eBay universal IC pipe kits
Anyone used these? I thought i saw one person who'd installed them. I'm assuming welded would be better, but at relatively low stock Greddy PSI would that matter all that much? Also, has anyone seen a good source for shorter pipes that already have fitments for a BOV and oil recirc?

I was thinking the same thing....you would probably have to use more silicone couplers than a "normal" setup, but I'm not sure if you would get all the bends your would need.
|
Buying one of these kits is on my TO DO list when I get the money. My IC inlet piping is not mandrel bent and I would really like it to be.

There are different kits with different sets of pipes. One slightly pricier kit also included t-clamps instead of the cheapos. I suppose you'd need to do some cutting as well as fitting an oil return on one of the pipes. I think some vendors actually sell pipe with various taps.

Aside from buying the I/C kit sold round these parts :bowdown:
I have an ebay purchased diy pipe kit with (actually decent) couplers and t-bolt clamps. 2.5, black 6061 Aluminum. See if I can find it if you want.. You will need to bead the pipes yourself, however. For pipes that already have fitments for the BOV, you're going to need a kit for a Miata. If you are just looking for a universal pipe with a bov flange, I've used this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-5-I...27052868QQrdZ1 Is that what you meant? Not sure about that oil recirc.. |
i bought one of these kits a little while back and am very pleased w/ it. I opted to find one seller who sold the silicone couplers w/ t-clamps and also two pipes of each bend. For the vacum lines and bov i got a local machine shop to do it for $10 and i provided the flange for the bov. If you like do it yourself kinda stuff (which i do) then go ahead and give the kit a try, all you'll need is a sharpie, ruler, and a sawsall and your good to go.:bigtu:

Yeah! That's what I was hoping to hear. What size IC are you using and where did you route the pipes?

Are you talking about the Stripes kit? Also, as to oil recirc--where do the tiny amounts of oil that flow through the intake exit on your system, or do you just let it burn?
Cheers, Jon |
Can anyone post the actual kit that they bought or the vender? What size of intercooler did you guys buy to utilize these kits?
|
Good question! Wish I'd asked it in the first place.
Cheers, Jon |
