"I have been doing a full valve train/cams install as well with your 52mm ITB set-up. We finished mounting the ITB's onto the motor, torqued everything down, ran the lines, etc., and we had clearance all the way around. The fuel rail cleared the skeleton of the hood by a little over 1/4" and the horns on the closest part cleared by more than 1/2" *. I just wanted to bring that to your attention. As far as I know, nobody has a street-driven RSX with the 52mm ITB's on it, so nobody really knows that they do clear. Here are some pics."

*Borla Induction has not verified these clearance figures and at first glance they do not appear to be sufficient enough to allow engine movement.
