Default Intercooler on CRX

Hi,

I'm running a Greddy turbo on my ZC '89 CRX and wondered if anyone had any tips/pictures on how to get an intercooler in behind the bumper, it looks a very tight squeeze.

Only place i can see so far is to use a thin cooler (40mm core) directly on front of the rad, where the air-con condenser would be and run the pipes round the sides of the rad.

I don't mind getting the grinder out to get it to fit, but i want to keep the bumper looking stock

Thanks,

Check my site. We used a Starion intercooler in our CRX's. It fits fine if you move the radiator back a bit.

Take a look.

Cheers Randy, i'll do exactly what you have done and move the radiator back. My rad has a different fan to yours, and i had to cut the fan to clear the actuator! I'm going to swap it for a nice slimline rally fan though.

I have a few intercoolers to play with, so i'll see what fits best and try to plumb the thing - somehow!

My site is here, still under construction though. http://www.markl.f9.co.uk/crx-si/turbo/turbo.htm

Thanks again,
