What's the reason for that?
if you're running low/medium boost you don't need a huge intercooler.
An intercooler that large will actually hinder performance. 1 being more mass for the air to flow through. Large intercoolers were designed for higher boost applications. not to mention increased drag/weight at the furthest point front of the axles.
Skyline intercoolers on civic's are weaksauce.

What he said.
Super large intercoolers can also have a fairly large pressure drop across it so you could end up not gaining anything at all. What you need is a properly sized intercooler for your application.
