Intercooler pipes for turbo B Series EG?
 
Ok, let me explain myself first..

About 2 years ago I found a tutorial on how to build a turbo kit for the EF at the lowest cost possible. They told the part numbers for ordering pre-bent pipes by JCWhitney that lined up just like a retail turbo kit.

Is there a write-up like this for the EG Civic/Del Sol?? I've thought about it and getting the rest of the kit would be very cheap piece by piece.

It'll only take a few cuts. You'll need a few couplers too.

Thanks for your reply, would this kit I found on ebay be a better solution? I plan on going with a T3/T4, would a 2.5" be better for a street car over a 3"?

You you probably want to go with 2.5" charge piping.

3" is overkill IMO. The ebay set looks like an ok deal, but it's more expensive and you don't get TunerToys customer service with it ;)

1 more thing, do you know the maximum size intercooler that fits on the EG without hacking up or removing the bumper support? O0

NOT a ricer, my car is actually 100% OEM '93 Honda Del Sol Si

I'm just looking for the maximum dimensions so when I purchase a IC it actually FITS.

what i've gathered from retail kits is around 27" x 6.5" x 3"

my GOAL is ~300whp from a B16A @ 15psi with 9:1 pistons, sound reasonable?

not big IC is the best...
