A few fitment ?? for those EF owners with boosted b-series motors
Ok, I have a question for all the ef's with boosted b-series engines, mostly about turbo fitment.
1. Where did you get your intercooler piping? Did you custom make it?
2. Did your downpipe clear the front crossmember ok? Did you have to cut it any?
3. What radiator are you using, more specifically, what size? Do I need to use a 92-95 half-size radiator to fit the turbo in?
4. Did you have to cut the rad support/hood latch to make room for the turbo or intercooler?
I'm planning on boosting my b18a crx this winter, but I'm a little nervous about everything fitting in the engine bay

1. Drag IC piping that I modified
2. no, got a Jim Fab x member
3. C&R with a custom mount that puts it under the hood latch
4. no just trimmed the impact beam for the IC and shaved the block for the turbo.
Here you can see where I relocated the Radiator.

!) I made my own piping
2)I had to notch the x member a tiny bit...maybe a 4inch long space...well i really just cut a little bit of the lip off.
3)I used the stock radiator...just got a pusher fan to clear up some room. I was using a revhard mani with a t3/t04e...i had maybe a 1/2 inch between the compressor housing.
4)And no i didnt have to cut anything off for my ic piping or ic its self. I had a 28x8x3 ic and it fit the mouth on the stock bumper perfectly.
Damn i miss that turbo....the car just isnt the same without it
