I made a custom bracket to hold my ebay radiator at the bottom. I used a Torque Solution upper Radiator bracket that I had to drill into the frame support. Hope this helps.

The diameter on the ebay one is a little smaller. I didn't have a problem since I use Gates Power Clamps.

BTW, my new one is a Koyo that is modified by/for STM that fits perfect, but cost a little more.

Also want to know if the bottom/top mounting brackets are the same on the Evo and Civic, I'm worried a bit, I'm about to order this radiator while my car is apart. Not a dd but it's driven quite a bit in the summer including racing.
The hoses are a hair larger than the radiator inlet/outlets, but nothing a tight clamp won't fix. I had to make an upper bracket out of a piece of scrap aluminum I found. Nothing special, just drilld a couple holes in it. And yes, temp of the bottom hose. That's where your oem thermostat housing picks up the temperature as well.

Just installed a blox front motor mount with my half radiator. I will say i would recommend getting this as the lower hose does not touch the motor mount, actually i can fit a finger between the new blox mount and the stock lower hose.

Well I figure if I'm going to have to fab anything up I might as well go with the least expencive one I find, as long as it's going to cool properly. I'm usually the very last person to order cheap parts for my car but if it'll work, why not?

Has anyone tried any of the Civic radiators that come prefit with the shroud and fan? I was contemplating the below with the upgraded fan.

That looks like the same thing everyone is running but with a shroud. Shrouds, IMHO, are better at cooling the entire area the shroud covers versus just where the fan covers. Looks good.

Just saw this, but I bought a new 3 row alum civic rad the other day. I'm in Alabama so I'll need all the help I can get. For those that need a reference the depth of the core is exactly flush with the end tanks.

Got my DNA rad and slim fan today. It seems like a nice inexpensive part, hopefully it does a good job. I bought it right from DNA, cost me $114 shipped.
