IC Piping and Injector ?'s

[AlanZ]

Would a 29x6x2.5 intercooler be good enough for my turbo D? It only has 2 inch piping on the ends, I though 2.5 was like the median range. It's an ATP brand?

Also, if I get newly refreshed and cleaned DSM 450cc injectors, do I need the resistor box for my application?

Thanks!

You need a resister box to run dsm injectors. As far as your ic size that's fine. I wouldn't worry too much about the pipe size, its a turbo d not a 2jz or rb26

 

[Shiznit]

that is a big ass intercooler... how much power are you looking to make, cant be much more than 300whp if youre only using 450cc

EDIT: nvm thats actually a very good sized intercooler. i read the dimensions wrong

 

[AlanZ]

okay. I'm having trouble finding 2" piping. Can I use 2.5 then have the downsize connector/adapter things into the intercooler? I don't really wanna but for the price I can't really beat this ic...

 

[Shiznit]

you can use a couplers that goes from 2.5 to 2

 

[AlanZ]

sweet. 55 bucks shipped. mmmm. :]

next up, injectors. i guess I need the resistor box too, right?

if your car is newer than a 91 then yes.....88-91 civics are OBD0 which already come with a resistor box.....so if your car is 92 or newer then yes you will need a resistor box....

that is a perfect size intercooler to fit in the 99-00 front end without having to remove/modify your bumper support. that's almost the exact size IC that im using, except with 2.5" in/out

i dont think you can use foglights with it though, unless you turn it so the in/out pipes are on top not bottom

 

[AlanZ]

meh. foglights. I would like em, we'll see. maybe i'll flip it around so it's even more stealthy.

hmm. now i gotta find a resistor box...

Go to a junk yard. Where in central pa are you? There is a yard not far from me that has a lot of 1st gen dsm to pull a box from

I live in mechanicsburg.

oh...you can keep your fogs with an intercooler

 

[Billy.]

oh...you can keep your fogs with an intercooler

that's what i was saying. with that particular size intercooler you have to turn it upside down (inlet/outlet on top instead of bottom) so the piping can go above and behind the fog lights. else it wont work

 

[AlanZ]

yea. I want to find a z6 block to build, my valves have been tapping really bad on cold starts lately. I need reliability, so I think I'll just build a block, put everything on my stock engine on a few pounds til she pops then put the z6 in. I'm gonna mock up the intercooler whenever I get it in.

Adjust your valves?

 

[SleepingSol]

Do you already have a turbo? if not I have one that would fit you rather well

 

[AlanZ]

haha yea i have a t25 off a dsm. what do you have layin around?

 

[tienr]

you can get 10 watt 10 ohm resistors from radio shack instead of finding a resistor box.

 

[Shiznit]

^^ Bingo.

last i checked they were 2 bucks a pop. youll need 4 plus some way to sauder them on

 

[AlanZ]

Sweet. I can solder. Just gotta know where to solder em in. Butane soldering iron FTMFW.


Maybe theang can solder em in for me.
