Charge piping - what size?

Hi,

I'm running a greddy 92-95 civic kit on a DOHC ZC @ 5psi and am about to get my charge piping tidyed up to make way for an intercooler/chargecooler. One question, what size should i use 50mm or 60mm?

As i'm running low boost (and don't intend to run anymore) would 60mm be too big and increase lag?

Cheers,

50mm will be fine.

Make it the same size inner diameter and your throttle body for highest efficiency!

Thanks for the info folks!

50mm it is then (and it's a nice size to work with as well as the rex is tight for space). I'm going to get the intercooler/chargecooler custom made so i can get them to put whatever fittings i want on. I'll check my throttle body's I.D. also.

Cheers,
