I'm in the process of turbo charging my Type R. I'm running the REV Hard Manifold and a Turbonetics 60-1 HIFI turbo. So far to get it to fit I've had to notch the block a bit and trim the fan shroud and even barely "clip" the very tip off of each of the fan blades. I know the FAL fan would have worked fine but I'm low on funding right now
I wanted to see if that seems to be normal for other boosted Type R's.
Thanks.

Normal for all integs.

 

yep i trimmed my fan blades a bit too

 

are you guys running your turbos on a stock fuel system?

 

Any R's out there running on stock internals and stock head gasket? who's been doin it the longest?

im runnin the stock head gasket and compression, i havent driven the car yet cause im waiting for my hondata 2b to show up. but if i throw a rod on start up i'll let ya know

 

yeah,that sounds normal.buy spal fans.they are only 2" deep and are much better than fal.only$200

 

I been running stock headgasket/ stock compression 7psi for almost a month no problems.

 

Fall fan's I had to put one in because the intake pipe for the filter would "NOT" fit at all

 

stock c/r, stock headgasket, daily driven for 8k+ miles @.45bar with no problems.

 

Thanks for the info guys.
My little project should be done here in the next week or so. And yes I'm going against all that is holy and running a stock block, head gasket etc. and a .45 bar spring
