i know that the 6'' intercooler is a great intercooler and does the job, but the 8'' is just that much bigger and has numerious extra rows of cooling for the same price... has any of the Eg guys had any problems with the fitment / intstall of this intercooler. im really looking for pics of the intercooler on with out the bumpber, so that i can get a idea of how far below the bumper the 8'' hangs and where you guys are mounting it...

being that they are the same price....the smartest thing would be the 8'' i think.

wow that looks reallly nice and that was the kinda pic that i was looking for......anyother pics of these on cars would be great....

anyone know how much better the 8'' is for cooling compared to the 6''..

erebunicrx

i dont have anymore pics of that car right now but i could ask him to take more.

when you say you cut the bumper cover and the bumper. was it just the grill part or did you actually have to shave some of the inside of the bumpe off...

oxSLEEPERxo

from the looks of it, he have to cut off half of his bumper support bar

94greddycivic

so was the bumper support bar cut in this installation....

do you have to cut it with the 6''

oxSLEEPERxo

yea the support bar have to be cut with the 8", if you don't want the intercooler hanging 2 inch below your bumper, where it can be scraped up and damage from speed bumps and etc. With the 6", you do not have to cut the support bar

exactly, we cut the bumper cover where the vents go in. just around like the grill peieces. i think it looks better that way. but all in all it would take 1 person about a hour to mount it. not bad for how it ends up looking.

both look great....8'' fills it alot more....alot of questions i had were answerd in this thread...i dont really want to cut the oh **** bar, so i think that the 6'' is going to be better....
