Today we install PLM's tucked radiator and backdoor intercooler on my turbo b16 civic project car! We had to do a little fabrication to make everything fit but that is the fun part! Part #'s Radiator:PLM-RD-TCK Intercooler:PLM-IC-BD
Looking good. Was thinking those lower intercooler brackets could use some bracing, lot of weight for some flatbar. Probably gonna have issues down road. Looking good 👍
When I was bottom mount my turbo sat too low so I couldn't run a drain line into my pan just using gravity. I had to use a scavenge pump. Well I had tons of issues burning up my scavenge pump internals because the oil was too hot coming out of the turbo. Went through 3 nice pumps and I said screw this. No more issues now that I'm top mount.
It wasn't as efficient on long drives I noticed. But it could have been since my ducting wasn't as effective. My new radiator covers pretty much the entire opening of the bumper, where my csf did not, air will always follow the path of least resistance so don't think I was getting enough air through the csf. With proper ducting I'm sure it works great! People cool V8s with it!
Password JDM, usually they have them in stock here tecnocraftcomposites.com/collections/honda/products/password-jdm-dry-carbon-fiber-cooling-plate-ek-96-00-civic
I got the carbon part from technocrfaft components. I'm running a css b16a3 82mm super tech pistons, eagle rods, OEM bearings, Ferrera valvetrain, ported and polished head, gsr trans, ITR lsd, Garret 63/60 journal bearing turbo, 3 in exhaust, 3 inch intercooler piping, on e85 ish
Did you fully tighten those clamps on your sway bar? My first thought was that your intercooler is going to shift as you drive down the road. Probably more since the mounts are so thin.
Yep! Spliced them both I to the same plug, then ran them off a dedicated relay. Using the factory wiring as a signal cable, and a direct line from the batter for power
