i will be getting the piping put in for my turbo setup this weekend...and im just curious how people have done the intercooler piping on the drivers side of their 96-00 civics. can anyone show some pictures with their bumper off? (preferably of that angle)...did you all just cut through the plastic flap there? remove the windshield wiper fluid container?

thanks in advance

 

I have a 92-95 sedan. I had to cut a lot away and removed the windshield washer container...I run a bag now (you can buy the kit off of summit or jcwhitney I can't remember).

(You can see the bag near the passenger side shock tower)

 

yeah, i was afraid i would have to take out the windshield washer container..i might still try and fit the pipes in there with the container...would there be an issue of the container melting from the pipe's temperatures?

 

*not my car

 

Hmmm... I did very little cutting, and still have my washer reservoir.

I wonder why mine was different. I used the standard drag stuff.

 

i had my washer tank in for a while...but the pipe did hang lower on that side so i decided just to get rid of it

any way you can take a picture? the bumper is only 4 screws to take off

were the pipe and the tank touching?...if so, did it seem like there was a heat issue?

You can see thats actually 3 pieces welded together. I have one massive 90 degree section coming from the intercooler all the way down to below the A/C compressor.

 

Here is mine, it fits perfectly under the washer and is level on both sides. 2.5 inch piping

 

alright guys, thanks for the replies...i guess i will just have to play with it a little.

thanks again
