The lines are installed. He just wants to clean up the bay a little before taking anymore pics.

Here's a shot of the modified 53mm koyo rad (spal fan and T1 shroud) and the condenser.

Looks great honey. What are you planning to do for the engine? Stay 2.0 or go bigger?

I will have to get the name of it. We didn't use the same civic condenser as last time. It will be used for my 56 mile daily commute to and from work through traffic so I'll def have some feedback to give.

I'd love to pick one of those up once all the parts are finalized and all entire radiator condensor line get up.. Hell it would even benefit people that opt to not use ff turbo kits more air flow to get to the turbo to cool it down.

Why not? It'll have a filter on the turbo it should be just fine.

I'm more curious to know if you can actually run this set up in inclement weather because the FF setup will be direct exposure to rain which since you and I both live in Florida we know all too well can be monsoon status some times. This will then soak the element and potentially pull water into the intake will it not?

We all know water internally is no bueno for any motor which possibly would result in hydrolock.

Can anyone currently running a FF kit chime in on this that has experience with issues or not?

I didnt mean to go off topic honey, just curious, curious like a cat, thats why they call me whiskers!

Your car looks phenomenal by the way, its coming along very nicely!

It's not off topic. Unless someone is aiming a hose straight at the filter or submerging the car up to the hood in water, it will more than likely not ingest enough water to hydrolock the motor.
