PACKAGE CONTENTS:
- Hybrid Racing radiator, drain plug and radiator cap
PARTS NEEDED:
- Slim Fan
- Fan mounting tabs
- OEM rubber tab grommets
- Radiator stay bracket
- Fan switch and coolant temperature sensors
Before beginning the installation please note that these products were designed around a factory Honda Civic. If your chassis has been modified, or repaired because of damage some parts may not fit correctly and some minor modifications may be required.
Installation
1. Begin by removing all of the factory radiator and AC components.
2. Mount the fan using fan mounting hardware. (Contact Hybrid Racing if you do not have these)
3. Mount the fan in the appropriate direction and push the tabs through the radiator fins. Make sure not to damage any of the cooling fins.
- Install the protective square on the face of the radiator.
- After the tab has been pushed through, clip and slide the back piece and make sure the fan is secured tightly to the radiator.
4. Place the radiator along with the OE rubber grommets into the factory AC location.
- Note: The fan should be attached at this point!
5. Once the radiator has been mounted, secure with a radiator stay bracket.
6. Install the drain bolt. Thread sealer can be used if desired.
7. Install the Fan Switch sensor into the bottom bung. (connect to your conversion harness)
8. Connect the coolant temperature sensor in the bung at the top of the radiator. (connect to your conversion harness)
9. Connect the proper radiator hoses, and fill system with coolant. (radiator hoses may vary due to different applications and parts)
10. Check for any leaks.
Fan Wiring
11. Locate the factory fan connector located near the stock OE radiator fan was. The easiest way to connect the fan is to use the crimp on connectors, remove the stock plug and crimp on the wire connector ends.
12. Connect the wires to the new slim fan.
13. Let the car warm up, watching the coolant temperature level. When the fan kicks on, (either set by the fan switch, or KPRO) confirm the fan is turning the proper way. If it is not, switch the wires on the connector.
