Radiator Mount Kit

The Hush Performance EFVWR1 is a bolt-in radiator mount kit specifically engineered for USDM EF 1988-1991 Honda Civic Hatch/CRX/Wagon/Sedan models equipped with K, B, D, or H series engines. This kit facilitates the installation of the widely used VW Scirocco Radiator, known for its all-aluminum construction and dual-pass design with outlets on a single side. The kit includes powder-coated lower and upper radiator support brackets, slotted for optimal fitment, along with hardware such as Riv Nuts. It also provides aluminum post mounts for securing the radiator, positioning it near the original location while allowing clearance for a relocated alternator. The design ensures compatibility with the hood latch T-bar. Installation of the EFVWR1 kit requires removal of some of the existing OEM radiator support. For those purchasing the mount kit hardware only, aluminum welding will be necessary. Detailed instructions are included. The VW Scirocco Radiator itself has no fill neck, offering flexibility for users to implement either an inline fill or a cylinder head type fill. Hush Performance also offers pre-fabricated radiators with welded components for those who do not weld. It is important to note that the included VW Scirocco Radiator is described as a "cheap Chinese radiator," similar to those found on Amazon or eBay. While functional and cost-effective, potential buyers should expect cosmetic imperfections such as less refined welding, potential damage to core fins upon arrival, and slightly misaligned shroud bungs that may require tapping or resizing. The included radiator is noted as being the most consistent among tested brands, but these considerations are inherent to radiators in this price range.
