i dont

 

no you will be fine

 

not sure about b20 vtec hood clearence but type R with stock hood had to be murdered. bashed up with a hammer and whatnot. the header will be good. that why jimfab is number one

 

up to the top for more opinions!

 

The hood clear clearance is similar to what you would get with a b18c motor. In other words, your hood probably won't close, mine wouldn't. If your car is lowered much or you're running stock or soft springs, it's likely your header will get dinged up some.

Solutions:
For the hood, a jdm conversion or a nice Fiber Images hood, which I think is the usdm configuration, but with the "bump". Or, you can use the ghetto fix like I did.



At the right angle, peeks out a little


From above, you can see them too


If nothing else, you can drive around with good hood clearance until you figure out what you're going to do about it for the cost of a few nylon spacers. (take your hood bolts with you to home depot and get longer ones that match the spacer width)

The header is tough, I'm not sure by your post if you already have the 4-1 but my friend went with a comptech in his hf w/b20bvtec, good clearance but still made a small dent one time.

Do you have any more picsof your car? It looks real real clean from those pics

 

Awesome man pretty good idea, where do i find the little inserts. and yes any more pics of your car and how the hell did you get the jdm itr steering wheel to work on your crx?

 

I'll take some more pics and post them later, maybe today.
I got the spacers in the hardware/washer section at home depot. They're about 1/4 inch and they popped my hood up enough to clear my b20vtec with the insulation intact and everything. I had planned on some sort of bumped hood down the road, the fiber images looks good, but I haven't gotten around to it. Actually don't mind the ghetto rigged look.

its not as ghetto as many people think. it really functions in two ways:
1) it will definetly give you that extra clearance you're looking to get so you can clear the head
2) also, it helps to dissipate a lof of head from your engine bay. Usually when most people are @ light w/ this, you can see the heat rising out from the back of the hood. When parked, with the car off, you can feel the heat rushing out the sides and the back of the hood. GREAT cheap cooling mod

 

ok now explain how you put that steering wheel in your ride

With the hydro trans conversion...... makes the motor sit higher

 

Tommy get those pics up!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well, this topic isn't about pics of my car, but since allmotorsircrx is the creator of this thread, I'll oblige

I only took this one shot tonight (dark out and all)



and a few I had on my sd card in my camera




Now, regarding the wheel. I've had a few people inquire about this so...
You have to carefully pry the center piece from your stock wheel, and I do mean carefully! this one was removed successfully a few times before it got screwed up. This gives you access to the nut that holds your wheel on.



This is the back of my stock wheel and it shows the notches which center it, or makes it upside down, whichever you prefer.



The 96-97 non-srs itr wheel I got has the same notches. It bolted on, but not as far as the stock wheel. I guess an explanation would be that the itr wheel is deeper and you won't get as many threads from the nut on. I felt comfortable with it and so did my friend who had one on his crx.
I hope that clears up some questions.
hmotorsonline had them here http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...20010

 

You have one of the nicest CRX's ever. What type of engine is in there?

 

Thanks for the . It's a b20vtec.

hood wouldn't close + spacers =
