Better craftsmanship than most honda building youtubers I ever seen. Inspiring! Clean! Keeping it clean, no ghetto fabs! On top of it all a lady broke outperformed most men in craftsmanship! Seriously!
Trying to find a woman like u is hard now of day's someone into the same cars and doing your own work is amazing who ever has you is a lucky lucky man, big and serious😍
Very nice hands on and very informative the best video on how to put a radiator and you give ideas 💡 in new parts and brands
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for like in the comment
Nice to see a female doing a Sick build. Great explanation on the tucked radiator. Installing mine next week.
Thank you! Good luck on installing yours!
I like how you took your time to do it right. It's the little things like using a rag to stop the coolant from going all over the place. I'm a cave man and I'd make a mess. I appreciate someone that takes their time. I bought this same rad during their BF sale. I'm going to flip it upside down for my k24 swap. Look forward to Future vids.
Thank you! Good luck on yours!
Hands down best install video on UA-cam!! Keep it up and upload more you'll make serious gains in no time with this kinda quality content
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Props Aisha, a woman that wrenches on her own Built clean Honda is very impressive !! Great job!! I see the original wing back on from first video . Looks better👍🏻
Thank you! Lol, everyone has different taste :) some people like it some people don't. I'm trying something new :) Thank you!
I wasn’t tryin to offend or be rude. It’s your build not ours. Lol
First, let me say I LOVE seeing other female mechanics building cars!! There are so few of us!
Can you provide some details on how you made your fan harness? I have the same tucked radiator but I am stuck trying to figure out how to get the dual fan set up to work
This is the first video I found that had the radiator tuck on a turbo car. I’m sure there are others, but glad I found this. This video is giving me some clear direction for my CRX. Thank you.👍
Thank you for watching! Glad the video could help!
I don't even have a Honda, but this was mad therapeutic to watch lol
LOL Thank you!
Very detailed and informative Aisha, the hatch keeps getting better and better keep up the excellent work.
Julio Ortiz thank you! Appreciate it! I tried to be as detailed as possible to help out anyone that was thinking about upgrading to a tuck radiator.
Girl!!! straight up, your putting us boyz to shame with this clean informative build. keep doing your thing. oh yeh......you fine s hell!!!
LOL! Thank you
Wow it’s great to see a woman working on HER car! You go girl!
Thank you! 💪
Very informative hands down best tutorial install video.
Gsr Turbo thank you! I appreciate that 😊
I know this is super car nerdy to say but I got goosebumps at the end when you had slow motion close-ups of all the detail and hard work you put in. You're an artist. Great video, that was really interesting to watch.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that. It's not super car nerdy, you just get it. I know exactly how you feel, I'm the one that made the video and I still get goosebumps every time I watch it myself lol
You are so gangster and you do things 100% cleaner than any man ive met so far. Hell yes. And i came here to learn about needing a filler neck cuz i was wondering how the hell i was gnna do it on a similar setup, just H series (same shit tho basically) . Thank you
✊ 🤣 Thank you! I'm sure there are some options available out there for the H-Series head for a filler neck. I think Trac Tuff may possible have one.
Great work. Always exciting to see a lady who knows her stuff. Maybe boys & girls have more in common then we thought. Lol go girl!
LOL Thank you!
That was probably one of the most thorough install videos I've ever seen. Good high quality content! Sub'd!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
thats a pretty bad ass civic im shocked to see a woman doing this, good work its an impressive build. props
Thank you!
I think the ls bottom end and gsr head is one of the best and easiest builds still my favorite swap to do, nice work.
Thank you. Funny thing is, I've never owned a GSR head lol, I've always run b16 heads. And I've never done a non-vtec block, always b16 or GSR. Everyone has their preferences lol
Good job always check for leaks while after driving around the block
Honestly more informative than most other civic videos that guys make. Real nice.
Dammm i could watch her all day doin this love girls who in to cars like this
That tucked radiator is pretty cool looking, I ran my turbo the other direction so the intake is on the passenger side. I plan to route the turbo filter behind the driver side headlight and get one of those headlight ram-air intakes to run to the turbo. Plus that way the downpipe just goes straight down behind and doesn't interfere with the radiator, plenty of room. Nice mod though.
Wow great video you explained everything just right we need more women like you great job 👍🏼
I need a women like you in my life. Honestly not many girls here where I live like working on cars. And your car is beautiful. Just spectacular.
a girl that builds it breaks it and races it again . got to love it
ricky muniz thank you!
Nice work I love a female that can put in work and mods on a car also who loves it. I am currently working on my EG hatch going to be from B18B1 to B18C
Thank you! Good luck on yours!
Wow great job!
4BangersProduction 🙏 thank you!! Appreciate it!!
