CRX Drivers side Charge piping
 

Well mounted the FMIC last night and just looking at my options for the hot side charge piping...looks like the only option I can see is to face the compressor outlet up have a 90 off over to where the washer bottle is (bye bye washer fluid) 90 down 90 forward and then a 90 over to the FMIC...anyone have any other ideas, I am doing the mock up tonight and just trying to figure out where I am using my bends...as is now I might be one short but I'll make a whitey bend...cold side piping is pretty easy I have that down...oh yea my FMIC is about 30" across and I am keeping my bumper so i can't just come straight through the rad support, any ideas are welcome, thanks..Matt

Sounds just like my setup, it works good, had to cut the bumper where the JDM fog lights go, but if yoy have a 88, or 89 frond bumper then you dont have to wory, That is if we are talking about a crx. I used a dremel and scribed my lines with a protrackter. It came out realy clean.

I routed my 2.5" piping that way on my hatch, but I figure since I did a crx nose swap on it, I'm allowed to post :D Actually, if you do it just right you can keep the windshield fluid bottle, just have to ditch the coolant bottle and relocate it.

Seems like all the pictures i looked at had it that way....my coolant bottle is already relocated I'll have to see if i can keep the washer fluid, i guess i have to cut a whole then?

Oh I have a 91 CRX so i have the side vent things and the bumper has been cut up pretty much for my last FMIC and the new one is larter and i was hacking at it last night so cutting isn't a problem

This is on my old D but my LS is getting the same type of mani (already built) and same style piping.

i just took my trusty hole saw..and you know the rest. Wish i had some pics...

Re: CRX Drivers side Charge piping
 

i think i may have to go that route too, i really dont't want to have any piping showing through my foglight hole though, the fmic is painted black, im trying to run it backdoor style with out backdoor endtanks.............yea i know

pics in my avatar if you wanna see what i mean

Re: CRX Drivers side Charge piping
 

yeah thats really the only thing you can do with the crx.. unless you have a backdoor style intercooler, then you might be able to pull something different off.

Well i bolted everything on last night but my mani puts the turbo about 2 inches away from my rad :-\ and there is almost no room for my DP...looks like i may be making my own mani now
