Charge Pipe Question
 

On 99-00 civic's we have 3 "ports" on the intake. one for the IAT sensor, one nipple for the hose that goes to the crankcase breather, and one more nipple for a hose that goes to a sensor (?) that goes into the block.

So my question is, say if I where to fab my own upper charge pipe, how would I incorperate the nipples and port into the new pipe?

Also, if anyone has a 99-00 civic with a custom charge piping job, could you please tell me what bends you used. I have A/C and P/S btw.

IAT hole, drill it and put it in, jb weld style maybe, possibly for the other sensor as well.

As for breather hole, leave sealed and get a $5 filter to put on the valve cover.

use an aftermarket CAI. ;D

Thats a good way to blow some rings.

Just route it into the compresor intake pipe(the one with no boost ;)).You need negative pressure(suction) in your bottom end.Thats why that port is on your valve cover.Use it ;)

Right now I have a breather on the sensor that is NOT the IAT or the hose coming from the valve cover. Is this ok?

Also, if I were to route the hose that comes from the valve cover to the compressor intake pipe, how would I get the nipple onto the pipe? Can I find a nipple online, drill a hole in the pipe, and get it welded onto the pipe?

BTW: I want to try to use the piping I am going to buy from JCWhitney

i just added a nipple to my compressor intake pipe. i drilled a hole, cut a plastic T for a nipple and jb welded the nipple onto the intake pipe. then i painted the nipple and jb weld flat black to match the paint that was already there. fot the iat i used a 5/16" T and Td' off the BOV hose and used 3/8" hose about 3" to connect the iat sensor to the BOV T. use the pcv for vacuume source and also the charcoal emissions filter-use plastic Ts' for those.

I will try to re-use my current short ram intake. If that doesn't work then I will have to resort to makin my own...
