ramhorn manifold in crx?
i am planning to run a built b16 this summer. i have plans to buy a crx shell(should be a fun project) but i did some research and found that people have problems with fitment...i am having second thoughts on a crx as a shell. i know i will have to run a 1/2 size radi and may have to cut the ribs on the hood. i attched a pic of the manifold i want to run...its a bwr. will i have issues with fitment? i dont mind cutting a bit but i dont want it to become a big issue...
anyone have any personal expirence with ramhorns in a ef?
thanks

Crx though very fun car poss a lot of fitment problems being under the hood is so small. It can be done but it's a pain in the ***. Easier to work with a newer shell, but it's personal preference

Gotta try it and see, man.. no other way to tell you. Some things may have to be switched around or migrated elsewhere. Check some images of CRX engine bays that have a similar manifold and in them and see what was changed.
Good luck.. Nothing to bump..

pretty sure full race makes a manifold that fits with just a half size radiator. im sure i will have a ton of fun trying to fit everything in mine since im running a dart tall deck block thats 15mm higher.

As stated, it's very tight with any turbo setup on a B-Series swapped CRX. I've had to remove quite a bit of metal from hood, even though it's raised, rad support area, and other spots for charge piping. However, I've seen guys with B swaps run a full radiator with a log manifold.

Re: ramhorn manifold in crx?
i can attest to the crx being a pain in the peter with fitment issues man i wanted a ramhorn, and well the hood wouldnt close so i opted for a topount.
i am currently working with a precision 750hp intercooler, and well now i dont have a front bumper, and looking at a civic. i love my crx, buy it doent lover anything made for boost.
