OK, so I bought a Drag turbo kit about 3 years ago, and everything installed fine except for the front bumper.

I had to cut out all of the center of the bumper and put grill mesh in its place, but the bumper doesn't come down far enough.

The intercooler hangs down about 2 inches below the bumper and sticks out about 2 inches too far to the front, so the bumper is tilted down and toward the front if you are looking at it from the front of the car.

It looks super ghetto, but I can't find any front lips or body kits that will clear that oversized intercooler.

Does anyone have any idea of how to deal with this problem? Or know of a body kit that will clear the intercooler?

Basically, anything that will stick out further at the bottom and hang down about 2 or 3 inches lower than the stock bumper will be perfect. It is for an 89 civic si hatchie.

you can try a VW lip or a r32 style front bumper for civic:



buddy used that to clear a oversized intercooler...

Ever thought of switching to a smaller intercooler?

The old JRC intercoolers fit pretty good

I fit a Precision 600hp intercooler on my CRX with a stock, but well-trimmed bumper cover. You may have to cut or remove the actual metal bumper that sits behind the bumper cover. It might take a little creativity, but it can work.

Sorry for the delayed response. for some reason, I was not getting e-mail notifications about your responses. Anyway, regarding the bumper. I wish I knew how to post pics up here.

Anyway, so the R32 front bumper will definitely clear the oversized intercooler then?

And to Killbot, I haven't considered that. I might just go with a smaller intercooler. Thanks for the tip. I don't know why that never occured to me. I was thinking about buying a body kit, but if I can keep the OEM front bumper, and avoid buying the rest of the body kit, that should keep the coppers off deez nutz. I already got a referee ticket the way it is, so chances are, I will get harrassed even more if I get a body kit.

Just to update, I bought a wings west body kit, and it just barely cleared under the intercooler.

Problem resolved.

Thanks for all feedback

Keep in mind that I painted my intercooler black to keep the piggies at bay

Nevermind the dirtyness.

She goes in for paint in a few weeks. No sense in washing it until then...
