I gotta say I've never seen an FMIC mounted that way, lol.
It actually works quite well, cools from top and bottom & never have got noticeable heat soak with the turbo, it also ducts the air directly to my rad / out my hood vents.
Flat mount front mount intercooler i guess you could call it?

That front mount is a damn good idea. Did you ever consider mounting it at like a 20 degree angle to catch more wind?
this was done 5 years ago and works fine so havent thought of changing it lol where my bumper sits its perfectly level to the intercooler so it acts like ducting.. angling would work just as well though!

^^ yea Ive seen that on a few cars and at first I was like wtf, but apparently it works very well, I guess it only works on certain cars? cuz not all cars have that much room to put the intercooler flat?
Flat mounted intercoolers work well on mid engined cars, I assume. On my car anyway, you can cut open the bottom of the trunk and mount the intercooler there. Larger core than the usual side mount or top mount, and lots more airflow.

I remember I saw someone make an under tray for his flat front mount to tunnel more air to it
Brought the car out for the first time since the end of September. I was debating about putting the car up for sale and leasing a car through work...but then I drove it and for now have changed my mind

Thanks! Yup that was me, and I remember seeing you and another person hop in the Civic, had to get some octane booster and fuel stabilizer for the M, the S/C doesn't like old gas lol.
