okay so i'm going turbo and i was looking at the engine bay and the only thing i'm worried about is the clearance between the fan and the actual turbo. i'm using a drag manifold with a t3t4 turbo and was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with clearance and if you did how you got around it. the kit gets here monday and will be installed next week. also is there anyway to get piping made for a CAI of some sort or should i just use a short ram style? will it make any difference?

 

Get an eg radiator ! that will solve theat problem

 

you could buy slim aftermarket fans, or get pusher fans which go in front of the radiator

you wont be able to buy an "intake for the turbo" whether its short ram or cai. either way it will have to be custom made for your setup, unless its included with the turbo kit. so, if you're skilled at welding, you could rig a cai, but with an intercooler it wouldnt really make much difference if its cai or short ram.

 

I"m running a DRAG kit on an LS block w/ placeracing mounts. I'm still using the stock radiator, though I had to smash in the lower radiator support to let the rad. shift forward to give myself enough cleanace. SO in the car the rad. sits likes this " / ".

I'm running one slimline fan in the stock postition.

I had to dent the front x-member to clear the downpipe.

Clearance sucks

I have a 90 CRX with a b16a and Place Racing mounts and I have a Drag manifold with a t3/t4 and I have my stock rad and I just used a pusher type fan. The turbo sits very close to the rad but it never hit it. If you want more room jsut use Hasport mounts and use a 92-95 Civic rad.
