so im boosting the old crx and well the compressor side outlet comes close like half an inch from the stock radiator with out the ac fan and stuff. so i pulled it, slapped an ek half cut in and sut my top hose to lean back the radiator, so now there is a foot gap from where the radiator orginally stood and where its leaned too. so there could be a great deal of air escapage. do you guys think a custom little shroude would be necessary. i may not be spelling that right

 

its not needed. its only for looks to make a cover for it. unless that is also how your securing it to the T bar.

this has been done many times with out shroud's

 

it has been done without a shroud but apparently some people still have problems. check out this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1973252
