Well if you're scared to put it in the bumper, aren't willing to do some sidemounts in the wheel wells, and don't want a hood scoop, I don't know what to tell you.

i didnt ask about sidemounts or topmounts and the car has a $800 CF on it.. so scoops are out of the question.. i want to know about the system i posted not what i can do.. i can make anything just about..

I decided to not go with air/water simply because the water takes forever to cool down in a daily driven situation. air/air will make tuning much easier for a street car.

i was thinking about that aswell but the cooler part will be in direct airflow.. and there is noway your driving a 500+hp crx daily.. well you could but the car is getting completely redone.. ne paint and all so i would be scared of a scratch on it if it was daily...lol

Okay, get a big ------- air to water IC. Do not duct air from the ground up into a air to air IC mounted flat in the bottom of the bay. That just conceptually seems like a terrible idea to me.

Big heat exchanger for the air to water IC.

Works for a lot of the el es juan folks. A/W on the street is going to be hard if you want to beat on it.

yea it was never my plan to put an air dam/deflector under the car to direct air anywhere.. also the kits come with an ice tank for it aswell.. i was also thinking a boost cooler/intercooler less setup as well but i would need a hell of a tank..

Well someone mentioned ducting air upwards into the bay, I was responding to that.
