I'm planning on boosting the lude but i have a quick question. I've notice that my si has a power steering cooler sitting right in front of the radiator and its blocking the path of where i've seen other ludes intercoolers sitting. I could run no intercooler but i lived in florida so i don't think thats a good idea. So how did ya'll route your intercooler piping.

Hey I noticed the same thing. I am not boosted yet, but had mine all taken apart a few weeks ago to discover I need to move my alternator and bunch of other stuff. But what I did for the PS cooling was just taken the center bracket off and move the cooling lines to the inside of that center support. Then just mount your intercooler there.

Where do you plan on running your piping on the drivers side?

Many of the good pictures on this forum have died over time, but if you search on Honda-Tech, you can probably see some pictures of 4th gens with FMICs. I would take a look at those photos and that should help you figure out how to route your IC setups.

theres many ways to route it. if u run the hot side of the pipes from the windshid water fluid box, you will have to relocate the box. i route both pipes to one side were the cold side would but so i could keep A/C. anymore qestion feel free to ask me or preludestud11.

If you run through the windshield resivoir you'll have to cut through the frame/support that it's mounted to. There is no hole there
