I need help with turbo system

I was making a turbocharger for my civic. and i was going to install the intercooler when i found out that i didn't have space for my stock radiator. so i ripped it out and now im wonering. If i have a intercooler, do i still need the radiator? thanks.

Yep the radiator is responsible for cooling ure engine block. A IC cools down the air thats gonna go inside ure throttle to the engine. 2 different things. but in a model whats the difference? No1 will tell u that u dont have a radiator. The decision belongs 2 u

Retro fit that bitch.

Well, it's a Honda, so it has electric fans to help cool the radiator, so you can put it behind the motor, or just make a smaller one to fit behind the intercooler.

all cars have fans to cool the radiator

does anyone know where to get the muscle machines or the import tuner cars?and does anyone know which specific model has an intercooler that i can take out? also, how do you make a TWIN TURBO system?

www.diecastmuscle.com might still have them.

Yes but a Honda is a horizontally opposed motor, so the crankshaft can't power the fan. So it's electric.

350Z, Silvia, and the NSX for sure have twin turbo systems, but I'd recommend not twin turboing a 4 cylinder, specially a horizontally opposed one, you'll find yourself running out of room REAL quick.

yeah. that's true. im already having trouble putting in my 1 turbo and intercooler. and the screws that held in the engine had to be taken off (1 out of 2 screws) so that i could custom bend a pipe from the headers to the turbo.

you mean the motors are mounted ~ sideways, as are all FWD 4 cylinders.

90% of cars nowadays have electric fans.

Subarus arent mounted horizontal or vertical, they're boxer motors.
Mustangs and other V6-V8 cars have crank drivin fans.
FWD 4 cyl motors are horozontally opposed so the crank can't power the fan, so it's electric.
90% of cars nowadays are FWD.

look up horizontally opposed:
