TrisK Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 has anyone done this with a mushroom.i was going to take out air con, fit a civic rad.Then get an elbow reducer, a straight ally pipe, then a straight reducer to the size of the airfilter.This should put the 'top' of the mushroom facing forward right?has anybody done the relocation with a mushroom? any pics?will my piping plan work?also, does anyone know the size of the intake on a trust mushroom? if not i will measure mine at the weekend.Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My mate has got one to fit, you will need a 90 degree silicone pipe off the turbo, 90 degree stainless elbow and a 45 degree silicone.With the filter being so huge it cant sit sideways, so you need the 45 degree bit to turn the filter so it is pointing out the front.Or even better, just get one 90 degree off the turbo, then a straight stainless pipe with a silicone adaptor for the filter, less bends then ;)Hope that makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrisK Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 ok, my trust filter is 57mm, so i need38 to 51mm 90 degree elbow - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/51mm-38mm-90-Elbow-R...=item20a951e6e251mm alloy pipe - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/51mm-OD-x-300mm-Alum...=item20adb1362f51 to 57mm straight reducer - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/57mm-51mm-Straight-R...=item1e548239f4My only question is, item 2, the alloy pipe. ive gone for the 300mm long one (about 12 inches) will that be long enough/too long?and that comes to £32.27, not bad, cheaper than the prebuilt kits by a fair bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 ok, after talking to somebody on here, they say the space is tight, and all you need is the 90 degree reducerso i need 38mm for off the ct9 right, then my trust filter is 57mmbut nobody seems to make a 38 to 57mm reducer elbow. can anybody tell me where i can get made up?
