Can I ask a legit question without getting burned? ok good. What is the purpose of the tilted up hood?

clearance and to try and keep the motor cool..i have the same the same setup only boosted and unfortunaly i have to do the same thing.

[98blackcivic]

holy shit bro!

[TattooedFish]

Nice

Ok I can understand clearance but keeping it cool ? Isn't that what radiators are for lol. But i guess if its used for a meaningful purpose then:goodjob:

Stock radiator + stock engine = fine

stock radiator+ larger swapped engine never ment to go in that chassis+revving the piss out of it= we better do something a lil extra to keep temps in check

If i had to guess :D

Yea good point lol.

[Elbow]

Tilted hoods don't do jack shit for Hondas unless the car is parked, but then why not just pop the hood to let some heat out?

technically while the car is moving forward at a high rate of speed that small gap from the tilt actually sucks in cooler air kinda like if you were to crack the windows a bit while driving, i cant think of the exact nerdy name for it but it does in fact cool your motor... but does this specific car need it? doubt it.

EXCEPT what is there to cool right there? Nothing. Unless you're running ITBs with a good setup directing air down there you're not doing much, you may get a little cooler engine bay temps but I think I remember reading in a magazine them testing it on a Honda and having no real result.

[schia89]

It's tilted up because the h2b sits straight up instead of tilted back like a straight h22 swap. With it being straight up it has clearance issues with the hood.

[DarKStaR]

ACTUALLY the reason the hood is tilted is because of the H2B kit. The QSD kit sits the swap at a certain angle to where you have to prop your hood in the back, an EK is the only car you dont have to.

Big Mac, i forsee your intake tube killing your power...

Not a damn thing. Don't listen to these fools. It's all word of mouth with no actual proof. Its a 1.XL 4cylinder with TONS of room. How freaking hot can it get under there? The lifted hood just looks like it was in an accident.

If they are having clearance issues, customize your hood so it doesn't look so cheaply done.

Btw-I like the silver with the red engine bay. It "pops".

-Ant.

The only other way it can be done is to cut your hood out.....

[Elbow]

Or make a custom hood.

Although I can't imagine one that wouldn't look weird. lol

[DarKStaR]

exactly lol, would look really ricey haha

[big mac]

Only reason hood is propped is for clearance with the h2b swap. I don't like this but it's either that or a cowl hood or a cut hood lol. No way I would prop I hood if it was just a b swap haha

[*EFilliated*]

how much u end up making(HP) if u dont mind me asking. figured it has cams due to the cam gears

[Black4DrEK]

Intake tube = fail

[chris89hatch]

i like how people go from the car to a whole theory on what a tilted hood does.. lol... anyways!! Car is looking good bro i wanna see it in person but never have time to get off work and had out there

It's IA, the title and OP never mean anything within five minutes. lol

[Genji-Sama]

This is sexy, definitely much nicer this color than red :goodjob:

[StarBwoy]

all this shit over a hood -__- car looks good bro btw it would look sick if it had a better lip and sum offsets

[h22 jones]

Looks good man . Im not a fan on the tilted hood but thats a sacrifise you have to make.

To the idiots that think he did it just to be cool and acowl hood r the whole freaking center gone out of the hood get real. Its not that bad and alot nicer then some bull shit. The only thing i dont like is it gives the set up away everybody knows its h2b . Id drop the motor with spacers and try and get the hood to shut but i own a ek some im good to go lol.

[Black4DrEK]

^^

Yup EK chassis, clear good..

Us EG owners, arent soo lucky

[big mac]

lol i just now noticed that intake tube lol. it has another one now. been low on funds but getting tuned in the morning. it has stock cams for now but i had the gear laying around i will get yall numbe4rs tomorrow.
as for the lip is a cf type r lip. better than the all common mugen hahahaah. ill have better pics tomorrow as well

[DustnU]

Car looks straight with the hood propped. I'm with the other guy on the lip though and the wheels, the rpf1 replicas looked better.

[*EFilliated*]

same shit still slow. lol j/k


lol accualy 2.3

[gateeb]

haters will hate..Do you bro!!

[0\s accord]

i was alwayz told it helps let hot air out....which keeps the motor cooler...and i rather space my hood than cut a dam hole in it...

[big mac]

of coarse its slow its a honda

[*EFilliated*]

:goodjob:


of coarse its slow its a honda

[Cynical 1]

looks good...

and a far as the hood - looks good, plus it's your car... IMO it looks better than the hood it had when it was red...
