Civic charge pipes???
 

Hey everyone: Matt here.

I'm in the middle of my turbo project. I just got the fuel set up and running (afc hack w/ dsm450's) and it's running pretty good. I have the turbo bolted to the manifold and ready to drop in, and i'm a downpipe and a set of charge pipes away from complete. Oil fittings in the mail. Anybody have any suggestions for what to use for charge pipes? The OD on my turbo outlet is a measly 2" as are the inlet / outlet's on my intercooler. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as CHEAP charge pipes / connectors that I can use? What diameter? I need to be able to ORDER these things from somewhere since the places around here don't have ----. All the speed shops have crapped out. Any help from anyone who has charged (and intercooled) their 92-95 civic would be greatly appreciated. I took a whole bunch of pics and will post them tommmorow. I'ts really late! Thanks!

your in luck my friend... im working on that ---- this weekend.... pretty much same setup.. (94EX)I went to home depot and bought a 10ft (2in) steel pipe.... im taking it to a muffler shop in Tijuana... and there gonna bend the pipe so it can fit my turbo to IC, and IC to throttle body... and there gonna weld an adapter for my BOV... you can try having a muffler shop bend and weld you some charge pipes... or i can sell you some bent angles if your interested and you can just buy the straight pipe.. cut it and fit it with 2in silicone connectors...

when i get this done i will post pics and prices...

Till then that should give you an idea of what to use or do

Home depot has that? I've been there a million times gathering parts and it musta slipped my eye. Thanks for the info, will do!

yeah,,, there in the electrical section.... there these big ass pipes... you gotta buy the whole thing... you cant buy it cut... but its pretty cheap.... dont go to the plumbing section... or where they have sprinkler systems section... because they have pipes there too.. but they weigh a ---- grip and cost way more... so just hit the electric part... buy the pipe and have your local muffler shop bend some... shop around... call and ask for prices... cause some shops are rip offs...

Punk.. Are you having these pipes mandrel bent, or just crush bent to fit your setup?

Re:Civic charge pipes???
 

I think there mandrel cause they dont have any wrinkles or anything on them... just a smooth ass solid bend...

Re:Civic charge pipes???
 

no one in tijuana has a mandrel bender. thats called a smooth bend. so your running like 1.5 now.
