I was wondering if anybody had some pics of how they did there intercooler piping from there fmic to a dsm 14b with the compressor housing to the passenger side? Any seggestions would be great

 

Is this a DSM project that you are working on? We don't have that many DSM members on this board, try www.dsmtuners.com or a board similar to it.

Otherwise, check around for some turbo pictures from the main site and so forth.

Research never hurts, it's not a custom for memeber to start hosting images of thier setup upon individual requests.

Mandrel bends and rubber hose is your friend..

dont forget it :P

 

Any hose recommendations? Order out for silicone turbo format hose....or home depot it?

 

Go to local junkyards and try to rob IC piping off DSM's and Starions, or anything that has some good solid rubber hoses. I even use radiator hoses if they are big enough. (used radiator hoses no... new ones yes!) Home depot really doesnt have much for hose selection other than straight connectors. The 90 bends will ------- burst when boost is turned up. so becarful

I laugh when I see that. Yeah radiator hoses work great. You can home depot it on the cool side of the intercooler. They don't get as hot and won't burst. We went to oreillys and bought the biggest radiatior hose we could find with the most bends in it. But what i am going to do for mine is use metal crome pipe for drains under a sink. Mandrel bent and they are the same size as my turbo outlet. Just have to go from 1 3/4" to 2.5" for my intercooler. I will figure that out somehow.

 

its a 90 civic si and the way the intercooler inlet is it aims to the passenger side but it needs to aim the other way and there is no room really. I will post pics tonight i didnt get a chance to take any yet. When you see you will no what im talking about. Oh and what did you guys do about a fan?
