ebay intercooler and piping

[bpoweredhatch]

ok i just ordered this kit for my car should be here by thursday.but i was wondering if it would hold up and how would i use the sq bov.if its pointless to use i have two greddy bovs here is the link...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Civic-92-00-D15-D16-Bolt-on-Turbo-Piping-Intercooler-SQ_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q 7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec 0Q2em14QQhashZitem350129455067QQitemZ350129455067Q QptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

that's a good price on just an fmic, but also getting the silicone couplers, t-bolts, and piping is a deal.

any of the bov you listed will be fine.

[bpoweredhatch]

ok thanks.how would i mount the sq on the piping it has know place for it

[Mad Mike]

You could have the mount welded onto the piping or buy one of these. This is what I did.

thanks mad mike.if i would of seen that i would of odered one but im better off going with my greedy rs or type s.i like the sound of the hks aq but i dont know if the ebay one would sound the same.got any info if it does or not?

[Mad Mike]

I'm running the Greddy type RS on my CRX and the sounds is allright. I like the type S sound more but the knock off that came with the intercooler is crap and won't open at all. So I ordered a real Greddy type rs. The adapter pipe came with my intercooler kit.

[bpoweredhatch]

i have two adapters on my greddy bovs.i like the rs sound but you cant hear it far off.so if i could use one of my adapters for the sq when it comes in ill try it

[j0nbunklah0m]

lmk how that fits onto ur civic., i may order one too

[bpoweredhatch]

^^will do bro should be in tomorrow or the next day

The one that comes with that kit probably wont work or if it does not for long. Who cares about how it sounds as long as it works. Go with the Tial bov, hks bov, or the greddy rs bov.

dude the kit comes with the flange its right next to the blow off valve? Just take it to mainstream and they'll weld it on where ever the hell you like. That BOV will hold up and last just fine, its really hard to fuck up the design of a BOV, whether its a $59.99 version or a $205 version.

RIGHT in front of the blow off valve!

[-S Double C-]

^^^LOL!

[bpoweredhatch]

ok thanks

[bpoweredhatch]

i know this is gonna sound dumb but wouldnt they have to cut a hole in the piping?

[-S Double C-]

^^^YEPP they drill a hole in the pipe then weld the BOV over it

[SPOOLIN]

they just use a hole saw, the whole process would probably take no more than 20 minutes.

[SPOOLIN]

ill give you 25$ for that BOV if its just going to sit by the way. lol

[bpoweredhatch]

lol im gonna try to use it i love the hks sq sound im hoping this one sounds like that.i really didnt need the new set i just wanted my intercooler to be bigger

[bpoweredhatch]

here is my old setup

[SiRed94]

^^ LOL Did you beat that intercooler with a hammer?

[blurasta]

My only problem with ebay piping is the clamps. They do not hold for me. I drove to gas station today from my house and I blew the cold side off twice. Just make sure you get good clamps.

[bpoweredhatch]

they come with t bolt clamps.i hope they hold if not ill use my old ones.also i didnt hit it lol it just look like it on the top

[SPOOLIN]

t bolt clamps will hold. If its all bead rolled you can actually use 2 worm clamps and they would hold up to 40 psi.

[bpoweredhatch]

lmk how that fits onto ur civic., i may order one toohey bro i just got off the phone with ups its gonna be until dec 3rd before my stuff comes in :( . i was plan on gettin my car tuned next week lol.but hopefully i have everything on the same day it comes in and i will lmk you know then:goodjob:

[bpoweredhatch]

[Skidtron_97]

Tahnks repped

[bpoweredhatch]

thanks for some reason i cant see any reps that ppl have left me.

[bpoweredhatch]

everything will be here today waitin on them to drop it off

[1NonlyAccord]

I got a 2psi drop with the new bigger ebay intercooler i bought a few weeks ago. only bad thing. but looks better

[bpoweredhatch]

pics..i like the size of the intercooler and piping is just right.

[bpoweredhatch]

kool man, u've been repped :)hey bro you should order a set the intercooler is worth that price.but everything looks great the intercooler says jdm sport on the top so does anyone know if thats a ebay intercooler?

[bpoweredhatch]

should be done tomorrow or friday

[j0nbunklah0m]

nice, looks like it fits pretty good, did u have to cut anything?!

[bpoweredhatch]

didnt have to do anything except trim the grill down a little

[bpoweredhatch]

finally finished if i dont run into any problems

[scttydb411]

get rid of that filter...it's too restrictive. get a larger filter.

[bpoweredhatch]

hey what do you mean buy larger?i got a brand new one that was on my intake

[hondalover00]

i like the dryer the oldsetup was on

[scttydb411]

one that's twice as tall. i've had cars come in with that half height filter you have on it and it is restrictive. i take it off and there is a big difference. it looks like you have quite a bit more space between the turbo and frame so get a larger surface area filter. the more surface area the more the turbo can breathe through it.

[bpoweredhatch]

hey scott is this filter better?

[bpoweredhatch]

i like the dryer the oldsetup was onlol its a old washer bro but it still gets the job done.but the dyer is new:goodjob:

[j0nbunklah0m]

so u put on everything urself? i kno u want to help me -_-

[bpoweredhatch]

yeah this is my 5th kit i ve done its pretty easy after the first time

[j0nbunklah0m]

so how do u get it tuned? u put everything on and get it towed to a shop?

[bpoweredhatch]

i have another tuned ecu running a different turbo setup until i get it tuned. but thinking about taking it all off and doing a gsr or ls vtec

[j0nbunklah0m]

ahh i c, well good luck!

[scttydb411]

so how do u get it tuned? u put everything on and get it towed to a shop?

if you have a basemap and drive it easy then, most cases, you can drive it to the shop for tuning.

towing it is another option as well.

[bpoweredhatch]

well i blew a head gasket before i could even get my exhaust fixed. i undone my intercooler piping so i wouldnt get into boost. so when i was on my way abbout a min from my house i noticed water in the oil. it still runs but i came across a great deal for my whole car without my turbo setup.its a fully built gsr engine trans and etc for my car what you guys think about that trade?
