89SiPimpin's 90LS-T
 
Well I finally got around to getting my DA turbo'd. I'd run into some electrical problems with my EF with D16a6-T @ 11psi (turned me out indeed), and decided to strip it and sell the parts.
Before:

After: On its way off with its new Mexican owner minus suspension/powertrain/random interior panels, and driver seat

So on to my new project, 90 Integra LS 127k as i was told when i bought it, later confirmed through carfax to be over 210k, damn shady Asian car dealers:

I had more background to give, but noone really cares, and i'm sick of typing so just ask me questions and I'll answer lol. Enjoy:

Volvo 740 intercooler that I cut down to about 8" tall, put metal plates on, and laid gangsta loads of JB weld on, holds 6psi good and costed about 35 bucks including materials so I cant complain:

Intercooler mounted, fits nicely where the ac condensor was, had to hack up the frame a bit, cus sacrificing structural integrity for the sake of a better fitting FMIC its what hot on tha streetz.

Downpipe clears really well, came out better than i thought seeing as how all my cutting was done with an angle grinder and i've only been welding for like 3 weeks or so :

Overall came out really well and it pulls nice, but the stock clutch hate life, so thats gotta come out soon. I'd like to thank Bob @ RCAutoworks for hookin it up on the mani, Steve @ Stealthmode Performance for helpin brotha out with the oil fittings, Racing-Solutions for that good ass deal on charge piping kit, had enuff for my ic piping and downpipe, and Harbor Freight for making cheap ----.

Nice work. For an angle grinder and fluxcore that downpipe looks like magic.

I can't believe you got that intercooler in there. That was the worst ---- about my DA, and I was only trying to fit a dsm sidemount.

Re: 89SiPimpin's 90LS-T
 
can i see pics of where you set the radiator ? did you just set it behind the ic and then centered it off the end tanks ?

Huh?

I'm seriously considering getting rid of my CRX in favor of a DA because they have 8" more room in front of the engine, and the DA bumper is more spacious than a CRX's once you hollow it out to a shell.

I fit three DSM SMIC, joined into a FMIC, in the front of my CRX with zero fitment problems. I don't see wtf you are complaining about. If SMIC installs are a problem for you, I guess I can see why the Stealth Shuttle rots...

Unless you're putting your intercooler between the engine and the radiator support, it doesn't matter which car has more room. It's the space between the rad. support and the bumper that counts. If you look closely, the integra bumper comes down off the bumper support and curves inward. At the bottom of the rad. support you may have 2 inches to work with. It's do-able, but I wouldn't try to make it sound easy in an attempt to be argumentative with Stealthmode

I'm not working on my self esteem, I'm working on your lack of mechanical and fabrication abilities.

It never ceases to amaze me that you could correctly engineer an oil drain. :-*

Or it was a lack of spending alot of time on a $400 car to impress you.

Dude, you spent $400 on a car? :l You need to quit rubbing your affluent lifestyle in my face, and go rejoin your richboy brethren on HT. This is HMT; we mistrust people who can rub two $100 bills together, or can afford to part with one of them much less four.

It was actually pretty easy for me to get it in there with a lil cutting, fits nicely where the condensor was. For the guy that asked about the radiator, its in front just like it would normally be, doesnt have to be at any kind of lean or anything.

Got the car for 1800 after tax/registration with "127k miles" and the LS wheels, interior's clean thought i made out pretty well till carfax let me know that niggaz cant ever catch a break lol. The kit totalled 750 in parts, and all labor other than the mani was done by me, saved like 200 dollars over the kit on my EF and have a more expensive turbo and mani this time, pimp ----.
