I looked over several threads and writeups on diy piping for integra. i'm still a bit unclear on how many bends to get..

lets say if to divide it into sections

what type of bend(s)/how many from compressor to intercooler (going around driver side)

2. what type of bend(s)/how many for lower charge pipie (from intercooler to upper charge pipe)

3. one 180 degree for upper charge pipe?

any help is appreciated.. thanks!

 

90 off the turbo. 180 to the intercooler. 180 from the intercooler into the engine bay. 90 towards the throttle body. Some straight section. The cut to the throttle body can vary in angle, but another 90 should be more than good enough. So basically buy 4 U-bends and you should be okay.

 

You need about 1.5 to 2' of straight pipe too, and you can substitute one of them 90's off the turbo for a silicone 90

Im my opinion it would of cost me more for the DIY kit since I dont have a welder anymore, I just paid $300 for a kit made just for my Turbo Manny, Intercooler Size and Int. Manny placement and put the BOV where ever I want it..... just hope its right on.

 

yea dont buy a premade setup if you have a weird mani or turbo or intercooler, it will most likly not fit at all, diy is the way to go if you have an odd setup, and if you have the time, something to cut pipe and something to tak weld the seams, cuz then u can have a welder finish weld them.

 

I have faith in the company on here that is making my piping, they have a car sitting there that has the exact same manny, intercooler and int manny so it should be dead on *****.

 

on my old turbo civic(RIP) had a pre-fabbed one. was some tight fits but i got it to work pretty well, plus they bead-rolled the ends for me so couplers ever came loose!!!
