Im getting closer to doing my turbo set up and want to order an intercooler and piping kit.

I was looking at the ebay kits and the piping doesnt seem like it will work for us, i want to do a traditional pipe routing not the over the radiator style.

So what do you have and what bends and couplers did you need?


I will be using a home built exhaust mani, t3 turbo,and external wastegate, all on a 1.6L.

eBay Motors: 2.5" Turbo Intercooler Piping Honda Civic Prelude CRX R (item 120374801438 end time Feb-11-09 16:45:14 PST)

I've done the cold side pipes, need to finish hot side now

 

Wow cant beat that, let me know how it goes, and maybe post pictures when it done.

I did mine with just the pipes and couplers that come in most of the ebay intercoolers the only thing i had to go buy was a 2-2.5 coupler for the turbo, a home depot special, also did the normal routing not over the radiator. Its easy if you have a saw and tape measure.

 

I bought the scraps (2") from a muffler shop, a whole box of bends for $30 on eBay (setup castoffs). Welded it up in about 30 minutes, all done.
Miatas need very little IC piping (at least compared to my Z).
This is how I got the bends for my 3" exhaust as well, same price.
HUGE PITA in making the exhaust (well) though.
