Is that a JRC FMIC? Too small man. Even my d-series FMIC at 10 psi wa bigger than that. It also looks like that it is a tube and fin design. With your built motor, why not go bigger and more efficient. Get a bar and plate design such as Precision or Spearco.

Low boost is not the issue here man. It is "efficiency". Why spend so much money on your motor then use a cheap IC....

I'm a big fan of Spearco myself. But then again, my IC was made for another application and it's HUGE. It's supposed to be a direct fit for Mustangs, but I had to do a little "massaging" to get it in there.

There are two major air-to-airintercooler design: "Bar and Plate" and "Tube and Fin". You can easily tell the difference by looking at the end tanks to view the design. You'll see that bar and plate also has fins inside tha bar in which charged air passes through, whereas tube and fin doesnt. Bar and plate has been proven to remove heat better due to its design. Remember the most of the cooling (heat transfer) occurs on the first 3-5 inches of the intercooler.

i'm running a 6x3x30 johnnyracecar.com intercooler. Awesome quality and unbeatable price. Lot of people on HMT use them too. You can also get them at his Ebay auctions

go to HMT.com cause if you click on the sponsors tab there's another company called CCA that does cheap intercoolers, and i think they're like my JRC

Both JRC and the lower CCA FMIC are tube and fin. Ha ha... my civic is even on CCA's site.

I dont know if you want to keep your bumper support. I took mine off to allow mounting for a decent size intercooler

yeah i still have mine, tight fit, but it fits. I figure unless you're looking for more than 300 hp something like a 6x3x30 should suffice. Plus you could always modify the support a little if you had to.