Your channel is so underrated I don’t understand why. Your fuckin awesome ! Cleanest b series setup & the color on that hatch ! 👌🏽 Niceee
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Awesome build! I got a 92 eg hatch with a 94 b18c1 swap. Going turbo on stock internals with ARP head studs and cometic head gasket. Only shooting for 250-280whp for now. Eventually I'll build it for 350-400whp.
Thank you! You should be safe at 250-280hp, but trust me, you're going to get to 250-280hp and you're going to want more!! lol Good luck!!
The detail in the video is crazy! A+++
I think this is the best video i have ever seen. Great job
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Beautiful car! I love seeing women in the Honda scene. Subscribed.
Thank you!
Bloody awesome seeing the women out there bossin it working on there cars,,,,, keep it up :)
Thank you!
Hey, keep up the great work my family is from the islands. You should really consider doing vlogs of your daily life i would be so exicted to see you drive and even race and maybe even build up that ex you have sitting in the garage.
Thank you! I'm working on trying to do some vlogging and other videos. I'm still new to the whole UA-cam and video editing thing lol.. Soon though soon! Thank you for the support!
Well made video, and well made ride! And, you made the harness, impressive! You know, I just watched Cars 3 by Pixar.
LOL Thank you!
LETS GO AISHA!! WELCOME TO THE UA-cam LIFE!! YOU'RE DOING GREAT SO FAR!!
Thank you Percy! Appreciate it!
I like the screw type bumper fasteners you used on the car👌
Thank you! They're from Downstar ( www.downstarinc.com )
Nothing but respect. Great job girl
Thank you!
Keep it up!! Love it!!!
Joanna Gonzalez hey when you gonna pump out some new content? Been a min girl! 😉😉😉
Joanna Gonzalez thank you!! Appreciate it!!
Watched this vid before bed...I had a whole dream I met her and got the number 😭🥰
🤣🤣🤣
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt Any new videos coming soon?
@@Donyce19 YES! I'm working on editing a few videos right now. One is a long one so its taking me a while, but I'm hoping to release that one within the next few weeks.
Looking forward to it 😉
A few tips I would give people are to use some light machine oil to lube the AN fittings onto the hose. WD-40 should work fine, but I feel the oil is better. Also, when using angled fittings, try to match it's angle up so you can use the natural curve of the hose to get the direction you want. I'd also use some anti-seize on the AN threads to prevent galling and to lubricate them a bit. I would also go back and re-torque all of those bolts and fittings after a few heat cycles to make sure things haven't loosened due to heat expansion. Lastly, I would never recommend cutting the hood support bracket without reenforcing it later. It's there for a reason.
Good to see the coolant temps went down and now there's more room for turbo goodness. Nothing beats that whistle and whoosh sound from a turbo as you're put back into your seat. #4G63510
No lie that was a great tutorial ! Car looks great especially with the pretty lady driving 😉 keep up the good work .
Thank you!
I think I'm using this system for my next build, looks dope
Awesome. It works.
Awesome job . Makes me want to get back in the game ...
Thank you! Do it lol
Aisha Christian aka aisha_ladybuilt no problem keep up the good work and keep the content coming lol you get things done better than half of the dudes I know 😂
Great video editing, good camera shots and overall well done👍
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Nice radiator. I'm looking into that same style. Latommyla just installed one. Seems to be a great product
I'd say go for it! It is a quality product. I saw that Latommyla got on too, but then he had to exchange it for the polished style because unfortunately his was defective and leaked. But I haven't had any issues with mine.
Clean af and thorough. Respect as always!
Thank you!
No problem I follow you on IG your really doing great things. Can't wait to get mine running shooting for up.coming spring. Gsr turbo.
Awesome. Good luck!
Cleeean! Need more content yo.
Thank you! Lol I'm working on it!
Amazing instructional video and civic! That orange beast looks so good. You're very inspiring. I have a 2000 civic sedan that I just started building.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! Sorry for the late response I must have missed this comment, but I was rewatching videos today and saw that I didn’t respond to your comment lol. How is your build going?
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt thank you again! I have nice wheels and coilovers for my d16y7 sedan. I need to swap the head to a y8 and lock in the vtec soon and then get it tuned
Making hose SUUUCKS! I don’t envy you. Although small hose like an-4 or -3 is like 10x worse lol.
Ugh!!! Tell me about it!! They're a pain in the butt! To be honest, I've heard people say the smaller it is the harder it is, but I beg to differ lol, I feel like the-4 and -6 is the easiest lol
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt Maybe I can convince you to do it for me the next time I need to do some an-4 >.
Props doing the work yourself
Thank you!
i think im in love...
It would have been beneficial to cover the turbo inlet before making grinding and jig saw micro shavings. Just trying to help👍
I might have to do this myself. With the new mani I'm getting I really need the room on the integra
Awesome! Good luck!
