Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

I have everything I need for my used turbo kit (goes on 98 Civic EX) except for the intake pipe that goes from where the waterbox use to be, up to the intake manifold. I have gone everywhere asking if they supplied intake pipes that would fit and no one seems to have one. EBay does not seem to have what I am looking for unless I pay $250.00 plus shipping. Is there anyone who can help me with this? Any help at all would be appreciated, thank you.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

Umm, how do I make one?

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

you can use exaust piping crush bend or even ABS pipe the black pvc pipe...just make the bends according to how you want to route your pipes..like a cold air intake..

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

I wouldnt need some sort of machine to make these bends? What am I suppose to bend them with my hands? What is an ABS pipe?

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

just buy some u bends from JC whitney or some crush bend from pep boys..brush bend will work just as good as mandrell....

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

or you can buy rubber bends from homedepot in the plumbing section but they do give out..

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

I take it crush bend means I can bend it with my bare hands? That'll make me feel manly

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

its not hard to make your own..its like making a intake...why did you buy that kit anyways? how much was it?

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

The greddy kit pipe goes down like a cold air intake, doesn't it, thru the same hole, so you could buy a cheap ass ebay intake, the ones that are like $25, and use it.

or use a u bend from jc whitney, they are like $25.00

easy way is go to muffler shop and ask them to bend you some 2.5 or 2 for the greddy kit. Shouldnt be more than 30 bucks but i would recommend down the line getting some mandrel bends.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

bad ass info im doin that for my new charge pipe ,last time i used my stock rubber hose and just put steel j's and clamps with rubber connectors and i held out never blew the hose even with 7 psi with no wg :-*, i could tell that one couple was about to go though cause it got all soft and had a small hole :-\

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

Those cheap $25 air intake kits dont work, I have already tried one. I only paid $1,000 for the turbo kit, already have the missing link, fmu, blow off valve, downpipes, everythign except for an intake pipe. I am really getting frustrated about it.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

what $1000 :o man this is HOME MADE TURBO not buy a greddy kit and get help on making an intake pipe . sorry but some one had to say im just sorry that it had to be me :-\

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

thats not that bad..my own setup is around there or a few hundred more

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

i spent 200 bucks on my ---- most went to the manifold and the smic

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

I apologize for not knowing where to get an intake pipe, its just I dont exactly want to be so cheap about it that it breaks or doesnt last. Keep in mind I still have to drill and weld a blow off valve in to this pipe.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

just use a friggin cold air intake.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

and you want to turbo your car? good ------- luck, you better start reading now and often. do some research, and search, this will keep me from flaming the ---- out of you next time

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

Like I'm suppose to ------- know what crush bend pipes are to put a turbocharger kit on my car? There are complete turbo kits you can put on a Honda that bolt on, (not to mention the other things such as drilling holes, and tapping into a oil pressure sending unit) I don't know where you've been. Excuse me for asking for help.
The only cold air intake I have seen that will work is an AEM cold air intake, and its like 250 buxors... :(

This one will work...why does it have to be an AEM ???

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

Even with a cold air youll still need some more piping just take the bitch to the muffler shop tell him you need some pipe bent and your good to go.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

I've already been to a few muffler shops, one of them claimed it would be illegal for them to do it. The others always say their bending machine is broken or it wont bend more than 3/4 inch. It's like they dont want to do it or something.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

Post pics of the engine bay and how you want it done.Maybe I can help you out.I have alot of pipes laying around.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

You have to find the ghetto shady ass shops and if worse comes to worse buy 2 cheap ebay cai's and get out the hack saw.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

dude, lighten up, all i'm saying is that you need to RESEARCH. a crush bend is one type of bending of pipe, by which they "crush" the diameter of the pipe to make it bend.

Pretty self-explanatory.

As far as i know, do these so called "kits" come with charge pipes? let me give you a minute to think.....

.....ok, good enough, no, they don't. that's why you bought a used kit, and why you're looking for more piping, isn't it? i was simply stating that you need to research if you don't know what crush bends, mandrel bends, or ABS pipe is.

this website is dedicated to helping people out, but not when they're assholes. don't bite the hand that feeds you

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

I don't consider someone who is threatening to "flame" me the next time I post a person who feeds me. Sorry, I don't know where your from, but around here that would be considered threatening my next post.

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

dont sweat it people are kind of annoyed by n00bs sometimes but we all start somewhere man just get some piping or even go to a auto parts store and find some 3 inch truck radiator hose and youll be set and searching the topic chargepepipes will prolly bring up some other ideas

Re:Greddy turbo kit, no intake pipe...help!
 

USE A COLD AIR INTAKE PIPE!

How many more times does it need to be said. I did it, and it worked fine. The cold air intake pipe goes from your TB right to the ------- spot where the up pipe from the greddy kit comes into the engone bay. Use whaterve the ---- you can find to mate the two of them up, its not a big deal.
