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.

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.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

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

thats a 5"

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.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

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.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

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:

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.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

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??
 

flatblacking itwont affect it wha tso ever.

the 5 and 6" will fit into the crx bumper without any modifications to the front support , if you do the 8" expect to hack some ----.

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.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

alrighty then, i'm convinced now that i should sell the evo ic.
i'll get a 6" to avoid "hacking some ----."
anyone wanna buy a stock evo8
intercooler? :D

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

how much you want for it?

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

hahaha. Good luck wit the sell;)
You should have no problem getting rid of it. Its still is a nice intercooler, just not for your particular setup

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

damn those EVO intercoolers are a lot bigger than they look once pulled from the car.

Anyways - I agree with the others. Save some hair on your head and get something more friendly of a fit in your car.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

i looked around and found some pics of these ic mounted on integras. they didnt look to bad,but the in/out of the ic point down. i dont know if u had the other pipes if they would straiten everything out or not. but they had to cut thier steel bumber. after seeing these i still would not do it. but they did'nt look all that bad, just a pain.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

cool.
hey jecu:
how's about $250 shipped to the continental US sound?
i have the stock piping, too. if you want it just throw in a few more bucks for shipping.
you wouldn't happen to be in search of a used HKS BOV, too, wouldja? 'cause i have 2... and 1 can be yours.

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

good job, sell it and buy a custom coach ;)

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

here's my crx with the newer model JRC 6" .. fits nicely in the bumper. doesnt look too long either. i think it fits perfectly.

^ looks nice ;D

Re:stock EVO 8 IC or JRC/CCA on CRX w/ b16??
 

No doubt. Anybody got pics of the intercooler (jrc/cca)mounted without the bumper so that we can see how you made fit ?
