NB suspension screws up stock Greddy plumbing -- alternatives?
 

A few months ago I put NB suspension on my 91, which I thought was a good idea. More shock travel is awesome, though unfortunately the mounts stick up into the engine bay and one directly obstructs where the AFM should be with the Greddy kit. Fuck.

So I saw how a couple of you relocated the AFM to right on the turbo inlet, which doesn't look like it would fit for me... though maybe Stripes' pipes would, since I want to do an IC anyway. Could someone using those pipes give me a good picture of how the AFM sits? Has anyone relocated the AFM without having to re-buy all the greddy plumbing?

now would be a good time to just get stripes intercooler setup and have that much better of a setup

I had the same issue when I put a 99 sport suspension into mine. Used that opportunity to run the AFM straight off the front of the turbo and "adjust" some of the other piping. It's a tight fit and you may need a different air filter, but it's definitely possible. IIRC, I used a smaller K&N filter that angled down a little bit. I posted a thread a long time ago about it, but can't find it as I think posts over a certain time were pruned.

Second pic looks familiar..:bigtu:

if you look close that's an NB tophat underneath my "custom" intake elbow.

I made a DIY intake for my swapped CRX awhile back and recycled some of the piping into that intake in the pic. It's part of a 2.5" u-bend I bought from JCWhitney.

i just put in nb suspension a couple days ago. i just cut that 'U' shaped pipe in half and extended it with a coupler just enough for it to sit flat so the hood still closes.
