dead links, bro

 

Fixed

You think 2 inch piping is too small for a T25 on a D16Z6 @6-7 psi???

 

2 inch piping would be OK if it were mandrel bent. Crush bending will decrease the flow by 30%....so if they were only $10 i would go back and get some 2 and 1/4. Actually if it was me i would go buy mandrel bends and cut and fit them myself...but this is only $10 so i see why you went that route Good luck man.

dunno bout the size, but that looks sweeeeeet

 

You lucky bastard with that aftermarket front end, I have the same intercooler in a 90 CRX with stock bumper. I had to mount it about 3 inches higher so I had to cut a lot of bumper support out and hack apart the bumper cover. Looks good

 

$10?!?!?! freakin sweet dude! i'm getting ready to boost my sohc zc, seeing this thread gets me all moist.

maybe it was covered allready, but what type of bends did you get? mandrel or crush bends? and how'd you use coat hangers to match the charge piping specs? just bent them where piping was going to go so the shop had a line to work with?

-2in piping seems a bit small...

keep us posted on the project

hmm, looks decent, whats your setup ? junkyard setup? if so, screw it, it will work good enough, i plan on getting mandrel bends from jc whitney but i dont know what to order cause everyone says different stuff.

 

yea I just took a clotheshanger and straightened it out. The bent it the way I needed the pipe. When I got home with the pipe they fit like it was made for the car lol.

yea its a junkyard setup.

NC boys cant afford the greddy stuff lol

they are crush bent pipes

 

Looks tough! I especially love the pic of your foot in the 1st pic!! Can anyone say "CHEESE"?

 

did you spill paint on your foot?

 

i guess you get what you paid for... whats up with your foot??? oh yeah looks good by the way, the pipes that is

I used 4 on my charge pipes and downpipe.

 

I agree, can't beat the price for backyard turbo. nice foot shot by the way. maybe you should sell it to a website that specializes in foot fetishes. lol then you could afford a boost controller? ha ha

 

For being crush bent as you say they are, they sure look damn smooth to me. Looks damn near mandrel bent
