you just need to get an ic with the inlets on the right vertical position for those foglights (either middle or bottom) might need to fab the ic pipes too

 

theres not a whole lot of cars like that atleast dat ive seen! and I know there isnt any cars like that here in charlottesville VA everyone just cuts their car and or front bumper to hell. I have a perfect 88 CRX no dents no rust. I cant figure out how to do a SOHC turbo with a JDM front and still have the foglights.

 

u can do backdoors, relocate your battery and run the charge pipe straight up.

i believe tony1 did an install like this..

 

just be creative and make sure to measure everything right, intercooler size has a lot to do with it

 

TTT

 

pic is fixed

 

Back door intercooler will definately get you what you want. also will reduce about 2- 2 1/2 ft of piping if you went with a tradional endtank

 

not JDM but close call :D

 

Easy when u do the end tanks on the intercooler put them up right at the top

 

thanks for the pics but i dont like the idea of havin NO front bumper!!!!!!

 

all my front bumper OEM is there buddy!

did you just use 90* bend couplers?..............yep!

 

ur the man thankx bro my crx will get a lil farther along now. Feel free to look at my car heres da link! https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1730810

 

Tony1 has a perfect example of this in his CRX build thread... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1339065

We duplicated this on my car more or less, using a xspower fmic and chopping the inlet/outlets off, we then cut 1 180 aluminum bend in half and welded it to the fmic. Then its nice short piping and smooth flow throughout.... I &lt;3 Tony1 for putting up his setup and inspiring myself and friends to do the same.

In this picture you can see the modified fmic end. The fmic basically sits on the front radiator support area. No cutting of the bumper at all.

 

U like the battery down there and like that???

 

Yup, no room in engine bay, i hated it in the trunk. Now it puts weight where it can help and its outta the way.

 

*won't the battery be in the way of the fog lights?* what size battery? did u run cables to another set of post just in case u need a jump? what about a oil cooler? where did u mount it? Did u relocate the oil filter?

Oem size battery. Wired straight in like normal battery, I could do 2nd set of posts inside for jumps... but I'm not worried.. I can push start the car by myself (not big guy either).

No oil cooler, but if i did, I still have the driverside wheel well to use. Oil filter is still stock location. (not sure where those questions came from )

 

wont the battery be in the way of the fog lights? I just tryin to see what everyone is doin or how they are doin it so I can get sum ideas and start workin on the car more with parts that I have. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1730810 heres my car.

 

Battery was more of a sidenote to your original question. My picture was mainly to show the fmic modification. Couldn't say if it'll affect foglight mounting.... probably.... so with fogs battery mount might not be useful. But a small dry cell could be mounted high up in there and on its side easily... or retained in the engine bay etc... just another option.
