Just pick up the recent issue of Honda Tuning. It's on the cover and all the engine specs are listed inside.

i was thinking of the same thing. i guess not to block the radiator from getting air, and shorter distance for the air to travel through the intercooler and piping. Looks like there are opening in front of the hood directing air to the intercooler.

In front of a stock radiator you already have an A/C radiator--and if you put a big fat intercooler in front of that, well, not very much air is available to cool off the coolant. The intercooler setup is similar to the "V" setup for the RX-7. If you make a V with the radiator and the intercooler 1/2 the cold air from the front of the car is delivered to the radiator and the other half to the intercooler.

Where is the Honda Tuning Mag Sold??? Can anyone scan/post the info?
That turbo/IC set-up is so friggin clean!
It wouldn't be good for a street/track combo right?
1. No A/C
2. No STB
3. No engine damper
(engine damper rocks!)
Other downsides to this setup?
