How is it possible to fit a monster cooler up front like these civic and other guys are doing... notch the bumper supports or what? Like 30x10x3 (yes I am serious)?

Just curious how big everyone is currently running and how it fits?

Thoughts?

 

dont have much room in my accord coupe neither..i mean the vent/opening is not big enuff

 

I think I got that problem under control... it is just the actual mounting points I am fuzzy about.

 

bigass zip ties and jb weld.


ask DLB1994

 

I think i will be moving the powersteering cooling line to mount my intercooler
not to mention i need to cut the grill and my liscense plate block 25% of the incoming air

 

Core Length : 24" (600mm)
Core Height: 9" (230mm)
Core Thickness: 3" (750mm)
Inlet Size: 2" o/d (50mm)
Outlet Size: 2.5" o/d (650mm)
"End to End" Length: 30.5" (770mm


thats the one i ll be running. so fitment isnt a question it will HAVE TO FIT!

 

lol, individual determination is a good thing but you think you can do
Mandrel Bent Exhaust piping at home? hahahahahhahahahhahahha
Oh..you can..JK

I need to cut some of my bumper and prolly relocate my ps tank to get it fit

 

lol your funny.. biznich you know i got things under control

Yeah i am sure some cutting will be done. ive been just waitng to do it

small price to pay for boost

 

kteller..you gonna run a h22 automagic with big boost?!?!
damn! what kinda set up and hp you aimming for?

 

I am trying to polish my starion/conquest/tsi pos intercooler

 

my friend has a 93 hb and he is in the process of installing his turbo with a 24x11x3 core intercooler (comes out to like 30x11x3 or something like that with endtanks). he had to remove his bumber support and weld on brackets to bolt the intercooler to. if you remove your bumber support, you shouldnt have a problem with fitmet as long as you can find places to mount it to but i think that you would rather have a bumber support to take some of the impact off the intercooler in case you accidently hit your bumber on something.

 

I hopefully can get away with just notching the bumper support as the accord has a bit more room in the front than a civi.

Either way I am going to get the 29x10x3 and make it work (thats with endtanks fyi).

 

I can barely slip my small *** intercooler in my coupe

 

I just ordered my new intercooler 30x9x3 and all i had to do was cut out the middle section of my bumper support. PITA but it should fit, i only have to worry about mounting problems.
