I have the offer to pick up a EVO 8 FMIC for cheap and I was wondering if anyway has successfully made it fit into a Integra. I dont want it to hang below the bumper at all. Its approx. 11.25" tall. Has any one fit this intercooler, or similar into a teggy before? Thanks

 

bump

 

I havent seen anyone do it but it will be on a Civic Hatch soon.

your hatch? or a buddies? post pics if possible when its done.

 

damnit i forgot to take pics, i guy i know did it without much problem on his CRX. He said it took like a total of 30min because he had to change a bracket or something

 

no problem will take pics when its done

 

People have been using EVOIII/VI/V/VI/VII/VIII FMIC's on everything over here. Cheaper than buying an after market IC and even cheaper if you can get one off of a wrecked EVO.

 

yup, you can find really good condition evo FMIC's and 16g's at http://www.evolutionm.net

 

also the evo 8 ic is rated up to 450whp. I got mine for 150 from my friend when he upgraded.

 

good info guys

I'd like to se some pics of this to see. Did any of these people have to remove their bumper support?

 

most likely I'll have to because its like 12 inches tall maybe even more

I thought it was 11.25 inches tall?

 

I measured it with a footlong sub lol so yea I could be 11.25 inches tall (my food didnt touch it)

lol

what size inlet/outlet do these intercoolers have?

 

just remove the bumper support..i just did for my greddy type 24 to fit in there..

 

the inlet/outlet of the evo 8 intercooler is about between 2inches to maybe 2.25 dont have a ruler on me.

 

Should fit, a buddy of mine has one on his mazdaspeed miata, but I've heard those IC's are prone to have a 2-3lb pressure drop. :Dunno: just what I've heard from the local EVO owners, 2 of which were built by Buschur Racing.

 

My buddy and I swapped a 1.8T into his 97 jetta and we used a Evo 8 IC. THe only problem we had was the way the inlet and outlets are pointed made it a PITA to make IC piping for. So we had to cut them and make them straight so we could make the IC piping easier to work with. You'd have the same problem with a honda. But the work pretty well

 

i would like to know as well. My main concern is how it will look because (call me a ricer) I want the core and a little bit of the end tanks to completely fill my front bomex bumper. Of course, given my powergoals (4-500 daily, 6+ track) the evo ic would be temporary. im pretty sure at about 600hp it becomes a bottleneck. most of the evo owners say that around 350hp its maxed out. for the price (150-200) it wouldnt be a bad temp thing would it?

The inlet and outlet is pointed downwards but the hoses make it come out straight. It works out for the car being put on. i'll take pics of just the intercooler soon.

ya definatley post some pics on this thread when u take em. im very interested to see how it fits, as well as some other members here. thanks!

 

got some pics of just the intercooler

 

could you post them? also, do you have the overall dimension (end to end) of the ic?

 

see how the endtanks are but the hoses turn it sideways like a normal ic.
