You guys with front-mounts on your CRXs know there's hardly any room behind the front bumper to fit a fairly large intercooler. How did you guys modify your bumpers to get it to fit? Pics would be great. This link helped: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=321081 but no one who posted is using the same shape i/c as I am, so it doesnt look like any of them had to modify the bumper support.. If I had a working digi cam (RCA sucks) I would post pics of mine, but I don't, so here's the next best thing. Here's what it looks like (hope you don't mind me using your pics, true):

Any ideas or tips? BTW this would be for a stock bumper (89).

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the pics, guys. Looks like it'll fit fine if I just cut out my bumper support and trim a little of the plastic.

Here is my old EF. I removed the stock bumper support and made my own.

turboedef9

on my hatch i just cut out the middle section of the bumper "crash bar" and bolted the 2 pieces of the crash bar back up to hold everything in place and my intercooler is 12x24x2.5. also blown90hatch that intercooler is sick bro but you dont think its over kill that thing is enormous you dont think you will get alot ot pressure drop?.

Ok, that's pretty close to my size. I think that's what I'm going to try.

-Seth

Well that's what I did, and it fits great! Thanks for the help guys.
