turbo in the works for the sohc zc. anybody using a side mount intercooler with their setup? i got one for 30 bucks from a connection. just curious about fitment issues, cause it may look like i'll have to hack away so that it'll fit. but hey, 30 bucks, can't pass that up...

anybody got pics of a crx w/side mount ic?

I dont have any pics but the wife has first gen DSM SMIC in hers and it fits great. Dont use the 2nd gens SMIC's, they are junk.

 

i heard the opp. that the second gen sm are better, hmmm well anyways i picked up a second gen for 30 bucks either way doesnt matter to me only looking for 8psi

 

A bunch of my DSM buddies told me both arent that great but to stay away from the 2 g one.
I trust them since not one of their DSMs is slower then 11 seconds. So they know their DSM stuff.

 

Most people mount them on the spot where the stock intake use to be at. Just make sure you route some tubing so air will be pushed up.

 

I have one on my 90 CRX Si/ZC + GReddy
It works fine but the fitment was very tight and hangs low.

Unless you currently have or plan to buy a Wings West/Mugen style front bumper cover with the larger foglight hole areas, I highly recommend just buying a used FMIC (eBay, etc). Starion or Johnnyracecar, etc would be something to look into.

I just bought a used bar and plate for $300 and it goes on next week. Let me know if you want pics of either my SMIC installed or my FMIC. I think I have them on one of my web servers.

the second gen dsm dint work for me, it seems like you do need a modified bumper. It just dint fit no matter how much I tried. If you plan to use your stock bumper than i would suggest the same as tag.
