The NPR intercooler comes in two flavors, large and small. I intend to use the small NPR IC on my next RX-7, it is a practical size for a stock and upgraded stock Turbo II turbos and can support the power levels I need it for. It may be somewhat big for some DSM turbos or some of the other 'little' turbos, and it may or may not fit the 5G body. The large NPR intercooler is HUGE, avoid those, you will get serious pressure drop if you can even fit it.

That Saab Viggen one looks nice, but I don't know any details. $175 new from the dealer just sounds sweet to me.

If you feel like it, you could probably squeeze in an RX-7 TII intercooler as a front mount. Welding two together and front mounting them is a common RX-7 trick, but I have no idea if that would be OK in a 5G Civic body.
