Default Intercooler size?

I have a 01 integra R, Just wondering how big I can go as far as and intercooler. Id like to get a big one like 12 inch for height and as far as the width, I have no clue how wide you can go. I know there is a structual bumber underneath the plastic bumper. Is it possble to install a 12in high intercooler without removing the structual bumper?

Also, all I can find is cheap intercoolers on ebay or else super expensive ones like greddy for 700 bucks. Does anyone know where I could find a decent intercooler without paying 700 bucks?

just remember you get what you pay for. personally if i were you and running a forced induction setup then i wouldnt be trying to go the cheap route, going cheap means your going to pay more then what you would if you were just doing it the right way but other then that those ebay ones are okay they getthe job done

Precision makes a decent intercooler for a lot less than the Greddy ones and a hell of a lot better in quality than that ebay junk.

it was like 350 new and he was asking 300 so i made him an offer of 275 shipped. lol he said ok. sometimes the sellers have an offer icon, ask him. its worth a shot. if your gonna do it soon id buy it but if were talking a yr......there will always be good deals. some better some worse
