How do I mount this interheater??
 
https://hometown.aol.com/dwmcintosh2...turboparts.jpg

It doesn't have any bolt holes mounts or anything? I have no way to weld aluminium so I'm not realy sure what to do. I guess I could just weld mounts the charge pipes coming in and out of it and just hold it in by the couplers. I don't know. what would you guys do?

Couplers and your bumper will hold it on. Don't even worry about it. :l

jb weld a flat piece of aluminim were you want mounts, just make it a decent size so you get some surface area for it to stick.

yeah jb weld FTW. Use it to attach brackets or something to the intercooler. then bolt it on to the bumper support.

Zipties could work, but would be more temporary.

^ lol duct tape.

if you attach small mounting tabs to the charge pipes on both sides and use good couplers and t-bolt clamps that thing will never move, i actually think its easier to do it this way than to mount the cooler its self..

Dude where is your bumper support. In a crx I would never take that off. You can cut out the portion that the intercooler hits but you have to box it up. Not a good idea.

yep... zip ties are all i (and accordepicenter) used. the piping and couplers do most of the work for you.

zip ties are handy too if you ever have to take it off/remount it later on

My zipties broke and the bumper currently resides on the bottom of my bumper

I used the 3/16" heavy duty ones to

They just wear down from daily abuse

You need something a bit more solid I would say

Not hard to make a few tabs for it to rest on

just use the metal strapping with holes in it-- i think its usually used to ------ support plumbing. I've used it for hanging exhaust and for my intercooler. Just wrap it around the opening on both ends and find a place to bolt it to
