just trying to gather some ideas on how to mount it, i still have to either have brackets welded on, or get some jbweld and go to town...

Did you have to cut up your front bumper support? i would love to see some pictures before I go to work on it. thanks a lot.

 

I think that's what were running on my Wifes civic. The Greddy Type 31.. No cutting on the bumper support. I will post pics tomorrow when theres sun out..

 

My intercooler is 12" tall and it hangs way below the front bumper! I am going to sell it and buy a shorter yet thicker one. No way am I cutting my bumper support. These cars are thin and light enough in a crash without taking more off!

I plan on setting my intercooler behind the bumper support and up a little bit. So maybe a couple of rows are blocks a slight bit. Either that or im going to get my air powered grinder in the action

they both fit fine. no cutting

 

It fits just fine with the bumper to.

edit: spelling

 

Mines 8 inches tall. I made some brackets out of some extra metal, Works fine, and fits perfect with the bumper on.

 

so it does'nt hang below the bumper? thats what im worried about. you guys got any shots w/ your frons on?

btw, this is a 2nd gen...but haven't been able to find anything yet... thanks for the pics guys

edit: here is what ill be running...still dont have brackets made..

did you have to take off the bumper support to fix your intercooler like that or was it for personal pref. I want to run a 28x9x2 and not the rev hard 28x6.5x3 will i have to take the support off also?

 

Here's mine.

 

that is nice. so i will have to take the bumper support off.

I chose to take off the support because its just dead weight, hehe. However, you can still run this size intercooler with the support, depending on how you hang/configure it. The larger 9 inch one will all depend on what car/bumper you have to squeeze it inside. If you have the 6.5 hangin from the support, its possible to just notch the support so the IC will squeeze in there.

Sorry for the double post..

Well you can see in the first picture, there is a large gap between the top of the support and the IC. If you did it the way i did, and made shorter brackets, i believe its possible.

 

before i got my 10" tall cooler and ditched the bumper support... my first intercooler was 8" tall i kept the bumper support in, but i trimmed about 1/2" up into it so that i could put my intercooler into the bumper support itself, then i tilted it back from the bottom to give me even mroe clearance. Just an idea... this was a smaller greddy IC on a 00 Civic. Now ive got it Ron Style with no stinkin support!

 

i have a max-rev kit on my '91 crx. anyone here know if i can keep my bumper support? http://www.maxrev.com/product.esiml?PID=123

thanks.

 

dan call me when you are going to mount that POS... just kidding. youll be fine with that IC. if we have to we can modify the bumper support/. CHRIS

 

left you a voicemail...but i need to either find someone to tig weld brackets, or just bust out the JB weld... any idears?

 

i can have brackets tig'd for you no problem. Ill call ya.

 

there is an 8.0 in. tall core on this car

 

^ that car is hot

 

sure is...if i drove a honda, it would be just like that one
