Default Any EM2 Fitment issues for a K20A2 w/ RBC manifold?

Doe anyone have any experience modifiying and installing an RBC manifold onto a K20a2 dropped in an EM2 (03 civic coupe)? What kinda fitment issues did you encounter and what modifications did you have to make?

Depends entirely on the engine mounts you're running. Modifications required will range from nothing to cutting your radiator support.

Thank you. That is what I suspected. The brand of engine mounts would matter? Or more the material/stiffness of them? The cars being built for road racing, with that in mind (and the best suited mounts for that purpose), do you think there would be any fitment issues/mods? Or do you need more specific info?

Brand and model of mounts make a difference. I've got the prototype K24 mounts from Hasport, and I had to remove the majority of my radiator support.

prototype K24 mounts? on a K20?
Thanks for the info, I just realized that manifold modification may be restricted therefor prohiting the RBC. Ill have to make sure.

Who said I had a K20? I've got a K24A2 (I know your thread doesn't refer to them, but the mounting orientation doesn't alter much).
