Default new Heat Exchanger

I had an idea, decided to give it a try.

Honda Civic Radiator $60
Civic EFan from the junk yard $20
fittings and other lil odd and end stuff $30

I havent had the time to get all the air out of the system yet, but its working pretty good so far. IATs drop faster than they climb



I was in a hurry when my other HX decided to spring a leak, so i threw this lil trans cooler on it.

I have been trying to get someone to install a larger HX for testing for months now. Looks great and the price wow you just cannot beat used parts that fit the bill. Clean install for sure..
Did you see any final air temp differences yet?
