Been told by 2 people now their SiR hoods wont fit, im looking for people who have physically done this swap and closed their hoods totally normaly to chime in and give details.

 

[K20EF8]

ie what hood you used oem SiR, VIS USDM SiR style, VIS JDM or Fiber images, if you cut the webbing etc, the dipstick and oilcap seems like they might sit highest, input would be greatly appreciated. I have a VIS JDM hood.

i would also like to know if the SIR Hood will fit over the K series... thinking about buying one but i dont wont to cut it all up... someone please reply...

 

[overlap..]

Looks like it wont fit. we should get together and pitch in to have a certain mold made or something, i need one too.

[Rywire]

Yup, it shuts!

 

[89civichatch]

[tony4380]

[Ef8sirJunkie]

I know Ryan you cut yours out but i dont i wont the full hood i know fiber images makes skinless hoods underneth but also i dont wont carbonfiber i wont some weight on the front end when i go turbo.... so far on the hood for me im fucked im to damn picky ...

Honestly, I'd buy the Fiber Images SiR style hood and paint it to match the car..

The front end of the car will be heavy enought with the swap and the turbo kit..a cf hood isnt necessary but either way just cut the under portion

Yea but i Dont wont a CF Hood and i Don't wont to cut a stock hood out im trying to find an alternative way thers gotta be a hood somewhere that will close completly... has anyone tryed the ZC Hood??? Cutting a SIR Hood will be my last resort if i cant find something thats works...

 

[tony4380]

a ZC hood would be the same as USDM or no??? just cut the bracing on the SIR hood.

you wont be finding another way, you need a hood thats raised, if u have a usdm front end u will need to either cut it or buy a CF hood made for a usdm car that is SiR style.........ZC hood has its bump on the opposite side anyways.

I agree. I would love to have my crx looking as stock and as "sleeper" as possible. :up:

Stock USDM hood fits with some modifications and ep3 idler pulley being used... I should have some pics soon...

I find that very hard to believe, if you look at swaps from the front and side angle it appears as though no hood with any dips whatsoever would fit

why don't you just have someone or your self bend the hood. there is a crx on this website that has a stock hood that closes and it's turboed.All he did was made his own little bulge in the middle of the hood. It kind of reminds me of a mitsubishi eclipse hood. :up:

Possible solution. Buy the Tien hood props. They riase the back of the hood up and may allow a few inches to spare. look up any car on H-T that have them installed and you will see what I'm talking about
