I was wondering if i would need to use an aftermarket hood for clearance issues. I have a 89 crx dx and this coming month my B18c1 is going to get swapped in i have read around and have gotten mixed information, i dont want my header and oil pan to scrape. And if i do need to get an aftermarket hood, does anyone know a place that sells a carbon fiber hood that has the stock shape except instead of the middle slanting inwards it pops out like the jdm hoods. Thanks

 

If your that worried get a JDM hood but you won't have a clearnace issue thats gonna be drastic the only time it might scratch or hit the hood is during a hard launch and banging gears

 

Your best bet would be to get a ZC hood. Either a stock ZC hood from Japan, or a CF ZC hood from somewhere. I have a B16, and I'm going to use washers to bring mine done a little. Mine just barely rubs though.

 

Yours rubs? Which kit are you using? A B16 shouldn't be that close to the hood.

 

thanks for the input guys. do any of you know where i could get a JDM ZC hood? or a ZC cf hood? thanks
