used to post on here alot last year when i was spraying but I sorta gave up on my car before winter and now decided to get back to it.
Just picked up some 15" black rota slips and some turbo parts and im going to see what I can run this year...hopefully better then last years 14.3@94
Just got started on the project last night...cut my aem intake apart to get the first charge pipe which fit really nice....now its going to be a pain to get threw the tiny hole behind the head light down to the wheel well......Im hopping to have this all done and tuned on next saturday so stay tuned.
Set up:
T3 60/48
Emanage
Lsd motor sports log mani
Tial 38mm .6bar external gate
2.5" nock off catback
310cc rsx-s
Blitz dd

looking pretty good.
If you use 2.25" piping, you can get it through the hold behind the headlight pretty easily. Just use a coupler right in that spot, and run the pipe up to the hole on both sides. Then simply run the coupler through the hole.
Thats how i did it on my old setup, and it lasted. When i took the kit off 1.5 years later, the coupler wasnt even marked.

I ended up cutting the hole bigger and using a big 45 degree 2.5" coupler to get threw...I wanted to stay with the 2.5" charge pipes.

Rep Power: 261 why are you going with 2.5" piping? Are you planning on a built motor?
or are you doing it just for looks?
I love the look of 2.5" piping. So either way, good job!

I had 2 front mount intakes i found locally for 10 bucks each so it was a hole bunch of cheap mandrel bent pipes....i know its a bit large...Should i be doing something alot smaller? I could do like crush bend pipes but Thats kind of boot leg.
and the funny thing is my first pipe in the pictures is a 2.75"...its so overkill but w/e it fit great.

Rep Power: 261 dude, you did what i did.... sorta..
I went to the pomona auto swap meet (like 2 square miles of car parts!!!) and i bought 7 cold air intakes for $45. I made all my intercooler pipes out of that. All 2.5"
But no, dont worry about it. the 2.5" wont hurt you much. It will take a little longer to spool up, but i doubt you would even notice the difference.

I ended up getting a 10" for like 45 shipped and its a 1450 cfm or something so it will be a little extra cooling when i need it...i can just turn on the ac and the fan will kick on. I mostly did it because I didnt liek how close the turbo was going to be and it was only 45 bucks.

Rep Power: 280 you wire them to the stock wire plugs so they work just like stock. They are smaller and flow more air, I've also replaced my fans with slimlines. Makes a world of difference when installing your turbo when dealing with space issues.
