I need about an 1" of clearance for my setup to clear properlly...
The front 2 manifold runners are hitting.





will the Fiber images USDM SIR hood do the trick?

I can get it to the safety latch, but it's just not enough room to latch securly with enough room for engine movement.

Thanks for any help!

I wish I could help you, but anyway.


Nice setup

 

i think i might clear with the fiber image, i'm also planning to get that hood too, but i think it goes for around $500-600

 

Hrmmm...thanks

Well if it's my only option, I'll pay it.
I will never cut a giant hole in my hood.

 

sorry to have to add that, but, mayby a hood with a dragon nose will help,

I know, I know, it'll look like ****, but that is the only thing i can think about right now... ya know the ZC hood will give you a slight more clearance on the timing belt side... other that that....

Hope this helped out a bit

I think it will fit. The SiR hood has the bumped center section which looks like it would give you the clearance you need. Oh by the way that is one badass setup

 

Well if your thinking of ordering a carbon fiber hood, if your looking at Fiber Images hoods you should read this first. It talks about the underneath of the hood. Its a good write up about the styles of there hood now.

mb products makes a fiberglass hood skin for the 88-91 that would clear, butit requires hood pins on all four corner.

 

Wasup Bryson, always a plesure to see your ZC (SethZC )

 

I have a carbonfiber SiR hood on my CRX.
It does give you more room. I just went and checked my hood, and if you cut the under hood stuff, it seems like you would have plenty of room for the manifold.
If you could meassure how high the manifold sticks up, I could meassure mine and
give you some idea of how much room it gives.
Take a pic with a ruler next to it or something like that. Don't use the valve cover as a guide since it changes from car to car.

 

I am having the same problems with hood clearance. I found a place here that will make a custom carbonfiber hood. They are going to make it to clear my motor and turbo. I will let you know how it turns out if you are interested.

that is gunna be FAST

 

My 89 CRX with the SiR front end with the b16a and place racing motor mounts i could stick a spray can cap ontop of the valve cover and it cleared there is about 1.25" to 2.25" more clearence that manifold would clear noprob the nose of the hood is bumped up too alot

 

Damn... everytime I see that Rex I love it more and more. haha... wow. You are absolutely insane, but you're the man!

Same here ... well.. bet both of you guys can already tell by my name.

 

whered you get the manifold made and how much was it that is a nice manifold
and that crx is =o

 

For you guy's that specified that you had the SIR carbon hood...what manufacture is it from?

I'm going to do a little more research about the Fiber Images hood, and if all looks good, that's what I'm gonna go with.

Oh, hey Seth and Project!

Did you read that write up I posted ?

 

I did look at some of the pages...which page has info on the Fiber images hood? So far all I've seen is VIS, VIS, VIS...ect

I've got shitty 56K so it takes forever.

 

O sorry, I think its all about VIS.

What makes you think that???

 

I hope it will be pretty quick. I want a full-race manifold that is designed like the b series manifolds. I can't go far enough forward to used the full race manifold that they have for the h22.

 

here is my 2 cents. i have a FI hood but not the SiR one. the clearance in the back is a lot more than stock but where it comes down and folds in the front by the bumper you have almost the same clearance as a stock hood. thats my info

if you wanted to hack your hood and put a carbon fiber duct/cowl, that might give you clearance and cooling... a guy I know here with an h22 and custom turbo manifold had to hack his cf hood because his engine bay was just too hot... turbo sits close to the hood, not down below. anyway, he hacked it up and is getting (or may already have) a vent from http://www.carbontrix.com . just a thought.
