i have the greddy kit on my sohc civic. i have added a intercooler, but the greddy kit did not come with piping for a intercooler.
does anyone has any suggestions on how to get the piping from the turbo to the IC? when i look at it i looks like the DP is directly in the way..

any pics or suggestions would help a tone.
thanks
Kelly

This is a pic of my piping for my custom kit, but it is pretty generic for any kit for a civic.

Can't you just cut the existing greddy piping that runs along the front bumper and add the intercooler between the two ends? I was going to do that, but I had to mount the intercooler on the front of the radiator support so the piping wouldn't line up.

I ended up using the greddy downpipe and ghetto rigging the u bend that would connect the turbo to intercooler.

 

thank pollito, i searched your site but didnt see your thread about it.

Dendar: the stock piping doesnt run in front of the bumoer. it runs from the turbo straight to the passenger side fender, then up to the throttle body, like a CAI.

i understand the pipe routing, im un sure about how to get around the DP. ill try to get pics up tomoorw so you can see what i mean.
thanks for the help everyone

 

i had the same issue as your when i installed an intercooler on my greddy kit
the way the compressor outlet faces it toward the block a bit firing downward. I at first had a 90 degree bend going below the downpipe but it got really resally banged up. FInally racerxadam helped me with my intercooler piping andwelded them all. the way he made the compressor outlet piping was to cut a 90 degree bend piping in the middle of it and then face that forward. then use the other piece to weld onto that one... hard to explain, but i know st00pidhas a picture of something like that

 

i got it all figured out.
the guy that did my piping hooked it up.

he made the piping come off the compressor and 45* torwards the radaitor, then 45* towards the driver side , straight pipe to the fender well. then a u bend to the IC, then 2 45* up to the original charge piping.

thanks for everyone how helped
