I got my spearco intercooler and racing-solutions 2.5" piping kit in the mail today and so Im trying to sorta test fit everything and get an idea of how the piping is going to work so I'll know whether or not Im gonna need more piping. The cold side is going to almost bolt right up with vary little fab work. The hot side on the other hand is not going to be quite as easy. If anyone on here has a 99-00 si and has seen how this is done please explain and if possible post pics or send them to meemosby@aol.com. I have 2 radiators up front and unless I remove one I cant figure out how in the world you can route pipes to the turbo. And I know removing a radiator is just going to create more heat and I'll have to put in one big $400 performance radiator to take the place of both, and that sucks. Anybody with some knowledge or or suggestions on this matter please help me out. Also, I live in florida, so losing a/c is not really an option.

 

Need pics man, what kinda mani are you using?

 

You don't have two radiators. The side that doesn't have a radiator cap is part of your air conditioning. If you want to retain the air it is going to be more trouble but it can be done. Before you do any fitting you need to give us some pics so we can see which way you want to turn the turbo, and what kind of mani your using.

 

Sorry guys I think I was a little unclear as to where the problem was. The part where the piping uses like a 180 bend is right where my washer fluid tank sits. Im assuming Im supposed to cut through something there but I really cant figure out where. As far as what mani Im using and how to line it up to the turbo theres no problems there (at least not yet) I just cant figure out how to run it through into the engine bay. This is all very tough to desribe I know but I cant figure out to this day why it says file too large or what to do to fix it but I'll try to email something to aryiman tonight if he gets his butt online and have him post it if he can. Imput in the meantime is very welcome.

 

The piping goes under and around that its a U pipe. Heres a pic from my turbo D series.

 

so your running the piping under the washer fluid tank? It looks like you have taken out all the plastic gaurds and stuff that run under the washer fluid and in front of the front wheel?

 

here is red2000si pics to explain what he means

i hope this helps

I did pretty much what Pete did, just went right under the washer fluid resevoir. As for the black water gaurd or whatever, I just used a dremel and cut a hole through it for the piping
