Your probably going to need to go with a half civic radiator and possibly loose AC with that manifold.You might get away with slim fans,but itl be close..Im already sitting on my fans with my AC compatible cast manifold.

or i could be completely wrong..ha but looks good so far.

good luck with everything man. im probably gonna use your experiences to do my own sometime in the hopefully near future.

how much has everything costed so far???

wayy too much I haven't added it up yet and probably wont I can tell you that there are a bunch of expensive parts here. I'll probably do a list of mods once I get a few things done today and you can do some price quoting and math

yeah I put the manifold in there the other day it should clear the radiator though I plan on getting a new one before the car moves. howver the power steering is going to be close but looks like I will be able to keep it where its at right now

well made it out there today spent a whole bunch of time removing my exhaust headers to muffler. frigging rust kills time and metal. anyways broke some bolts went to home depot and figured out that I need to eaither make a new front motor mount or modify mine to fit the 3" dp or the compressor housing.

does anyone have pictures of stinker504's engine bay? searched the web with little to no results. I am trying to find a pic that shows his front motor mount. found a pic but the shots angle is wrong LOL

lol also dropped my exhaust on my head when taking off the last hangar and gave myself a nice bump on the forhead

some people use the NRG damper there,or cut some metal off the bracket..Just make sure you clear it,It ate right through my aluminum IC pipe within months,had to put an steel exhaust pipe there.

I think that I am going to have my dads friend engeneer a new mount to weld up for this. expect something "creative" and different

no too shure that I want to just go with tourqe dampers in the front

Just to show you guys n maybe one gal how bad these sumsabishez wanna cuddle.

Here it is after removing the front engine mount. Looks Like I am eaither going to have to up and over the dp with a custom home built mount or under it. no matter what if I want this to work I am going to need a custom mount or do something ghetto witch I will scrap this manifold and get a better one before I do ANYTHING GHETTO!

personally I think that I am going to go up and over the dp then have the dp run out the passenger side under the tranny or back around again to under the oil pan sigh.

Annother thought that I had was to make a huge motor mount and have the dp run right into a 5-6 inch hole (welded in pipe) through the mount. Since that part will not move because that section of the mount will be attatched to the engine. hope I am not being too confusing.

 

[cantafordaccord]

So basicly today I got a few more bolts and parts off as well as brainstormed for a while.

once this crap is figured out I will be able to move on and get more done.

gotta get knocked down before you can get back up I guess
