Aftercooler Parts list and pointers
“Here is a starting reference point for those interested in doing your own aftercooler setup. Some things are missing as far as parts go, but that will work itself out.
List of parts needed to “make” an aftercooler for the JRSC manifold for the 2002-2006 RSX platform.
92mm Radiator:

There are two shrouds that wrap around the radiator to be able to mount to a PC. Take these two shrouds off to avoid them coming off into your manifold. I sanded the bare metal portion of the cooling core, primered then painted gloss black, to prevent rusting. Next, you will need a ¼ NPT tap and cutting oil. Open up the existing holes to the third cutting thread on the tap.
Heat Exchanger, Pump, etc…:

Water to Air Intercooler Radiator - 24x12x1 (Type 100)
Water to Air Intercooler Pump and Harness, Bosch Cobra
Water to Air Intercooler Installation Kit (350/600HP)
Fittings:
2 - ¼”NPT to -8AN (male to female)
2 - -8AN Bulkhead Fittings (male to male)
2 - -8AN Bulkhead Nuts
2 - -8AN Stat-O-Seal Washers
2 - -8AN Forged 45degree Union (female to female)
2 - -8AN to -12AN coupler (male to male)
2 - -12AN to ¾” Barb fitting (female to male)
Temperature Sensor:
You can use one of two temp sensors; Wells Brand: SU107 / pigtail 235 or SU109 / pigtail 254 from AutoZone / wherever. One sensor is an open element design and the other is closed. You decide which one you want to run.
Bottom Access Plate:
You need to fabricate the plate yourself.
Assembly:
After you cut out the threads on the cooling core (radiator), take the ¼”NPT fitting, Teflon tape, and thread it in. Teflon tape the sensor and thread it as well. After that, everything should fall into place.”

Glycol mix to be run in the winter time instead of straight steam distilled water.
What is glycol? Courtesy of Wikipedia
“The major use of ethylene glycol is as an antifreeze in, for example, automobiles and personal computers. Due to its low freezing point, it is also used as a deicing fluid for windshields and aircraft. Ethylene glycol is also commonly used in chilled water air conditioning systems that place either the chiller or air handlers outside, or systems that must cool below the freezing temperature of water.”
It freezes in Texas so it’s a good idea to run.
Auxiliary cooling fan(s)
He is considering throwing in an auxiliary cooling fan(s) to act as a "pusher" (lots of stop-and-go freeway driving in the Texas heat) in front of the heat exchanger.
Surge tank
This will give the aftercooler expansion capacity and be self-burping so to speak.

It's for the Cobra and basically splices right into the heat exchanger lines. It is item #80-233.
Items of interest from tmartin:
Bottom access plate
Plan on making a new plate to reincorporate the bottom JRSC bracket to support the blower and maybe lesson the vibrations and therefore help the IAT sensors last longer.
IAT Sensor
Still being worked out but attempting to rubber mount the IAT sensor to lesson the stress it encounters from being on the blower.
Bell intercooler
Looking to use a Bell intercooler and weld support arms which will be used to weld the core to the bottom access plate. The hope is to take any stress off the water line fittings and give more support to the core since it is a rough environment in the blower.
