leurven Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 No didn't need to do anything. We did move the bracket a little that holds the AC canister but that was when we were trying to use 2.5". It would not be necessary now. I'll post up some more pictures later tonight.

gdizzle Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I still don't understand why you haven't moved the IC up. :monkey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leurven Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I still don't understand why you haven't moved the intercooler up. I don't feel like hacking my front end chassis up. I'd rather pay to buy the correct size that do something irreversable and potentially weakening to my car. That is the only chassis piece in the front of the car hold the two sides together.

leurven Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I'll get something smaller. I'd prefer it that way especially if this is going to be a kit I will sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn T5 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 The 350 hp Precision intercooler I'm using sits just above the bottom of the bumper (meaning I THINK the skid plate may be able to fit back on) and didn't require cutting anything to fit.

Auburn T5 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/prod/AS1021apparently they're extremely well designed. The shop I installed it at had a 600 hp beast civic that had the next size up precision unit. They originally had a generic ebay intercooler on the car and it made around 550 to the wheels, swapped the intercooler for the Prcision model that had the identical dimensions and it made over 60 more hp just from that.All that being said, I'm sure with the lower HP levels most of us are making, the difference between generic and name brand probably won't make as much of a difference but I'm wanting mine to take me as far as the rods in my engine will allow.Mark I believe is using the next size up precision model and didn't have any problems if I recall.
