This is what i got to work with coming out the bottom.



Now only thing i can think of is to route through the top but that leaves my piping really close to the manifold.


Or i can route a back door set up but that wont work because my intercooler is too long.

any tips?

yeah my first thought was going to be back door, look at some F22 set ups, they have the turbo set like you do in picture 2 and then A pipe that runs over the top. its hard to explain

somewat i mean


what chasis is his in?

boostedcivicsir

i think the up and over with wrap may be your best bet, or hack off the end tank and make a back door?

here are pics of mine, u just can't have a washer resevoir , but you can have fog lights (ek) the shop i was working for did custom pie cut piping all the way from turbo-t-body. it took like 6 hours to just fab up lol. cost; not sure, i worked there so i just paid for material at cost of course







my turbo, not pictured obviously, runs a t04s cover with a 90 bend off compressor. i still run my stock bumper reinforcement bar. it is L notched on the back side against the IC, and slightly C notched were pipes run out of ic. all piping is 2.5" except 2.75" charge pipe.

why does your oil pan look like it is a lot lower than the bottom of the rad support? is that correct like that? i don't remember mine being that low

Weld a 45 onto the compressor housing.

I just had a 90 welded onto my compressor housing. Looks professional and much better than running a charge pipe up and over the "frame rail"

thanks all.

i have the same manifold and i run it like you have in the first picture. My next step is to weld a 90* elbow on the compressor housing or get an 90* coupler

...is that the Silver Surfer?

i would just run it from the top.. thats how i did mine with no problems.. heat wrap it if ur concerned about temp.

BrothaSit

i used a radiator hose off a ford pickup work like a charm and cheap too

ebp 99 si

i have mine routed up and over and it fits....but you have to cut the hole out a lil bit and you loose your washer tank

it seems that those manifolds are more of hassle than anything, every person i see with one has all sorts of problems with oil lines and charge pipes

The charge pipes aren't really that big of a deal. Weld a 90 onto the compressor and it's just like any other setup.

I ended up going this route as well.

Ended up getting a 90 welded onto the housing. looks clean, and keeps the piping to minimum instead going up and over.

Thanks guys.
