I will update the thread and pics as the parts come in... Comments and suggestions (Suspension, exhaust, IC piping, radiator, wheels, etc...) welcome.



I decided to go with the 3 Pulley setup so that way I can save from cutting out this on the hood, plus it looks alot cleaner.. notice the clearance with the 3 washers on each bolt and BDL Industries Alt Pulley...:up:


I also upgraded to the 99-00 Brake Booster for better braking.. I felt I might as well since I have Integra suspension all the way around..



I am going to try to do this one as clean as possible regarding the wires...Im trying out this wire tuck idea I guess..



I was going to use this front end but since the sensors on the top of the throttle body and the Vacuum port for the Brake booster hose sits too high, I have to seek an alternative route for the front end..There is NO WAY that any stock OEM or JDM hood will fit this swap with an RBC manifold..

See that 2.4 Block over there on the left?... Its just waiting for my Tax Return I think I will build it up... This Stock setup is pretty much just to test the limits of it on more of a conservative level for Daily driving and track. I'm shooting for 450+hp on stock internals on Race gas...Thanks Everyone....

Not so much the hose for it, but the actual tube that sticks out of the RBC manifold for this hose. I already accidentaly threw out the hose anyway...:(

Wow man I didnt know you have a full race crx haha. Looks like things are coming together quite well. I cant wait till my stuff comes in. I should be getting my stuff in on the beginning of the new year when I get back in town. And when I do ill have to throw together a little build thread too...of my deer beaten eg since I hit another deer the other day. Thats 2 in a month. So once this car gets boosted I doubht it will see night time or deer season driving. :(

Lookin nice! So the RBC IM is outta the question on stock sir hood, ey? Ya, I figured:down:

Keep it up man:up:
Thanks... But ummm yeah... with that RBC its out of the manifold. Custom it is... Im also looking to run an actual Slave cylinder and get rid of the Cable. Anyone done that in an EF before with helpful info, pics, writeup?

1320WhtRex,

Yes, another sweet ass KR-X!

Nice front end, thats too bad about fitment problems. :mad:

Keep them pics coming bro:up:
Yeah... Tell me about it... I still want to use it but I dont want to have to Cut up the hood section.. Rather just do that with an OEM hood and make the middle custom... It's still up in the air though... I did get my Slave Cylinder today (Thanks bigcalidave) so I now I will need to get a Civic or Integra CMC and install it. I will take pics of this as well..

Very nice. I hope you get your IM situation straightened out. The xcessive motorsports one might do the trick for you. From the looks of things I think it will fit. I'm gonna call them for dimensions.
Thanks.... I really would like to have the Throttle body on the Other side though, which makes the Intercooler piping situation much easier.... Let me know when you get the specs of this IM.... maybe I might switch over.. It's gonna be pain to get this one out though. :eek:

Did you run with the 31inch belt? or did you need to get a larger one to suit the washer/pulley setup?
Not sure of the exact size of it. I know the name is Gatorback from Goodyear. I will post the part number when I get home.. Project as for now is going really slow... I started school and am going Full time plus working 40 hrs a week..:eek: Starting to get depressing.. Im waiting on my Manifold, DP and Dumptube Jesse@AFI so I can at least get it out of here for piping...Oh well.
