I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this intercooler issue ;). This will definately help other individuals decide which intercooler and size to buy.

Abaz, please keep us up-to-date after you've tested the intercooler.

Well its official.. if you own a 4g civic you have alot of cutting to get it in! i finally got done cutting up the bumper support and got done with basic trimming on the front bumper cover.. but i now know that the 32x5 is the PERFECT size core for my car. she is always smiling now, and so am i when i look at it! enough fmic sentimental ----.. heres the pics:

I went ahead and resized them :P

sorry for the bad quality, i ran outside and snapped the pics real quick in the dark

i DO plan on putting the corner lights back in, they are just out because i gotta remove the bumper again for the intercooler piping once i get closer to getting done

I've used about 6 johnny race car intercoolers on my cars and friends cars, they are difficult to get to fit sometimes but with a sawzall nothing really gets in your way :)

It took years of turbo experience to make that intercooler sit straight and look good 8)

lol



::has flashback:: god damnit I need to cut everything to make this fucker fit!

Re:Johnnyracecar FMIC
 

really? i just got done with my IC install and its the first FMIC ive ever done.. i thought it turned out really good. its level and centered perfectly

Re:Johnnyracecar FMIC
 

I was being a bit saracastic ;)

But that one was the harder IC's I have ever installed, there is no core support, and there are 2 inlets on the left side (twin turbo) which interfer with the bumper light. It was just kind of a ho. EG's and EK's seem to be pretty easy installing intercoolers, eh, actually most hondas are pretty easy.

i had to cut quite a bit out of my bumper support (since i opted to keep it, already tempting fate in a wreck with a 4g civic) to get it it to fit. the plastic part wasnt near as hard, just sat with with my dremel and some sandpaper
