Default 2000 civic si intercooler suggestions

I've searched and only found threads that talk about intercoolers and fog lights etc...

I don't have fog lights and don't plan on getting any. therefore, what is the best fitting intercooler kit to match up to a Greddy 18g kit (10lbs max) for a 00 si.

If I boost my new car it will be with a greddy 18g turbo kit because I already have a brand new kit. I don't plan to reach for more than 200-250HP, and I won't ever want to upgrade.

And, I have to keep AC. if boosting means loosing AC, I wont boost. if I was told I could only drive 37mph unless I gave up AC...I'd drive 37mph and smile the whole time

Thoughts, suggestions, criticisms?
.
Thanks guys,

Nick - Deep South

Pardon my ignorance, but which one fits the kit? My kit did not come with one. Also, does "fit the kit" = fit the car?

if they still produced.... the intercooler kits are pretty expensive.


OP, as long as you have access to someone who can tig weld, i would just get medium size interooler with the core size of (6-8" tall x 12-14" long x 2.5" thick). Treadstone, garrett, precision all have OTS intercooler of that size.

there are also other ones like mishimoto, cxracing, ebay intercoolers would also be all fine for your mild goal.

If you don't want to trim the bumper support, then keep it under 7" tall
if you dont't want to trim the backside of your bumper very much then keep it under 2.25 thick.

No. those I/C kits ended production in 2006. He can use very simple A/C compatible piping in which the compressor is facing the passenger side fender
