I would JB weld it.If your ebay cold air is like the ones i have seen I dont think your gonna get much of aweld on it.

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

i got a 2 peice one and welded them together and then welded the bov flange on. They welded together fine but i just tacked the bov flange on since it caught on fire both times i welded it (yes, it caught fire, it was reddish purple, and yes it was an Ebay bov) i used a Mig welder with an aluminum gun from school

anyways it ended up being jb welded

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

My older brother tig welds for a living and I had him weld mine for me, came out great, but just to be safe I put some jb on it jus incase if he had a small hole cause he said it was bitch to weld

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

if it's the kinda ebay CAI I'm thinking of it's probably not even aluminum, it may be plastic....?

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

I have an eBay CAI sitting around and I was thinking of doing the same thing if I end up not having enough money for some good charge piping. Can I JUST jbweld it or does it actually need to be welded up the right way?

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

JB weld will work if you do a good job applying it.

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

alright is there any other options for charge piping besides the PVC trick? Is there any sort of tubing that is flexible that would work? Kinda like radiator hose but only bigger and more flexible?

Sorry to thread jack by the way...just thought this was a good time to ask that...

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

Worst case just get some crsuh bent pipes from your local shitzone parts store as you can usuall find something close.Racing solutions has some killer deals on intercooler building kits right now though at 35 for 4 bends enough to do the charge piping.

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

well I have that CAI I can use up top. I was just looking for something to bend from the CAI, to the IC and from the IC to the turbo.

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

You could try some of that flexable pipe used for exhaust repair it should work if your rocking the Mr Noodles budget for this.I used some briefly on a old setup and it seemed to hold fine for low boost like 6 psi.

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

JB weld is the right way negro. O0


On the other posts you made:
Just get some pipes and couplers. They really are not that expensive. Buy some bends from discreteautoparts.com (sp?), they are dirt cheap. It will cost you almost as much in PVC.

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

i also got a ebay cai that i bought and welded the aluminim hks flange on it...works great plus it's cheap to..

Re: welding bov to ebay cai
 

Ok Im looking at buying a new cheap ass 1 pc CAI off eBay and using it for the top part of the charge piping now. I just want to verify that JB Weld will hold the flange for the BOV on w/ any trouble? And what are you guys using after the CAI to route it to the IC and then from the IC to the turbo? I was thinking about something like what stock GST's have. Any idea's? Oh and is a 3" CAI to big for that part of the charge piping? It's the only one pc CAI intake I can find for my car. lol If any of you have pics of your CAI being used as charge piping...please post them up. I don't want to buy the CAI until I know for sure that it will work great. Thanks
