I have a friend of mine who is interested in doing a Group buy for some custom intercoolers. We have used one of his cores on our Turbo Z6 Hatch. The intercooler is very large, and fits very good in the 5g Civics.



Core Size: 30in (wide) x 5 1/4in (tall) x 2in (deep)
End Tanks: 2.25 (wide) x 5 3/8in (tall) x 3in (deep)
Piping: 2.5 OD x 1.25 thick / 2.75in Long





Heres the Deal, the only come in one size, we cannot chop them in half and make them shorter. If you want polished end tanks that is an extra 15 bucks.

A simple Group Buy of 5 units for $200 bucks a peice.. This hasnt officially started yet, I just wanted to know if their was an interest in this item.

Let me Know..

Thanks

dimensions?

 

too long, and not deep enough.

 

It says in the post...

Now dont ask me if this will fit in your Integra, because I dont have a clue, I recommend you taking off your bumper taking some measurements and visualize how you will run your charge pipes. 5g Civics are a peice of cake to install this, but it may be tougher on differnt cars.

that is a really nice price

 

what do the turbo gurus say about this ic? im very interested but to me it doesnt seem thick enough? and what did you have to hack up on the civic?

I will be honest with you, for Price.. Function and looks this intercooler is a great deal. It works excellent, hardly any pressure drop at all. Being 2 in. thick is nothing really to be concerned about. The fact that it is so long can make it tough to install on some cars. If you are good at modifying things this should be no big deal at all. On the civic we installed that cooler on, their was some slight shaving we had to do to the backside of the bumper, and thats about it. Charge pipe routing was very easy.

what are you guys talking about??? this kit looks damn near perfect for turbo civics, turbo civic w/ swaps, and potentially other integras... i'm in for sure, there's no need to go messin around w/ $500+ intercoolers just for a name, in my opinion. and for all the guys w/ stock bumpers this is a bonus because it fills in the whole opening! look on ebay, there's a guy that sells custom made fmic's that are going for $100 more than these and i think they are smaller.

 

I would be down, I will make this shiz fit!! when do you need the money?


Rob

 

interested. but not in for sure yet.

 

I would be interested, but I need a taller version for sure

 

i agree taller would be better. can he get us a taller one for close to the same price?


Rob

 

I'm interested, got the money. But would this fit a 89 Civic HB?

 

not to **** on your thread, but I bought an IC from a guy in Vancouver Canada and he used the exact same pictures you did. Strange.BTW I paid $575 CAD for mine. as for taller is better. this ic (if its the same) is pretty much the same size as the opening in the factory bumper. any taller and you have to remove the rebar.

I hope this is not a scam. good price on this size IC.

no this isnt a scam, this is the guy from homemade turbo.com they are good guys nothignt to worry about guys, that blue civic is THERE project. nothing to worry about!


Rob

 

the only mod needed were to the side "vents" in the bumper. need to cut out the grilles to fit in the plumbing. I wonder if he bought the IC's from you guys?

 

rjardy - I will make another Post for the offical group buy on this item, It should be very shortly.

paul_vang - like I said its the only size they are going to come in. They fill the entire front mount of most civics.

ijjz - For 4g civics, I honestly dont know.. I am getting one for myself to try in my 89 Crx SI. I am sure their will be some modifications to get it to fit nicly.

Turbo E - I am sure you have seen these coolers around ebay, since my buddy sells them their and off his website. http://tjn115.tripod.com/icweb.htm

This is no type of scam at all, I am just helping a friend out on a group buy.

So far we got a few people interested... Anymore?

Jeff Frank

 

$200 bucks!! Sounds good for the price. have you guys tried it on 00 Civic Si yet. When will the GB start? I am in!!!!!

 

when does the GB end? im definitley interested but i just spent all my $ on a manifold and DP.

 

I may be interested but I'm not positive cause it may not fit on a 4th gen 1996 Prelude. What do you guys think?

 

I'm in for sure, and can have the money sent anyway you need. since this is from the guy from http://www.homemadeturbo.com but will have the money on the first

 

ask him if he can weld 2 of them together with one larger end tank

 

i'm in if you accept paypal

 

Would the i-cooler come with mounting brackets?

 

As long as the IC doesnt need serious modifications, the bumper I can live with hacking the inside up. If you can let me know, then I would like to be in on this. I'd go measure my self, but I currently have no tools here until I get home.
