Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

Alright, I'm trying to put an intercooler on my Civic, its basically mounted but only tack welded cause I'm unsure if it looks like ----.

The bumper was already fucked up when I got the car and I hacked it up a little with my old setup. Now the question is weather to ---- it and leave it the way it is or cut up the support and angle it back some. I don's have the front lights but thats where the intercooler piping is going to go so it'll look a little more complete with piping.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

I would say to try and move it back a little bit more if you can.. just looks like it will get destroyed being out that far..

what are you using for shielding gas? Is that a 20 pound tank of CO2?

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

Argon/CO2 mix. It sits flush with the front bumper, I'm not worried about it getting fucked up I just want it to look semi-decent

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

honesty is getting the best of me here....that looks like total ass. ;) ;)

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

take the core support out man.. that looks ------- bad.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

that's an odd looking argon tank.. is it 40 cf?

Usually I see them a lot thicker and shorter.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

I knew I'd get the truth from HMT.


I don't want to take the core support out but I'll modify it.


I knew it looked like ---- but I just wanted to bolt it on and say ---- it. Finished product comming up....

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

OMG Whitey. :-X I don't know what to tell you, but that can't be the way it is. It just aint't right. :-\ It's like drinking beer through a straw....or eating a fat chicks -----...after you fucked her.....without a condom.

haha, seriously just take the core support out, it will look 10 times better

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

LOL Those are some good analogies man.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

It looks like you kicked the ---- out of your bumper and screwed an intercooler onto the wreckage.

I know yours is a bit bigger than mine(only in this situation will I ever say that), but I got mine to fit pretty damn good.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

My front bumper is so fucked up that no matter what I do it'll probably look like ---- and I also don't have the front lights either. :-\construction is underway, I tried cutting and modifying the stock support, got about a quarter of the way through so I'm making a custom support.


Stay tuned for the finished product.



Also, if I was smart I would take down the pics so people wounldn't make fun of me but I'll leave them for your enjoyment

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

HA, first non mod to ----- this thread :P

Anyway, push that ---- back man, it looks like your car is puking up an intercooler

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

OMG my ------- welding wire is contaminated and I can't ------- weld anything. >:( >:( I gotta wait till tomorrow to finish this ----------er.


So anybody out there with a welder, take the wire out of the machine so it doesn't go ------- bad >:(

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

Okay 3 things

1) That just screams "STEAL ME, STEAL ME!!"

2) I don't think that will exactly go with the "sleeper" look.

3) It's ------ ugly. Cut the support and put it inside the bumper and you're fine.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

ok, this is as far as I can go tonight without a welder so don't mind the tie wraps :P I made a custom support and this is the best its going to look with the front bumper as hacked up as it is.

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

is that a tyrus intercooler?

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

it's stil way too forward. sorry to say. but you can always do whatever you want to. ;D

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

be a gansta and run external charge piping. oooo ya ;)

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

yup


It fits in the bumper so thats all I care about. I'm not building a showcar so ---- it

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

Right Click save as "WhiteystyleIC.jpg"

That cracks me up man, Whats the deal with the custom front bumper support!? I see it sneaked behind there.

I'd paint the fucker black if I were you

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 

I like how there's a "Whitey Style" everything; bends and intercoolers and twin turbo Honda's. I guess the Whitey style bumper is to remove as much as possible of it. ;)


Remember, this is a work in progress but there's definitely going to be more things that you can right click save as to make fun of me for later comming soon, including my supercool front support 8)...

Re:Opinions needed on intercooler install
 

I was going to order one of these intercoolers for my 94 Civic EX. It looks like a lot of stress to mount it without taking out the bumper support. I don't want to take mine out either. Seems like the 30X5X2 is my best option.

Thanks for the pictures.
