I wonder if a sohc in a civic has more clearance in the front compared to bseries.
Btw ..what is running the oil lines like? Any pictures of you running the oil drain and feed line on the turbo and installed in the engine bay?
EDIT: More curious of seeing a 96-00 Civic with Bseries
not sohc...not that i have anything against sohc's

To tell you the truth it is ok most times. But really we haven't got any hot weather yet. The other day it was the hottest temps since I got my new setup running and it was the first time I have seen my cars temp get a little higher than normal. The turbo parts generate alot of heat. The main problem is under hood heat. That is why I wrapped my manifold. And it is still hot in ther. The condensor gets alot of heat soak when the car is standing still with no air coming in. It's almost like I need a big vent to let the hot air out. The next project I do will have a nice hood vent. And just to keep it real I will never use a A/C manifold on any of my cars again even though I live in Miami, it is a pain in the *** to work on, very little space. Oh well I'll just drive at nights from now on.

Re: A/C compatable manifold (VtecCarHauler)
Thats to bad about your set up. I live in hawaii an a/c is important here.
It looked like you were winning the battle of turbo vs a/c. I am going to try my best to acomadate both.

Re: A/C compatable manifold (katoeh2o)
Im sure the humidity levels in Miami have a lot to due with the efficiency of the condenser being able to release heat and produce decent subcooling...the turbo etc. just adds insult to injury!
Hopefully I will have better luck in California's milder climate
