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.

kabaroo

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?

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

kabaroo

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.

kabaroo

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

pissedoffsol

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:

kabaroo

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

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

kabaroo

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

pissedoffsol

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.

LostSolVTEC

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

Full-Race Geoff

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:
