People with 6th gen Civic and JR 5'' FMIC
 

Where did you all mount the intercooler? I cant seem to find a good place to mount it w/o having to cut out all of the front lower grill.

Any help or tips would be awesome, pics are even better 8)

TIA

Cut this ---- off the front bumper

Test Fit it

And then install charge pipes

Basically you want to mount the intercooler under the bumper support as far back as you can. I used some sheet metal screws for mounting. This is a Custom Coach 6in core.

Ok cool thanks, I thought there was another way to do it by keeping the grill ----, but im just gunna cut it out.

Thanks for the response :)

OK well I cut the sh*t out of the bumper last night. It now fits :) I just need to figure out how I need to mount it to the car. The mounting plates arent flush with the car. I have a month to figure that out though :)

Thanks again

Remember Zipties are your friend ;)

actually a couple zip ties and the charge pipes alone can hold the intercooler in place just fine.

Hmm...I ordered the centered end tank 6" core so I'll have to run my charge pipes a couple inches higher on my 6th gen.

Anyways..thanks for the pics..I saved them for future reference.

J/C but did you all just get rid of the washer fluid resevoir? Its right where the charge pipe would do a 180 back to the turbo.

I kept my Washer fluid box and ran it under it. I have a 96 CX hatch.