Very clean build and nice install. Thanks for the guide and video. Very helpful!!! What is the blue tubular front bars you have ?
Like your video keep it up from Trinidad
Well girl you're very talented
Thank you!
Just a small tip, cover the inlet on the turbo lol. Don’t want shards in there
Thank you.
Nice going Aisha, love it.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Here 5 years later looking to run a tucked radiator. I have a similar setup
1997 Honda civic
But my engine is reversed temporarily
B18 gsr head
B16a2 block
Turbo setup so I’m having the same struggle for space
Once again, beautiful 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Donovan McDonald thank you!
Keep up the good work from trini pr in upstate New York
Thank you! Lots of Trini people around!
Real life fast and furious Mia right here. 😉
lol :)
Put some duct tape on your vise clamps, it will stop scratching the paint. Really nice build the car looks great.
Thank you! I appreciate the suggestion. I will try that next time.
Beautiful setup
Awesome DIY and great work! Question, do you know if this setup would work if you had AC and still had the condenser and fan for the AC?
Thank you!! This setup will probably NOT work with the OEM condenser and fan. You'd have to find an aftermarket condenser.
Dope.. you got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you!
Seriously, you have to wonder about the folks who gave thumbs down on this video...
Lol.. Thank you, I appreciate that statement. But unfortunately there are always going to be people like that. I don't let it bother me :)
Great install very helpful
Andre Barnes thank you!
Awesome Video!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Sick car btw!!! #HondaFam
I'm from ST. Thomas! One Island away from ST. John!
Keep up the video!!! 🔥
Thank you!
I typically do not like Hondas because a lot of people who own them do nonsensical pep boys modifications to them. But your Honda is pretty cool looking.
Thank you!
awesome job lady power
pedro a thank you!
When she calls you and tells you she has something on sexy and when you go home and see her in her safety glasses and doing a radiator tuck on the Honda. 😍
LOL!
looks good and the car does to.
This was a well put together video thankyou so much for your time invested in making this. your kinda badass but i bet you already know that :)
Aisha, big up yuself!
Agent Smith yess-“i” thank you!
Sick engine and engine bay. Love the tuck radiator. Dont think they make one for 2014 honda acccord.
Wow love your videos!
Thank you!
Props to u ma u was so detailed that's what's up I love to see females into the game.that hatch looks crazy clean to nice 😎😎🤟💪💪💪
Came out nice, thx for the info
Thank you!
I would love to built a civic with you aisha❤❤
I might have to get this radiator but I’ll need a goose neck adapter for my wastegate.
i'm JGott I was a little worried I’d have to change my dump tube angle but it ended up working out. Good luck if you decide to do it!
oh snap, i forgot about the location of my dump tube! thanks for bringing that up, its been a minute since i worked on my turbo integra. yeah i would definitely need to relocate that and replace it as well if i go with the goose neck adapter. ill have to hit up honda tech and a buddy of mine that lives need speed factory that has the same ramhorm setup as me in his teg to see what options i have to work with. just like you, im trying to find ways to lower temp and get a full core radiator inside of my car. thanks for the video and comment!
Im glad i just came across your page this video was very detailed. I have one question though. Are you running a turbo set up with no intercooler?
Thank you. I do have an intercooler. It sits right in front of the tuck radiator and under the bumper support beam. Take a look at my Instagram page, there's a pic on there with my bumper off.
Hey, I just want you to know you are very inspirational. You have a fantastic looking civic I applaud you. One thing I would like to ask could you tell me where you got your floor mats andpedals? Actually your car is a similar to the color I have chosen to paint my car. The color I have chosen is tangerine scream. It is a ford color on the focus.
Thank you! Appreciate it. The Foot Plates are from Checkered Sports, the pedals are from R Fab. Good luck with your build.
NICE!
Thank you!
Nice
Thank you 🙏
Nice install!
Lol I love u girl no disrespect to u or ur ol man but it is so rear to see that "a woman that knows her way around cars n motors" doin almost everything ur self again no Disrespect!!! U GO GIRL!!!!
Thank you! lol
sick ek
Thank you!
awesome job great vid
Thank you!
Awesome video, have the same mishimoto 3 core and have issues with temp on freeway, creeps up to 210 when going uphill and in boost. How are your Temps when driving? In boost? Mine in down stays around 187 but I only have issues on freeway
Hello im from Indonesia 👍
Hello! Thank you for watching!
Awsome video you did a great job what are you using as a coolant overflow tank
Thank you! I was using a Mishimoto overflow, but the bracket broke on me and it was dragging on the ground and it got damaged. I got a new one, which I will be doing an update video to this tuck radiator install.
