I've had the JDM front end on since last year. So for all of you who have the JDM front end and put on the KWSC you will notice that the hood wont close. It doesn't close because the KWSC discharge pipe that runs above the intake manifold from the pulley side of the engine to the flywheel side has to large of a diameter (pipe with the KW logo on it). What I did to fix the problem is used an aluminum 1.75" diameter mandrel bent pipe to replace a section of the above pipe. Now everything works perfect. When I first put the KWSC on I was so pissed that the hood didn't close. I changed my oem hood to my cf hood and smashed it closed (in hope that the cf hood would bend). This really did bend the ___ out to the cf hood. The good thing is that it left marks on the discharge pipe so I knew exactly what the problem was.

I used a 1.75" pipe because the SC outlet is around 1.75" and the discharge pipes that lead from the SC to the mentioned above KW logo pipe is also 1.75" od. The KW logo pipe is around 2.5" od because the throttle body is around 2.5" od. By adding a couple of hose clamps, silicone hose for 1.75 od pipe, and the above 1.75 replacement pipe you'll be golden with the JDM front end.

Hope this helps.

Chris this hasn't been said by any one before but I wanted to say thank you for putting your car up as a mule. The KWSC is really the BEST FI kit on the market. I know that the introduction of this kit really depended upon your car. Thank you for giving up your car so that we all could benefit.
