well, i haven't done a k swap yet, so i can't say for sure, but i haven't seen anyone with a k that was NOT sticking out of the hood, ITB's or not..

My guess is, that hood will be your best shot at it clearing, but my thought is: there is not one yet. the k sits really high and soo far to the passenger side that even the sir hood cant clear. Someone should chime in though that has actually done it in an EF..

This guy might be your only hope... https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

Yep. Fiber Images SiR style hood will, assuming you don't have a k24, a frankenmotor (k20/24) or ITB's or a supercharger.

Any of the above require a custom cowl or hood.

That ViS hood you listed might do it if you trim the underwebbing, but I'd reserve judgment until you find someone who can confirm that.

The thing about FiberImages is they have no underwebbing, so theres no need to cut.

Well you failed to mention that you had a RBC.In that case no it will not clear with a RBC.You will have to cut the hood for a RBC but a stock PRB manifold will clear with the Fiber images hood.Theres only one CRX ive seen that cleared the RBC and has A/C but he used custom mounts.Hes from the phillpines

if you put spacers in the rear to prop the hood a lil and cut a portion of the skeleton off the inside of the hood it will most likely clear.
