i have the DRAG 3 piping on my turbo setup, the top pipe touches the tranny mount,is there anything i can do? this is on a hybrid btw, 93 civic w/ GSR swap.

im just worried w/ the engine rocking the piping will get damaged over time, cant bend the pipe so the only thing ive thought of is maybe putting a piece of rubber underneath it? any tips>?

 

 

It's kinda stupid and obvious but losen the clamps and make sure the piping is all the way butted against the throttlebody and pipe that comes from the intercooler. You can cheat the piping quite a bit to make it work. If worse comes to worse put something between the mount and the pipe becuase it will eventually wear a hole.

 

yep, just loosen the clamps and wiggle around the piping till you get a good fit as eh-d said.

 

oh i forgot, you might have to cut the end of the i/c piping that goes to the throttle body, this makes it a little shorter and makes it fit better, i had to do this on my h23a. just use a hacksaw on it, but make sure if you cut it to sand off the edges of the pipes so no metal goes into the motor.

 

thanks guys, i'll try those tips out.

now my freaking tial bumps the hood!

looks like i have to buy the elbow, suks major goose nuts, but i love every minute of it

 

yea get the 90deg fitting for the boost controller line going to the tial

 

actually its the entire tial hitting the hood, i have to buy the elbow that connects to the manifold,i have the maxrev mani sooooo,i guess it dont fit quite as well when u have a gsr powered civic

 

I heard that you need to trim the hood frame sheetmetal with a Tial in a hybrid like 90% of the time.

 

oh great, i'll get the elbow see if that helps. trim the sheetmetal seems pretty tough to do though...

 

Drill + dremel. Air powered preffered

Charge pipe was also rubbing on the tranny mount of the install I just did.
