What size intercoolers are typically used on a crx? I'm in a market for one now, but i wanna do the least amount of trimming and hacking that i can.

I was looking at a spearco 24x3.5x7 intercooler, its a little thick, but do you think it will fit alright?

I searched but couldnt find much solid info, just speculation...

 

stock rex? a lotta people like the 5 inch because its a nice fit. and for 155 shipped from http://www.johnnyracecar.com/ you cant beat it. check out there site.. they also have a nice 8 inch for 200 shipped i'm pickin one up soon

 

I was trying to stay away from those if i could.... what is everybody else using?

nobody has ever used an intercooler on a crx..

 

why waste the space there blueballz?

 

johnny racecar fits perfectly but if you have stock bumpers you have to cut the bumper air dam till it looks 2-dimensional and the foglight pockets if its its a 90-91.

 

is it a problem if you HAVE foglights??

 

I believe the quality is of JR intercoolers is good, but I am more concerned with fitting.
I just bought an ebay intercooler that will fit inside the frame of the CRX. By that I mean that the charge pipes do not have to route like a cold air intake. I am running the charge pipes inside the engine bay and that makes it a lot easyer to do.
I see the pics of the CRX with the jonnyracer intercooler and I think it is too wide for the CRX. Also the one I bought comes with a 2" and a 2.5" ends so it makes it easyer to connect.
This is the link to that one.
$159 + $20 or so for shipping

This intercooler fits very well and requires minimal trimming. I am running 7psi so it iis plenty good for me. If you plan on running 10+ psi you might want to look somewhere else.

 

nah the jrc on the crx are perfect. the core covers the whole air dam perfectly.

 

that is what i have and it fits nice and will cool about anything street hp is going to though at it.

 

i have the smallest johnny race car ic and you DO have to cut for it to fit. you must cut the bumper plastic out int he front and cut into the bumper support.

 

this is the classic 5 from jonnyracecar.com
the bumper is not bolted up its just chilling on there so it kinda look like ****

and yes the pictures are a little to small lol

 

heres the jrc classic 6", on my 90 si, i cut my bumper support to properly mount it, but i used to not even use the bumper support, just have to get creative to keep teh bumper from sagging, or us the HF bumper support.




Oh, and i plan on getting the 8 inch now, so the bottom gap fills in a little better.

no way to keep them without a backdoor cooleR?

 

good deal on the jrc's. i think im gonna pick one up.

 

I have the 700hp precision frontmount. you just take out the bumper support, then hack the bumper then you take some L-brackets. and they screw right in a screw hole in the front. mine works perfect.

 

i found mine at a junk yard, off a mercury.
its about a foot long an inch fat. you cant even see it. no hacking involved, i could never hurt mah crx. sleeper mode. i love it.

if you look to the left you mite see it.
