I just finished running all my upper and lower I/C piping today. I used the pipes the HRC kit came with and bought some manderal bends from JEGs and ran from the side mount location to the FMIC. I had to do some cutting and need to know do I flush the I/C and pipes out to insure there are no metel flakes in either of them?. The install went sweet! If you look at it it looks just like the 4G63 set up only on the right side. Upper I/C pipe goes under the fuse box and wraps around the bottom of the drivers headlight and throuhgthe bumper braket into the top of the I/C. The bottom I/C pipe goes from the bottom of the I/C and u bends under the top one and goes up to the turbo out let. Thanks for the ideas! SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!MWC

Part #289-42321 OD: 2-1/4'' Radius: 3-1/2'' Leg A: 6'' Leg B: 15'' Part #289-42394 OD: 2-1/4'' Radius: 6'' Leg A: 12'' Leg B: 12'' I ordered two of each of these items and only used one of each for the set up cause I had the upper and lower I/C piping the stage 2 HRC came with. I have pics of the install if you can tell me how to post then I will. SEE YA!!!!!!!!!MWC P.S road race eng has all the silicone couplings you need as well.

Try taking some shop rags and dipping them in any type of NON-FLAMMABLE solvent, then wad them up so that you have to kinda force them through the IC pipes. I've heard of people using gasoline to clean their intercoolers but I don't know about that one. After doing that a few times, rinse them with water to remove any residue and that should take care of it.

yeah, Gas will work, any type of solvent. i used rubbign alcohol and it worked pretty good. It also dries up quick Wyatt Leras http://www.turbogs.dsmpower.com 98 Eclipse GS Star Stage 5,000 Turbo kit

Many turbo upgraders use the Starion cause it flows well and is good for up to the neiborhood of 400 hp. The cost of one is fairly cheap, I paid $50, plus an additional $60 to have it modded for our application. SEE YA!!!!!!!!MWC
