Ok, I'm kinda confused here. I've read that with a H2B in a EF the valve cover would be hitting the hood, so you're going to have to do some modifications or get a different hood, and the SiR hood won't work either, from QuartersportDrag. Then yesterday I found this site:

http://www.explicitspeedperfor....html

With his crx and with his H2B Kit, with the stock hood, he's about 3/8" from hitting the valve cover.

Can anyone backup this information? Any info is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

 

My H22 Crx uses the H trans... no H2B here...i like my DD

That sir, is the owner of explicitspeedperformance. That's his site and his H .

To the op: There is no myth, H2B in EF's tend to fit like complete ***. You have the choice between ground clearance, and hood clearance. Most people take the former over the latter .

Some people choose to use the mounts provided by hasport to mount a gsr in a crx and there kits aim towards ground clearence more then hood clearence so my hood is actulaly spaced with just a gsr in it i can imagine how much higher an H22 block would sit but i would imagine a fiber images SIR style hood with spacers might clear but i havnt seen anyone attempt this yet.

 

The hump in the sir hoods isn't wide enough for it to help clear the vc

 

The explicit speed car is just a straight H22 swap, not an H2B.

QSD made a CRX that cleared the stock hood, but they used custom mounts and the engine was like barely an inch off of the ground, seriously.

Trust me, they don't fit either a stock or SIR hood without modifications.

It really wouldn't take much. Metal or even a fiberglass molded piece just large enough to cover the valve cover and intake manifold.

That or a low-profile valvecover

 

Here is what I would do if i was a DIYer H2B EFer

go to the junkyard pick up 2 $25 EF hoods to make one, cut the center section out about 1" or so around the dip down in the EF hood, have the cut out middle section of one hood and prop it up about 2" or so up to the person above the stock hood make some sides for it out of metal, weld it up. Cut the middle section out of the hood once everything is welded together and brace if needed... the front would have the OEM contour but just propped up so the slant in the front would go up like OEM but higher lol...

still doesn't help the guys running the Skunk2 manifold.


I'd rather see something smaller and lighter personally. Adding more steel to a factory steel hood will be too heavy for competition IMO.

Forgot about that. A well-fitting fiberglass cowl hood would be nice

Thank you for the pic? I see now. Well, if no hood works, and the only way is to go with a cowl hood, that'll lose the sleeper look to it then.
Hmmmmmm.......

It's just something you have to sacrifice for the ground clearance and axle angles. This is by no means a practical swap for the EF/DA chassis. Think I care though? Not a bit

look at that side profile picture, you would need to space it like 5 inches up. plus it looks like the hood in the pictures has washers proping it up already.

true

 

Correct, in the picture the hood is spaced up about a half inch at least. I'll show you some pictures from when I just "set" the hood on before any cutting of the webbing or anything. This is just the stock hood "sitting" on the valvecover.
