92 this will be my next one. I just got mishimoto one
Looking cleannnnn
Thanks man
Is that a K20? I have a K24A2 in my CRX and was wondering what's the difference in the water neck adapter for the RBC? Do I need that KTuned kit and cut the intake? The person I got the engine from was running it with silicone in that area.
Is that a Karcepts adapter plate? What radiator hoses did you use? Sorry I have so many questions, I'm almost ready to start.
This was a k24a2, this used a block off plate for the coolant port. You don't have to cut it unless you want to. I bought it cut already so I had to get the block plate. The radiator hoses I got off eBay
@@ChrisBuilt92 Okay so the temp sensor get relocated to the back of the head? You don't happen to have those hose part numbers?
The temp sensor screwed into the block off plate I used, the part number for the hoses? If you go on eBay and search "k swap hoses" should come up
@@ChrisBuilt92 I got a Mishimoto radiator and it's gonna be tight. Did you have any issues? I'm gonna also have to delete the IACV.
Where can I find that radiator stay?
Looking nice! Were you able to use your old radiator cap or did you have to get a new one for the Koyo radiator?
The cap was actually what was wrong with my eBay radiator so I chose to just upgrade the whole things. Koyo doesn’t sell the cap with the rad you need to buy it separate
Was the top front corner of that koyo modified for K-swaps? I've never seen one with that sloped section. Just ordered one for my EG that seems to overheat the fuel whenever I run the AC (since installing a stainless header. You've got the only Koyo/EG install I could find.
Hey man, this is just a koyo rad most likely used for b swap but works the same for k.
Looks like you got the latest revision then. Newest pics I could find (with the temp sensor port) was on JHPusa.
94eg! 94eg! It was fairly recent. Radiator seems to work well.
is it safe to cut a little part of the rad peg foot to prevent it from hitting the hood? nice and clean eg btw 👌🏼
Wouldn’t make a difference because they slide through the bracket , what you could do is lower the mounting points lower.
Were you using a fan switch or does the fan just come on with kpro?
I used the cars factory fan controller wires and kpro controlled when they turned on based on the coolant temp sensor reading
@@ChrisBuilt92 did you have to wire it to work with kpro or did u just plug your fan to your oem fan plug?
@@theKrazyMan101 just plug it in, I used an after market slim fan so I just cut the plug and spliced the wires to one another
Hey man how are you able to connect your phone to the car to see your cluster ? My rpms don’t work and I was tryna see if you have a video explaining it
The kpro v4 has Bluetooth built in, as long as you have that and the kpro app you will be able to see all the details with your gauges
How did you prevent hood heating the koyorad?
Had to dent the inner skin of the hood there
What throttle cable u was using?
Stock
@@ChrisBuilt92 so ur stock eg throttle cable?
@@Southsaccccc yes I used the one the car came with and worked perfect
@@ChrisBuilt92 okay thanks.
