ok i am bulding a motor and going for 500+.. i am taking the crx back to a stock body car with oem bumpers and such,and need some suggestions,points in the right direction.. I WILL NOT CUT THE OEM BUMPER,so its not an option. i am thinking a liquid-air setup to keep it clean in the front without really giving away what the car is capable of.. i am looking at the same design as the vortech supercharger kits for the 99-00 civic SI.. the aftercooler.. i want to know if this will get me 500+ and still be pretty efficient.. this is about my only option for the look i am going for.. help me out..

here is a pic for those who dont know what im talking about..

You could run the intercooler parallel to the ground like some of the F-Body guys have done?

wouldnt be very efficient without airflow directly flowing on it.. i have also looked into a V mount configuration.. but the front end of a crx is too damn small

Scoop underneath car to guide some air up there?

sikcrx89

dont want to deviate from the stock body lines too much.. plus there is a front lip going on the bumper so that woudl defeat the purpous

Bad idea, the front end would lift and you would starve your radiator most likely with all the extra pressure being added to the bay. The bottom is the only route for air to escape. By making it go up you'll make it come out of places you might not want it to.

Like your pee hole...

yea i would runthe intercooler parallel and have a scoop force flow air threw it or buy a half size radiator and mont and intercooler next to that so it will just look like your oem full size

TorganFM

Top mount with a hood scoop. You do not want to scoop air off the ground. You want that air to move as fast and smoothly as possible to create a partial negative pressure which will help hold the front end down. Race cars have flat or louvered bottoms for a reason.
