Default How much room for a turbo?

For those of you with 5th gen civics, how many inches are there between the head and the radiator?

Thanks

Josh

I'd say 2 feet across the car by 1 foot in to the car, 2 SQUARE feet.

There is plenty of room, this picture unfortunately doesn't show it too well:

The manifold is the key. What manifold are you planning on using? Equal length or a conventional log style?

Right now I have a log style, with the kicker being the engine is not in the car, building it up over time! I may just end up getting a kit by the time i actually put it in the car
