I am going to run a 14B on a D16Z6. 30x6x3 FMIC is also going to be used. Does anyone have a similar setup that might have the IP measurements from there install?

 

Nice looking Civic. I like the all black look But as far as fabing up some IC pipes... can you weld? It's not really that hard to just get a few bends and straight pieces etc. and just go by eye. Thats basically what we all do, we start from scratch and just build as we go. It's honestly going to be easier than trying to go by measurements If you don't have a welder, maybe a shop can do it up for you, but I'd check out a Midas or Meinikee and see if they have any scrap exhaust pipes and bending mistakes laying around you can buy for cheap. thats what I did and all my pipes came out great.

 

you don't realy need to weld them. you can use couplers, but you'll end up using more couplers like that then if you welded them. just imagine where the i.c. would go and the turbo and eyeball how many bends you'll need.

 

These guys conquered your question pretty good...

I just wanted to say that you had a badass ride

 

of course, but we need side pics.

 

u don't really want to many couplers... what if one day u pop an ic pipe and u can't figure out which one it is and ur sitting there for a while trying to figure it out... its easier if u only have like 3-5 couplers and the rest welds. thats jus my opinion.

 

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to weld all my piping together and use 5 couplings. Intake, Cold side of IC, Hot side of IC, From the turbo, and finally the intake. I will try to find some side shots of my civic, but it may not be until I finish my turbo job. I think you guys on here have posted the most postive posts I have seen for my car. I appreciate that very much.
One more question, where is a good place to mount my BOV?

 

I try to weld most all of my IC piping, I hate using couplers and having them blow off. Using 5 couplers is about right 1 off the turbo, 2 on the intercooler, 1 on the RH side going to the engine bay, and one on the throttle body.

Most people place BOV's on the upper Ic pipe near the throttle body and about far down as where the distributor sits.

 

Thanks, got my cold side of IC piping done tonight. IT looks awesome. Now I just have to get modivated to do the rest of it. Maybe next weekend I will finish, but not sure yet.
