Default evo intercooler fit into 92 si?

i got my 92 civic si w/ an ls swap coming along and im looking to turbo it. a friend of mine told me if i chose that route, hed sell me his factory evo intercooler for cheap. my question is, has anyone ever tried to do this? is there alot of custom work involved as far as making piping? any info would be appreciated.

ill see if i can take some pics tomorow morning. i mounted the intercooler with zip ties for now just to give me an idea of what id be working with.

youll be fine.....i thought they were at the top for some reason. if someone can fit a dsm side mount on a civic, an evo can fit.
