probably not in the stock locations. i know on my 94 without fogs the intercooler piping backs right up against plastic of the bumper cover. I am assuming it would be very difficult to get it to work with the fogs in their also.

I have a Revhard kit for my CRX and it has a backdoor style intercooler. If you use the same type design then you definately wont have to worry about you foglights getting in the way.

Here is a pic. I test fitted the bumper too and I have JDM fogs installed. I think that's the type of foglights, I'm not sure. The previous owner installed them.

Hot side is not a back door though is it? Definetly have space on passenger side, but what about driver?

Are you talking about my setup?

Actually I think I worded it wrong. IIRC back door means the piping comes out of the back of the end tank not the sides. The piping going in and out of my IC just make a 90 degree turn, and the core is short enough to where they go through where there are already holes in the frame. I just made the hoels bigger.

Not counting the endtanks and piping my IC core is 22x6.5x3. So maybe you can copy the endtank design and run it like the Revhard. The Revhard kit has the compressor on the drivers side and RH welded an elbow onto my compressor outlet. From the compressor there is a short piece of L shaped aluminum piping (5" x 8") which goes into the IC. Then my piping from the IC outlet to the TB is that one piece that you see in my pic.

EDIT: on the driver side if you copy the RH piping you will be really close to the driver side frame rail. My piping is so close that I will have to install the IC elbow onto the compresor outlet and then mount the manifold up like that. That's how little room I have...with the manifold and turbo installed on the motor I would not even be able to install the small IC elbow, I have to install it onto the mani and turbo then install the whole thing on the motor.
