Re: Put a new intercooler on the gay junkyard CRX
Nice....yeah, I bought the car from him for $1000. First one to wave $1500 under my nose gets it.
I'm in the process of putting an innovate traction bar on, the car is on stands in my garage. I'm supposed to go pick up a half sized radiator for cheap from a friend of mine.
The charge piping is a nice brew of home depot 90* couplers, autozone couplers, autozone plastic intake elbows, advance auto crush bent piping and some more advance auto straight piping, plus some random couplers I found in the car.
The best part is that it's been holding 9psi daily for about a week now...and I still haven't switched over the title or put plates on it. And upon further review, the car does not leak oil. I thought it was leaking oil because the turbo is spewing so much oil everywhere that it has been dripping out of the downpipe onto the ground. The only thing it currently leaks is coolant and I'm about to replace the radiator.
I've got my eye open for a fresh 14b or 16g on eBay, might have found a few winners but I have to put a new distributor on my other car, and I really need to tidy up the charge piping on this one.

Re: Put a new intercooler on the gay junkyard CRX
I bought it off of d16forlife or somethin like that, he said it was a CCA intercooler but it's about 30" wide and 6" tall. I think it's 3" deep too.
Once my paychecks start rolling in I'm gonna get a chip burner, wideband, and the USB datalogging cable for my chipped PR3 and get some real tuning action goin on in there. I've already got the 450's and ECU on standby. I'll keep this thread updated.
