Default intercooler pipe.

yeah i'm new to this intercooler piping and i did search on googles and didn't find anything about it including here. so on my 93 civic cx with a b18c1 i want to know what kind of intercooler pipe do i need? if i buy those mandrel pipe then do i have to cut it so it will fit? is there a place that i can just buy a intercooler kit pipe that already fit my civic without any cuting?

yes... no.

unless someone has the same swap and is selling their IC piping, or a major shop has mocked this pipe on the same gen car with same similar turbo placement and intercooler size, you have to buy a hacksaw and some home depot couplers.

its not to bad cutting and making them fit.

all of those ebay intercooler kits are just random bends and tubes, not a direct kit (ive installed them before on friends cars) just so you know. i dont really know of any complete kits off hand.

def save a lot of cash by buying a intercooler bend kit off race solutions, cheap. and get some napa 2.5" ID rad hose for couplers. cheap and super solid setup.

oR you can go to the junkyard to take off the charges pipes, from turbo cars.....like the dsm(eclipse) ,volvos,saab, etc!!....and they are more easy to cut....and more easy to fit because they are like radiator hose .......im gonnna do that in my proyect !!
