I finaly managed to install this intercoller on my Civic. I wanted to do this first to se if it will fit. I will have to make some cutting on the original bumper or just make a new so it fits perfect.
I have big problems with mainfold. There is like 5 cars in Croatia(right from Italy) with that mainfold.

This is what I plan to run on 10psi.
And here is the price list. Remember that I am 12 time zones away.

that intercoolr is a waste of your time, that thing is gay.

bozo

Can you say why do you think that?

hotrex

gonna ahve to hack the ---- outta your car, its thin, it has plastic end tanks, and it looks like charge piping will be a bitch

hotrex

not to mention you dont even have your bumoper support on in that pic.

just sit back and look at that pic, the thing is stupid

bozo

OK so if I understand corectly you do not have any tehnical commet about it. You just do not like it because it is so big and my bumper is not instaled.

bozo

Beter thin than fat. The front side of the ic is the efective side, if you have 10cm fat ic the first5cm cools the air and the other 5cm is less than 50% cooled

I'm only new here, but:

hotrex, you are on a power trip.

You're constantly giving the beginners ----, even when they are simply asking a question and just trying to learn. And by now I think that you assume everybody is like this, and that you can say whatever you like.

Like Bozo said, You have no technical proof that this intercooler is going to fail, or any proof that it is going to work. You are just judging it by the way it looks, and you have commented on these forums many times that If something works well, it doesnt really matter what it looks like.


And Bozo, good luck with your project. Its good to see innovation when the people with more money just go to the performance store and buy a Shiny, Brand-Name Intercooler that flows 1000+ hp and think they are top ----.

Just my 2 cents,

SpankedYA!

Wow you guys are ------- stupid. Josh is telling you from experience. That thing is a waste of time. Have you fit the bumper back on yet? How do you intend to mount the bumper support? Have you thought any of this through at all? Good luck running the charge pipes. I turboed MY EK. I do know from experience. How can you look at that and think, "Damn, that fits great!"? Get a rope.

seriously man. your better off getting something thats not gonna give you a headache or alot of hacking puting it on. just get something from CCA, JRC, or LSD Motorsports, you'll have a way easier time mounting it up then that thing.. also will be sooooo much better quality and probly flow a hell of a lot better then that thing.

---- if you can spend 150 bucks on 310 injectors(why not dsm 450's :1) the you can afford a cooler from one of the sponsers.
