charge pipe hell
 

My charge pipe of the turbo keeps poping off, iv tryed a couple of differnt kinds of couplers and then tryed super glue but it still poped apart. do any of you guys have a good trick because there is noting gayer than loosing a race cuz the cp poped apart.

Nice C&H avatar.

Have you tried putting a little bead at the end of the pipes, and using t-bolt clamps?

Re: charge pipe hell
 

T bolt clamps are the best.

Re: charge pipe hell
 

I havent tryed a t-bolt i gonna go out and buy one now. i think they sell them in the ricer section of autozone.

Re: charge pipe hell
 

tbolt+bead or beads of welds
and HAIRSPray

it sticks on the couplers good
beware that it does make taking it off a tad bit more hard

Re: charge pipe hell
 

Sweet full boost and no problems thanks. ;D

Re: charge pipe hell
 

that happened to me when i was racing once. :y

Re: charge pipe hell
 

T-bolts are the only way to go.

Hirspray and adding the beads are just ways to make the Home Depot couplers work a little better.

Just t-bolt with silicone coupler and you are golden for most applications.

Re: charge pipe hell
 

yeah i upgraded to T bolts, no more losing to a stock crx ne more LOL :y

Re: charge pipe hell
 

the piece that comes off the turbo has about an inch to grip + it is smoth and alway gave me trouble. T-bolt all the way.

Re: charge pipe hell
 

I have also used paint to help stick the couplers to the pipes, the key is to do it when its still wet :)

beads and t-bolts are a must when going over 20+ psi.

Re: charge pipe hell
 

I had an insane trouble getting my aluminum pipes to hold 15psi

First I tried to regular clamps on every connection, still didnt work, then I tried hairspray, didnt work, so I took all my piping off and took a pair of vice grips and kind of flared out the ends of every pipe

Hasnt popped since

but I did manage to pop a hole in the side of a 90* coupler, just ------- blew right threw it
