I’m not overly worried. I’ll have one buddy familiar with turbo builds there and have a bunch others close by. We’ll get this monster in there.
Yeah haha nothing ever fits flush you got to work it in

It fits. It’s a PITA but it fits. More to follow. I’m gonna go to sleep though. Totally exhausted.

Looks good. Thanks for sharing and showing others that it fits PITA ass or not as mine ships today and hopefully get it installed within next two weeks. Will also post after installation.

Sucks that the stencil is partially blocked, it looks like they can push it down a bit more.
They can and the owner of Full-Race has already been notified. They will likely correct it for future shipments.

Any updates here?

Performance issues? Would this allow for a turbo swap?

I’m interested in cooling mods and this seems to be the biggest one available, and I would like to hit around 450HP over the next few years.

Probably won’t have a turbo swap for a good while.

Couple years? I am patient as from everything the tunes are saying is a new MAF and intake would be needed to hit stage 2. I have only changed exhaust, and everything else I’m waiting for a true stage two.

Looks good! How much extra work was involved with the install? Just cutting the pipes?
I didn’t cut pipes at all. Did have to put a piece of hose under the hot side pipe as there’s a piece of subframe it rattles against.

If they have over 40 sold and installed on the CTR then where are those people, all 40 of them must not care at all about Facebook groups or forums.....lol
Okay, but we all know the answer to that. First, many folks don't like and don't post in forums. There are tens of thousands of Civic We are the minority. Second, people are far more driven to post and far more likely to post complaints when they have issues than success and good experience. That...that's just a quirk in humanity that no none has been able to explain.

On the topic of successes, any of the folks with this bad boy installed get to the dyno yet? Any word on performance, any boost loss, additional or less lag, etc.? I'm sure that I'm not alone in that I'd love to hear about your experience.
