how are you running your intercooler pipe fromt he turbo over to the side of the inter cooler i am not running a back door.



as of right now the pipe comes from under the car and runs under the bumper the turbo outlet is faced down.

 

has anybody ever tried cutting a hole thru the frame and running the piping through the hole?

 

I have seen a few with cut holes in the unibody.
Usually were I have seen the holes cut are were the horns sit.

 

heres how my piping looks.

 

Depending on how your tubo is mounted running the pipe up the hole were the window washer fluid resivor sits and to the turbo might be a better option the what you have right now.

 

Wow somebody just posted a pic of what I was trying to describe.
This board moves fast.

Then what did you do with your washer tank? Just not have one? and idd you have to make the whole bigger for the pipe

 

You will have to get pretty creative to fit both, maybe a smaller tank out of another car.

 

i think it would take less piping to go through the frame. i was thinking of using the room behind the headlight for my air filter.

yeah that is what i was thinking and then i would have to cut and make the wires work...oh well i am sure i can do it seeing all the other stuff i have done to this car.

 

my civic isnt a daily driver so i just got rid of that tank.

i am a little worried about putting holes in the fram because this being a HF seems a little light on the unibody so not unless i was going to weld a pipe in the fram to suport what i cut out i would not want to do it...but yet still a good idea.

 

I didnt have to make the whole any bigger, the 2.5 inch piping fit just fine.I was also able to make that pipe in 1 piece. Less connections the better I just ditched the windshild washer fluid. I would't drill a 2.5 inch hole threw the frame on a street car.

 

i did this last weekend

 

do you have a pic of how you got to the intercooler from the turbo i see the pipe going across but then where over the head light or hole in the fram or what

 

I took a small household bottle like a windex bottle, but much smaler (and with a cap with a small breather hole on top), and drilled a hole in the side, then I siliconed the pump into that hole. I just relocated it on the back of the firewall ( I had to extend the wires quite a bit, but all worked well. I only did this to keep working fuid in case I wanted to enter a street drag racing contest.

that is a good idea i was even thinking i might do the EVO think a put one more bottle for water but who knows. i am only running 8psi of boost so my IC keeps things pretty cool

 

I drilled a hole throw my frame rail it work just fine and I drive my car every day. Well every day itÂ’s not taken apart.

I will post pic latter today

No frame rail only unibody.

 

anyone know if the water on the intercooler is worth it for low level boost

i am jacking my own thread

 

It is a unibody that part of the unibody is called a rail I don’t now if it called a frame rail or front rail it’s been a long time since I went to auto body school and since I never actual when into that field I'm a little rusty but to make things simple ya I meant the unibody.

 

Its all good
I just try and correct that just like when I see "headers" on a honda?

so going this way is probably the best way? what about going from under like how some EGs and tegs go?or will it stick out to much?

 

it will be to low to the ground if you try and go under

this is true because my car is almost stock ride hight in the picture i showed above
and that is the best i can do to get the pipe up there and it still does not work very well i have hit the pipe a couple times on driveways
