Thanks,
it's a 3 stage, not a stage 3. that means it has both the economy vtec(vtec-e) and the "normal" vtec on the same head. it makes the same max horsepower as the other vtec heads, but with better fuel mileage. i'm using the d17 crank because it has a longer stroke, which means more displacement and torque.

Looks great, very tidy. Is there anything obstructing air flowing through it in front of the shroud? Like is the bumper cover or head light going to be in the way?

the bumper cover and intercooler will block some of the flow, but it can pull plenty of fresh air from below those

geeeeeeezzzz, that had to have been a major pain. It will look amazing though, I'm sure. How long do you think it really took you?

That's a chubby little harness and a chubby little radiator. Your work is clean
