Default best way to route intercooler piping in 97CIVICGSR


here's what i got...
97 civic w gsr swap
skunk2 intake manifold
turbonetics t3/t04e
drag manifold and downpipe
spearco intercooler.....(Pretty much a drag gen 3 kit for a gsr with little differences)

i have everything i need except all the piping, i have pieces from a drag3 kit but need to know how to route the piping, any help would be much appreciated, i already searched, PICS would be great, thanks in advance

easiest way do do it would have been to buy the kit for a b18c5 into your chassis since it's basically the same as a GSR with a Skunk2. but if you already have the piping, it will only fit one way with those pipes(the way they are bent) if you can't get it to work, try to cut or add some to get it too.

have you already tried to fit them in there, or were you just asking before you did?

i had a GSR motor in my 98 civic (t3/04e, spearco, etc), charge piping was made to fit with the gsr intake manifold, then i put the skunk2 on and it still fit fine. only problem i ran into was the BOV hitting the hood, so i just had part of the flange cut off, rewelded the BOV and the piping and everything fit fine.
