Nisei Upper Intercooler Pipe: Help!

I ordered my Nisei upper intercooler pipe from Kevi at Nisei, came in the mail today but having problems...please help


I've read the posts on the Nisei here on EvoM and looked at the other members pics...somehow my silicone hose looks different and is not fitting. Shouldnt it be a large side reduced to a smaller side ( from the ?manifold? to the top part of the upper intercooler pipe?) I tried for two and a half hours with force and no luck...




the hose that came with it it the same size on both ends...

Its the right coupler, just a tight fit. You gotta muscle it on there.

Please look at this pics then make a conclusion on wether you are missing a couple(silicone hose) or you have the pipes installed the wrong way.

http://www.nisei-evo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22 so u do have the right silicone

take the silicone off and put it on the throttle body first, then hook the intercooler piping to it,, if your still have trouble spray hairspray on it, it makes it slippery but then makes it hold on actually better once it dries!

Yeah, They could have made that coupling a little big to the throttle body, it was hell trying to wrestle that coupling on there. Maybe Nisei can take this into consideration when making future kits. All that aside the best fitting kit I have put on a car.
