In my opinion, keep this Type-S in one piece and get another standar VTI and K20 super charge that. Seems a waste of Atts.

Strangely enough, someone suggested that on PUK the other day too?

Well i hope you pull this off. Document it all and prices etc as it will be useful in the future.

Can I assume these are Hoses for an Aluminium Radiator and not Aluminium Hoses for a Radiator?

That would indeed be aluminium hoses for a radiator with short silicone pieces to join the pipes to the radiator and engine.

Ah Ok! I didn't think you did actually mean that, but would have been worried to think it was going to be one solid piece if you had

Silicone makes it all better

That looks awesome, do you have a link to a build thread or something?

A question to all forum members:

Is there such a thing as a half size aftermarket alloy prelude radiator ? I see some for sale on ebay as direct replacement, but the mounting points and the hose in and out are not in the same location as the original so I cannot see how it is direct replacement...

From the depths of my mind I'm sure I recall people using Civic half rads or something like that... no doubt someone more knowledgeable will post soon.

No mate there are no direct replacements. You can utilize one of the the lower rad mounts, but then need to customise a second lower one near the centre of the slam panel, and then the top mounting will need a custom brack as well, although that one is simple to sort.
