stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
Hey. I have a 91 CRX with a b16a that I plan to add boost to. The block will have forged internals and may even be posted/pinned with the endyne block posts. I want to run about 15 PSI max. Anyway, I have a stock EVO 8 intercooler I got off a friend for under a bill and I'm wondering if I should use it or just sell it on ebay or some ---- and get a Johnny Racecar or Custom Coach type intercooler. The dimensions of the EVO IC are about 25in x 11 in x 3 in.
Will it be too tall and block the rad? Will it be a bitch to mount? And I gotta think about efficiency, etc... Whatcha think? Thanks. edit: link to EVO IC with pics for sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW just to give ya an idea of what the one I have looks like |

I would just keep that EVO 8 IC, use that extra cash to put toward something else in your setup.

ok, thanks for the one reply.
anyone else got an opinion on this issue? |
Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
sell that ---- and by a JRC
they fit and look great in the crx bumper http://www.sunfox.net/a.jpg thats a 5" |
Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
looks like it might be hard to make fit cause of how tall it is. u may have to modify the steel bumper. and the inlet/outlet are goofy on those ic's. also making it more difficult to run the charge pipes.

Those intercooler look great but i dont think they will fit right on the civic either. Too much to modify when you could sell and maybe get a CCA intercooler. i just prefer the long sytle to the taller ones on smaller engine set ups.

cool.
those are just the type of things i was wondering/concerned about. the stock EVO IC's go for a decent price on ebay so i'll prolly sell it and get a JRC or CCA. has anyone used a JRC back anodized IC like the one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT i like the stealth idea to keep my forced induction low-key. or has anyone had success spray painting a regular IC flat black? i figure the good ol' spray paint technique is cheap & easy, but does it ---- with the cooling capabilities of the IC? thanks for helping out this FI noob. |

lots of people spray paint thier ic's with no problems. but anodizing it is the way to go. :thumbs up:

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
Sell the Evo8 one for sure. There's no need to go through the extra hassle of the fabrication for the Evo8 intercooler when you can just pick up a JRC or CCA for like 200 bucks.
It's just easier that way. |
