92638, Star intercooler piping????
Posted by Emsand1, Jan-09-06 01:23 PM
I bought a used kit and it looks to me like I'm missing one of the intercooler pipes.

How many pipes should I have gotten? I actually got 4 (2 x 2" & 2 x 2 1/4").

Just so I got this straight...from the intake to the right side of the IC and from the turbo to the left side of the IC.

Based on this scenario, it looks like I'm short one.

There is only 4. The smaller 2 pipes go to passenger side of car from the turbo (2") and 2 others (2 1/4 or 2 1/2") go from the throttle body to the right side

You should also have a 90 degree coupling for the turbo outlet. If you are missing it there is no way to connect the pipe to the turbo

4 sounds right.

The piping runs on the driver's side, fyi.

Sorry to jack the thread, but could you send a pic of your piping? We need to get piping for our Star stage 1 with Starion intercooler and would like to see a similar comparison. I've been considering this, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-5-Intercooler-Piping-Pipe-Hond-Civic-Accord-Prelude_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQitemZ8026857789QQrdZ1, but can't tell if it's the right bends.

Thanks.
