I had an unfortunate off track experience last year in my race car and put the passengerside front corner of my car into the wall at the end of the straightaway. I'm finishing the rebuild (different chassis) and am now trying to find where I can find a single piece of charge pipe as seen in the original build pictured below with the 2 prebent sections (A) coming off the throttle body and (b) near the approx. 3.5" diameter circular hole that allows the charge pipe to pass through into the bumper cavity. The diameter of the charge pipe is 2.5", and yes I know I will still have to add the flange for the BOV. My chassis is the same as the original, a 92 Civic hatchback.

Thanks for any help, leads, etc.

Any local welder/fabricator could make a new pipe. You'll be hard pressed to find a one piece mandrel bent pipe.

If you just need something as a stop gap till you get a proper one made look on eBay. Lots of sellers have charge piping for 92-00 civics that they sell by the piece.

You won't find one with your bov flange though so you'd have to have one welded on.

The one upper pipe on eBay is dirt cheap though it would have to be shipped.

 

This won't be one piece though. However it will come with the flange for your BOV already welded on. Don't expect the best craftsmanship though...

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I called them about the one they sell but it's made up of more than one piece of pipe. I'd like to see if I can find a solid, single piece like I had on my first build. If I can't find one then I guess I can go back to these guys for theirs.

 

I know that, but the car doesn't run right now due to not having any charge pipe (amongst other things) so it's a catch 22.

hmm, I will try ebay. thanks for the suggestion.

 

Full Race may have some pre bent pipes you can buy or treadstone performance sells all different types of pipe kits, single and pre bent stuff take a look online with treadstone.

 

Called Full-Race this morning and they had exactly what I needed.

 

Why do you always buston Go A? I've purchased numerous products through them that have been great.

 

I used to recommend them. After sending back 3 things in a row for quality issues, I tend to shy people away from them. Why pay good money if it isn't going to be right the first time? Some people have deadlines for things. Screw having to RELY on his "warranty" to get the product in the condition it should have been in the first place. I have had issues with other companies who actually tried to make things right and I still recommend to this day. You shouldn't have to argue with someone to fix garbage when you paid good money for it in the first place. I don't know what you have purchased but my collective total is around $5,000 from them. I think I have bought my right to voice my opinion.

 

you can still drive the car with no charge pipe... you just won't get into boost

 

I bought their sfwd piping kit to be used with a edelbrock victor x manifold and the piping would not align with the hole because it was hiring the shock tower. I really should of complained but I painted the piping before fitment, stupid mistake on my part.
