I decided to make this thread because i am switching up my setup and with a top mount it is going to be hard to use a backdoor intercooler. i know alot of 96-98 civic owners opt out for the 99-00 front but i like my 97 front so i figured i would start this thread in hopes other 96-98 front fans would chime in with some pics of thier i/c....please try to post the brand of the i/c you are using.
heres mine
full race back door intercooler...i believe 24x11x3"...i will look for more pics

 

come to life thread!!!!!! ill bump this caz its a good idea

 

im not sure of the size of mine, i think its 8" tall and 27" wide, 3.5" thick. its an unknown brand

 

 

im about to begin the quest of keeping my sir fogs and putting on a front mount......

 

 

how come you put the dumptube out of the side of the bumper?

It was just the ricer in me at the time.

But it's actually functional, because it keeps the heat out of the engine bay. I'm switching to an integrated dumptube setup next time around though, so it's quieter.

 

gotcha, gosh i can't wait to join the world of boost, 6psi, t25, fmu, can't wait!! lol

 

That red Minn coupe is baad
