i have a k20a2 swaped on a 1990 crx and my hood wont clear it closes but the passenger side has a big gap between the fender and the hood.
what can i do to make it clear or atleast make it
look cleaner??

 

get a different hood i have heard the jdm sir hood will clear but you may need one with a bigger hoodscoop or better yet sell the k series and go d series....just kidding...kind of

 

Check out some K-series build thread in here or visit http://www.k20a.org.

From what I've seen, it does look like you can use the JDM hood because it's raised in the middle.

Yep.

Or you could go the ghetto route if you've run out of money and aren't worried about your windsheild - SHIMMING!

Or custom cowling. Either would work for you, although might not look the best.

I'm still envious of you K guys.

 

Hey hey nothing is wrong with a few washers

 

Imagine how many washers you'd have to buy... Might as well get the SiR hood.

All I needed on my lsvtec.

Yea, you are right... 4 washers I had laying around is cheaper then a new hood.

Personally I like my c/f zc hood

 

ok i forgot to mention i have a sir hood i even trimmed the inside of it but it still doesnt clear i even put washers but it still hits idk what to do??

I like my CF ZC hood too. Got it sitting right now also.

I'd be worried about having the latch not holding quite right at the angle from too much shimming though.

i will post a pic soon need a camera first
well i put 3 washers on each side still hits the
valve cover=[[

 

It should work, normally you have to cut out most of the webbing out of the SIR style hood, but it should shut fine after that. Your using the Hasport mounts correct?

 

yes i did cut out the webbing but it still wont clear all the way and yes hasport mounts is what im using

 

but thats the gap

 

Get a pic of the motor and the webbing part of the hood also......its kinda hard to tell but it looks like it goes down and not up in the center like the SIR style hood. Need better pics though.....what kind of hood is that anyway?

 

op

pics of engine and webbing soon
well i need help on the rear brakes
i want to convert them to disc brakes but
idk what parts i need from the integra

 

Keep it off ha ha. Get a stock hood and put a hole in it and get a wrx hood scoop and make it look sick. Or that what i would do or any cool looking scoop.
