Default 5tH Gen FMIC instillation

quick question. when you did your FMIC instillation did you move your power steering cooler lines. not sure if i should mount mine over them, or move the cooler into the engine bay.

I will speak on Andyzzles behalf in reference to his car.. lol

He notched out the black impact beam a little and mounted the IC to the actual beam.

As for the PS cooler, he just bent it a little and shoved the left side of it in-between the center radiator support beam and the AC condenser.

Looks exactly like the 92-96 prelude piping I bought for my accord. Supposed to be a direct fit pretty much.

I forgot the brand.. I will find out for you. The ends are flared so the couplers dont pop off as easily.

Did a bypass on the lines and removed it all together. Been years like this without issue.

With my intercooler size and turbo setup there just was no routing it to fit. Precision 750hp intercooler is what I run currently, before was a custom Spearco cored unit that was only slightly smaller.

i am going to take them all out and sand and paint the BBQ grill black. i know the paint wont help with cooling but it will give me the time to reroute them in the bay in between the radiator and radiator support, leaving empty space for the intercooler.

i am going to order this tube with the greddy flange. the rest of the piping will be ran like the civics/integras, i dont want that pipe running acoross the top of my motor
