Default What do you all think of this.. Backdoor IC conversion?

Hi, i got a steal on a small precision IC.

My plans are to have the inlet cut off, and a cap welded, then the front of the end tank drilled and the outlet welded on there.

The comressor outlet will line up good, and i will use much less piping.

Bumper wont be perfectly cenetered (3" out) but it will be painted flat black anyways.. so it will be hard to see.

I cant do the IC piping any other way (shitty mani design/clearance) I cant go down though the windshield bottle because its a huge ramhorn and the pipe wont fit between #1 runner, and the headlight frame piece.. and i cant go 90 off bottom and between radius rods (turbo clocked down) then 180' into IC.. and i dont want to go under becaues ground clearance will blow ***

Other side of IC is done.. fits mint.

So what do you say to the backdoor style or

Ill get some pics up tommorow of exactly what i want to do..

I was running a SRT4 intercooler with some modified end tanks so drivers side was back door and passenger side regular side exit.Worked perfect on a EF as I came off the turbo right into the compressor outlet and into the intercooler.The CRX Im building know will get the same setup as I need to keep my washer fluid jug where I live so it has to go through the rad support area.

The majority of the 90-94 DSMs use front mounts in this design.

Check out this thread for ideas. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1339065

Also, I followed his format with a twist since my core wasn't as wide, we just chopped inlets and used half of a 180 bend on each side to make for a pseudo backdoor without having to fit couplers up front.
Click for larger and you can sorta see what we did.

Engine bay is dirty, but you can see how we routed piping down, note that its all mandrel bends.

How can you see the other side of the flange through the bov to determine this?
