Does anyone know were I can get a intake pipe for my turbo?

This has been covered, though I don't think it's ever gotten a proper answer. Seems to me that one of these installer/pipe benders would make a pretty penny from a nice, well-made intake pipe. The answer seems to be that unless you have an F-Max kit, though, there's nothing to be had aside from the standard Bluebird intake tract. Pity.

Not true, if you're talking about the pipe from the MAF to turbo inlet, that is.

Any low-buck (read: eBay or APC) intake pipe for a '90-93 Honduh Accord 4-cylinder WILL work on our cars. A little fabrication is needed to attach the 1" pipe nipple for the recirc line, though. $10 to any welder should get that done in under 5 minutes. Depending on which brand of pipe kit you get, you *might* need to buy a silicone reducer hose as well.

John Minnic (ProjectSE-R) has one on his car, btw. Looks good.

An alternative is to get some mandrel bends from JCWhitney and fab up your own pipe. Shouldn't cost any more than $30, IMHO.

Son of a gun. I knew something like this should work, but had never seen such a clear answer. Thank you. :D So one of these should work, eh?http://www.procarparts.com/productimages/AI-acd9093.jpg (http://www.procarparts.com/store/displaydetails.cfm?pid=AI-acd9093)

Yes, but don't forget that you will have to fabricate your own pipe for the recirc return. Which means cutting a hole in that pipe, welding in a 1" pipe barb, and being done with it.

Good luck. I've thought about ditching my BB pipe since I saw John's with that Accord pipe on it. I may do that over the summer...

Well, the pipe I linked above (y'all noticed that's a link, right?) is less than $40, so I don't see how one could go wrong. Punching a hole and welding a CBV return line should be nothing, so I can't see any problems. Take pictures next time. ;)
