Just a quick question about back door IC's.

1. will it work with a stock del sol si radiator, no A/C, Full race mani, sc50? any cutting?

2. Anyone know how much of the bumper support i would have to cut for a spearco intercooler, backdoor style with a 24x8x3 core size? 2.5" piping.

 

no one knows?


Also, anyone know if having the BOV on the IC is bad concerning rain, dirt and **** that will be going its way?

like this

 

do you have it already? If you do, hook it up and see if u need to trim any off. I have a PWR 20x8x3 on my Sol and i didn't have to cut any of it

 

pmed you, and bump

 

You shouldn't have to worry about debris and stuff messing wtih the BOV in that position. There is a guy here in indy who has the full-race setup with that intercooler and hasnt' had any problems.

 

im prolly going to lean towards a BD front mount then.

 

here's a blurry pic of it with the bumper off



and here it is with bumper on

 

I have one of those for sale, if u r looking for one.

i may have found a spearco core w/ custome endtanks.

 

i had to cut a **** load to fit mine.

bumper support- gone.
half the bumper- gone.



you can see what i cut out on the ground...






the bumper:

 

^^ fudge, do you know what the dimensions of your IC are? i thought and 8" hieght would be ok, or with minimal cutting?

 

pissed off sol, show some more pics if u dont mind on the connection for the backdoor IC to the turbo and how offset the IC sits in the bumper

thanks

please do.

 

I think his is 11" tall. I had another pwr 8" IC and it fit perfect with bumper support.

 

yea, i ran a search of his posts. and i found out it is 11" tall. i i think 8" would be perfect?

 

this is the tall one FR sells. i think its the 11. i dont remember. its the stage 4 size.


took a lot of tweaking, but i finally got it pretty straight....









this is where it comes off the mani...







back shots...






i dont have anything better right now... sorry.

 

awesome pics, i kept up with ur project whenver you were doing it over on teh full-race forum, what ever happened, i assume it's up and running now. Looks great

 

we sell two versions of the backdoor intercooler, the smaller IC is 8" the larger is 11".

Both intercoolers require that you cut the bumper support. here is a picture of the 11" intercooler on a stock 95 civic bumper support:
