Help! My CRX is in pieces but, it will be o"K" GearspeedEF7 Project Log
Hey guys...as most of you already know...the CRX is going K. I am hoping to produce a nice revamp of the car. Here is the project in its beginning stages and I will try and update as much as possible given this is hard on finances big time...especially with 2 kids! 
I would like to thank everyone who is lending a hand on this project: Hasport, Hondata, Password JDM, ICB Motorsports, Mr D's Auto Body, Memory Fab, Panda Garage, Autolink Motorworks, Sport Car Motion, Evolution Industries, Drag Cartel, and of course a big thanks to Whitfield Racing for all the custom fabrication that will be done and allowing me to use their shop and employees 
Here is a before shot
Old B20vtec setup....still miss it
Empty engine bay....time for a little fabbing!
Looks scary but, we will be doing some special tricks so it was necessary
Hmmmm

the engine bay in a JDM ef8 is bigger than the USDM CRX.

No it isn't the hood is slightly higher, but it is only high enough to clear a K20 with the webbing cut. Ask me how I know. I have a JDM hood with a K20A. The core support is different adding a little more in the radiator area, but it doesn't help the engine/hood clearence at all. Futhermore the mount kit will have to be modified to work with the EF8 chassis. You would be better off doing it to a non-SiR model. It can be done, and has been done before, but it's a little cleaner going with the lower model chassis w/o modification.

Wrong.
And doesn't he have an EF7 anyway??
K24's are something like 19mm taller.

I hope so that will make things allot easier for him then, and a cleaner install.
