Default can I get a decent civic radiator sized intercooler?

packaging concerns..a normal front mount won't really fit, I was wondering if anyone knows if/where I can buy a good intercooler that is about the same size as a half size civic radiator..well, thicker I guess, but same approx height/width..

I think that's enough area to support a gt35r..isn't it?

Thanks for any help

why wont a normal front mount fit? i would just do some cutting if it was my car. otherwise, if youre only planning on boosting like 5lbs then a halfstack sized intercool should work ok but the reason a front mount also works well is because it is front mounted. the air blowing through it helps keep everything cooler

garrett makes many size intercooler cores, where are you hoping to fit this intercooler, why exactly are you looking for one the size of a civic style radiator.

I plan on putting it next to my civic radiator. I won't have a/c or anything in front of it, so it will have a lot of airflow that way. The car just sucks, it's not a normal honda, and I can't fit **** without alot of hacking and installing a body kit. It's basically either do this use another civic radiator as a heat exchanger for a liquid intercooler. I'd rather do the air/air style though, a lot simpler.
Thanks for the tip, I'll check out some garrett cores..somewhere..
