im thinking of going turbo for my next project but i want it to be a sleeper so i dont want some bumper showing the inercooler. anyone have pics of any1 that has done this before?

 

just don't get a front mount intercooler

 

Use a SMIC and some ducting for fresh air

 

I have a DSM side mount intercooler I can offer you. Its in pristine condition and would be great for what youre trying to do.

 

Just get a front mount and paint it flat black.

 

Or you could just paint your cooler black like mine



That should be pretty hard to spot one it's behind the bumper

Beat me to it. But yeah..on my talon just gave it a little over spray of flat black and it look like a radiator.Also painted all the lower pipes black

 

black mesh over front air dam.. can't see anything

Yup, I can't see the horizontal bars or the piping in the side inlet areas..... Nope... no FMIC on that car.

Tuck an fmic behind your bumper, ideally unmodified. Then spritz it with black paint, don't coat it and prevent heat transfer, just enough to make it start to fade away into the darkness down there.

 

shhhhut...dont tell anyone...

 

That's badass.

Can you see mine???

Car is definitly far from a sleeper... but that is a very nicely hidden fmic if there is one there

get out of the ef forums, EG lover

 

Buy my ef sideskirts so I can get an ecu for my EF and get working on finishing it

See your what?????

Anyway just go with a SMIC and call it a day. There was an issue Way back in Honda Tuning Magazine where they used a DSM SMIC on a crx. It was pretty sweet. But they were like 3 years behind on the whole Junkyard Turbo thing

It's the NEW kind of sleeper. How many people would see a car all riced out and expect it to be turbo?

Very true, have seen several ricey cars that were all business under the hood

That is a 4door with a Crx front end
