what size piping?
 

The car is a 92 civic si hatch with a jdm b18c motor with an lsd tranny. Turbo is a garret 48/60 internal wastgate , greeddy inetrcooler with 2" end tank piping I am go to fabricate the ic piping myself. I was wondering what u guys thought for material (I have a mig welder) and also what size piping? The coonectors for the piping will be purchased from home depot what do u guys think?

Re: what size piping?
 

I'm curious to know where to get piping from myself. I've read that you should use 2" from turbo to IC and 2.5" from IC to Throttle Body.
Anybody know where to get piping in the North Florida area?

Re: what size piping?
 

Other way around , when its 2.5" from turbo then 2" into throttle body air is forced in

Re: what size piping?
 

I'm running a turbo with the same A/R on a D16Z6 and I have 2" from turbo to intercooler and 2.5" from intercooler to turbo.

Re: what size piping?
 

So your're running boost back into the turbo lol .. You mean from intercooler to intake manifold ?

Re: what size piping?
 

He's recycling boost................................I like it

Re: what size piping?
 

WTF? So what's the proper way? And why?

Re: what size piping?
 

2.5 all the way around...experience learns best.

Re: what size piping?
 

OH ----!! Big mistake ;D. It's 2.5" from intercooler to throttle body.

Re: what size piping?
 

Same here.Never done a kit with anything bigger or smaller.

So far thats the best deal i know of, since you have a welder your all set. As far a couplers, i would just go to napa and get a 2.5" straight radiator hose, use your chop saw to cut out couplers ;D

Re: what size piping?
 

just make sure the size he advertises is just that.

I got the 2" kit from that guy, but the piping was not 2"...its more like 1 and 7/8 :(

I dont know if i wanna use it. I tried sending an email to see if i can get the next biggest size, but he hasnt answered yet. I'll try to send him another one.

Re: what size piping?
 

anything from like 2.25-2.5 should be fine...if the turbo outlet is small then just step it up. meineke dumpsters own you

Re: what size piping?
 

right on Ghetto, I have to say I never thought of that, that ---- is ghetto all the way...........I like it. ;D I just found a new home...in the dumpsters of muffler shops, that way I can practice my welding for just the price of wire :P

Re: what size piping?
 

That is a good idea, specially if ur on a tight budget, I think i'm gonna do some dumpster diving myself.

Re: what size piping?
 

fyi mustang tailpipes have some great bends in them...both sides should do you right, might need one more bend i dont remember

Re: what size piping?
 

I bet most muffler shops have a scrap pile, I think I am gonna take a drive over to the one by my house.

Re: what size piping?
 

go at least 2.5 in. All that talk about big charge piping making you laggy is pretty much bullshit

Re: what size piping?
 

Not saying you're wrong because I haven't researched this topic. But if it takes more air to fill the charge piping (which would be the case with wider pipes), wouldn't it take longer to get to any given boost level? Just like anything, takes less time to fill a smaller volume.

Re: what size piping?
 

the difference is equal to the difference between getting aids from your mother or your sister

Re: what size piping?
 

LMAO I had to read that ---- twice

Re: what size piping?
 

rofl yeah. You all are shitheads. I love you

That was easy to understand :P

Re: what size piping?
 

i dont know about piping but i heard a big intercooler gives lag. iv never had a small one but i do have to say my set up is prety laggy

Re: what size piping?
 

What size intercooler and turbo do you have?

Re: what size piping?
 

14b , 2.5 charge pipes , the inter coller is 21'' wide 26'' with end tanks 9'' tall and 3'' thick it was a bitch to mount it had to cut and weld my rebar and my bumper is cut to ----

Re: what size piping?
 

agreed. use 2.5inch piping on both sides. I've read that some guys make 20whp more going to 2.5inch than 2.0inch. besides... your TB is about 2.5inch's big so why in hell use a pipe that's smaller....?
