I recently picked up this car and want to put stock bumpers back on. As you can see the intercooler is WAY 2 big. Just wondering from these pics can you tell if the stock bumper will fit. I know I will have to cut inside of the bumper and the bottom but im worried that the top of the stock bumper won't fit over the intercooler.

I dont see why not, people in forced induction frorum have bigger ones than that, and modify them to fit all the time.

 

thats the biggest IC I have ever seen on a honda lol...jeebus! stock doesnt have a prayer unless u aint gonna use the re-bar

 

I thought it was the radiator for 1/2 a sec.

 

It came with the car when I bought it. Its overkill

 

bet it does more harm than good

it'll cause a good deal of turbo lag with all that area to fill

 

Tru but it will be temperary till I get a smaller intercooler and piping

 

how many damn psi are u boosting!?!!

i say put it on and see hwat happens...

 

Just 6lbs

 

omg that thing is humongous... i say you will have a hard *** time fitting the stock bumper over that thing. I have an intercooler thats 9" tall and i had to chop the bumper support almost all the way out and the stock bumper still doesnt clear it correctly, it sits at an angle, like its nose is in the air.

I think you could possibly make it fit, but you'd have to cut the bottom of the stock bumper off and have the intercooler hang below the bottom of the bumper

 

I wont be using the bumper support.

 

yep it would fit!
nice setupp!!

 

What kind of intercooler is that?

It is a monster for sure! I thought my Precision was big

 

i don't think it will fit at all...could be wrong but that IC is just huge height wise. Have you thought of getting a smaller IC?

HAHA

 

just run around without a bumper on and scare people...

 

Off topic, what kind of aftermarket bumper is that?? My friend has one like that and we thought it was a wings west bumper, but the fog light holes are way smaller. Anyone know??

... and see hoe many tickets you can get for not having a front bumper.

 

talk about turbo lag!
r u running 6lbs. or 60
haha

 

where the hell does the air pass through it i only see one pipe comming out and dont see another one comming in...... It looks like your using it for an intake or something....

Probably the back side. Think about it, really only other option.

Yager-

 

Yes, the other pipe is behind it. I've tried to put that slim metal piece that goes inbetween the lights and stock bumper on and there was no way that was going to fit. So if the bumper did actually fit on it would not look good with a gap inbetween the bumper and headlights. So i'm just going to pick up a smaller intercooler and redo the piping. And maybe go bob-sleding with my old intercooler .
