With that manifold, I had to buy a 90 AN fitting to clear the manifold. Buy one of those, a longer oil feed line, and youd be good to go on that account...

I made it work with what was there. I angled the center section for it to work. I did use the restrictior that came in the kit. I did have to add a short section to the oil line to make it work. So far the car has at least 1k miles and no issues other than I think the FMU isn't dumping enough fuel in. It's a 12:1. I have always used chipped ecu's, never touched an FMU till now. Any ideas on how to add fuel? I have been talking with him about doing a chipped ecu but he wants to see if we can make this work first

I have been running my ebay turbo,IC,Mani,Bov, and pipes for over a year now. ----------er works just like new and boost is always there when I need it. Very reliable and cheap. China for the win. HAHA

I only have the pics that are posted here. I also put all of the plastic splash sheilds back on so all of the pipeing is hidden. Is there something specific you want to see. I will see what I can do


The downpipe isn't available seperatly. I will ask them if they can sell one though. I won't know till Monday at the earliest

Not bad for CDM stuff. When you say you have it for a B,D,K, it's all for the civic or the B is for the integra?

The only problem I see is the intercooler piping without the grove (I don't find the good word... inverted grove? ) to hold the couplers. Is this standard coupler or reinforced?

Good work!

all of the piping comes with bead rolled ends. the only reason the section on the hot side didnt have them is cause the middle if the "U" bend was too wide and i had to cut a few inches out of it. i have a bead roller and could have put them in, but at low boost levels its really not needed. hell, i dont think its needed for up to 20psi. the couplers are 4-5 ply reinforced. they are very nice couplers, way better than the standard CDM stuff

here is a view from the end

I used a converter from an to inverted flare and used 5/16" brake line to extend mine. Only about 1mm of clearance between manifold and line. I hope that's safe.
