I've been searching forever and can't find anything decent.

I need to find some sort of universal hood hump(3" tall), to clear the engine in my Civic.

Anybody have any ideas? Would like a RS style scoop, but fully closed....just a really clean hump I can either weld into place, or bolt into place. I'd hate to have to make a custom fiberglass hood

Thanks!

 

AVS might have something that'll work.

 

what year civic and what motor. how much clearance do you actually need?

 

95 hatch with J32A2...need about 3 inches of clearace, 8 inches back from the tip of the hood.

I'll look into AVS, thanks

 

pictures might help

 

check out a place called road race engnering i got my carbon scoop from there.

 

Its so tough to find a clean hump....either super ricey or old school muscle.

This MAAAAY work



Or a roof scoop from AVS like this


No new pics...here's a vid. You can see how much I need This car was very clean, OE Japanese parts and tasteful mods...used to have a Spoon hood, but that won't fit now. I want the hood to blend nicely, if possible.

 

holy **** that is crazy awesome

 

id love to see a video of that thing on the street/strip

 

v6

 

Wow! Why haven't I seen this swap before? Were you the first to do it?

 

No there's a couple of us...

this is why I didn't post pics Anybody else?

 

same engine?....



ehhh maybe not thought it might either way its badass

 

wtf is that thing?? Either way, that is a SUPER clean hybrid :O

 

im pretty sure that is a VW motor the VR6.

 

there are lower oem intake manifolds off of j35 and j30 engines that might help out with clearance inssues, but I am not 100% sure about how much lower they will sit or possible performance advantages/disadvantages....



hope this helps...

 

Yeah...the Odyssey uses the one piece plenum...it's all for different EGR passages and intake air butterflies... It'd be nice to get a custom hemispherical manifold made

 

damn cant wait to see videos of it at the strip/streets

 

i would say to measure where it is going to be on on the hood, then cut the section out of a stock hood, once the hood has a hole big enough to clear the motor, bolt the thing down then have a body shop custom fab a fiberglass hump over it that way it looks somewhat like the hump on an eclipse hood, just a big bump outta nowhere

 

nice swap

 

holy ****

 

Just notch the hood out and have that badboy sticking up through it. Function>Form

 

yeah thats a vw engine my bad really similar looking tho but dude thats a serious bad *** swap! showed my guys this post mad respect yo good luck with the hood. I haven't found anything that looks like it will fit that. a custom one would be your best bet for sure, props bro.

 

VR6 in MK3 Jetta above fyi!

As far as the hood bulge, have you given any thought to chopping the bulge out of an 95-99 eclipse hood, maybe?

 

LOL...getting there slowly
