Default Turbo intake side very close to radiator - is it a problem?

My turbo intake side and intercooler coupler / pipe is like 0.25 inches away from hitting my radiator - is it okay like this or should I try to move the radiator a little bit. I can post a pic if you guys want...

My intake is damn near on the fan/radiator. Just make sure you can get a filter on your turbo and you should be ok. It isn't the best for IAT's but they aren't at dangerous levels by any means.

Bro its not hitting, its perfectly fine. There are always going to be tight fits along the way when dealing with an h22 swapped civics.

Great - I guess I will check it after gettin tuned to see if it did hit since they will be gettin on it at WOT. Oh and you are right about the tight fits in H22 Civic - makes you wanna curse up a storm workin on it but gotta love Honda's "Big Block" hehe

No, since this an H22A in an EG, I just HAD to use aftermarket mounts. I am using HCP Mounts and they have been holding up pretty good so far...
