Oh yeah, you can pick up a used Integra one for cheap I bet. Try a local junkyard or used parts store. They are full length, but not double thickness like a Fluidyne for example.

Yeah, the full length Fluidyne is going to be a LOT more volume than you ever dreamed of LOL.

im putting a vtec head on my non-vtec block right now, hopefully will be finished by the end of the weekend
i too opted to use a honda headgasket instead of something aftermarket
but
ive heard re-using your existing head studs is bad because the boost stretches them and you shouldnt use them twice
1 of my friends blew his gasket after building the bottom end, and he thinks the culprit was the head studs
i didnt want to take any chances so i just bought some new studs, 2.40 each and 10 total
u might want to look into that just to be safe
good luck with your rebuild
and let us know how it goes

You don't have to use another fan, but if you are concerned with the added heat from your turbo it is a good idea to add another fan. I don't believe there would be a problem wiring it inline with your existing fan.

I picked up a compression tester tonight so I am checking my engine tomorrow night to see how bad the leak is. I think it must be pretty bad. We'll see!

I bought mine from Meijers for $25. It is a Sunpro unit. It works well.
