i used a eg civic radiator and still had problems. its pretty ****** tight in there. i turned the turbo where the exhaust side is on the left and made a straight shot downpipe with no left or right bends. i recconstructed my crossmember to help with mounting the radiator. one of the best things to do is get an aftermarket one of fab. i trippin on how the one in that pic got that in. madd props. good luck bro i had a hard time.

I have a pic on my pc at home of a crx with hasport mounts, an inline pro manifold and a full length fluidyne. And yes, I plan on having the compressor on the driver's side.

My setup was, HCP, stock radiator, DRAG3 mani, custom DP, T3/T4E facing the passenger side. No problems. I have since changed to an EG/EK Fluidyne radiator and Jim Fab Craoss-member. Much nicer to work with.

Is this your setup, Doodoo? It's been a LONG time.

Brad, do you have a pic of you drivers side IC piping? I can't figure out how to get the IC piping right on the drivers side.

I see that you used your air intake pipe as IC piping. Doesn't it lower your boost a lot because of the larger diameter? Do you notice it while driving?

the ic pipe snakes towards the passenger side between the crossmember and tranny to dsm sidemounted ic. I don't drive the car, but I've messed around with different size ic pipes and didn't really feel a difference.

Thanks Brad!

Does anyone have pics of the IC piping on the drivers side for a FMIC?
