I need a pic of how the intercooler piping is run on a 91 civic with a drag manifold and the stock cross member I see no way for the piping to go from the turbo to the intercooler. The outlet of the turbo is about 3in from the cross member.




And yes I did a search and nobody putes turbo on 88-91 civic now I see why

 

My friend just recently put a greddy kit on his 91 CRX, he actually cut a notch in the front cross member. The charge pipe than comes down real low, you can actually see the pipe underneath the car.

Heres kinda what he did.....

 

is he running a intercooler and it's just of to one side or no intercooler

i wish i had the money for a jimfab

 

Is it possible to loosen the bolts on the compressor side and rotate the housing so the outlet faces more toward the block. i know I did it with the exhaust housing but I dont know about the compressor housing.

 

yea, u can do that, no problem!!!

 

What about (from the turbo) straight down, then a 90 degree bend, cut a hole in the fender well area thing where the washer resoiver used to be, and curve it out from there. This is how I've seen them done before when the compressor wheel is on that side.

edit: my bad, didn't read it's 3" away from the cross member. Yea, I think you're SOL unless you buy an aftermarket x member

 

I can rotate the compressor side no problem

I think I’m going to have to cut the frame some maybe a lot

I can’t turn the turbo around well I could but then I would have to get new down pipe

I KNOW there are some pic’s of some 88-91 CRX or HB on here with a turbo on them that are running there pipe like I'm trying to I just can’t find them CAN SOMBODY HELP.

I NEED PIC”S PLEASE

A little while ago (1-3 months) in the CRX/4th gen forum, there was a big *** thread about everyone's turbo set up. I tried searching but for some gay *** reason I can't find it. There were a ton of people w/ turbo set ups, b16's, b18's, drag kits, custom, greddy, you name it. If you can find that thread you can PM those people and what not, also...have you tried posting the same question in the crx forum?

 

i posted in the crx/EF civic fourm

Ya I remember that post and I can’t find it either I just spent the last hr trying to find it I think I will spend the time under my hood trying to figure this out then on the computer I was hopping some body could remember the name of the post or somebody that participated in it would read my post and link me to it.

 

Here's some pics of mine. Hope they help.



Sorry I don't have any pics of it all together but you get the idea. The pipe comes down from the compressor, takes a 90 degree bend, runs over the crossmember and curves under the frame/front end where the driver's side tow hook once was.
