Cheapest way to make IC piping?
 

Which would you guys do, not looking to spend more than $40 total. Yeah im cheappppp

Flexible exhaust piping, black pvc piping oorrr a bunch of radiator hoses??

flex pipe works but out of what you listed rad hoses work the best. go to the jy on 1/2 off day and look for factory volvo turbo cars they have good hoses to work with

i thought about that. but man junkyards around here are retards. wanting like $80+ for turbos, $125 for a damn civic hood. eh ever seen pics of flexpiping??

yeah and it does work i used a short peice when i didnt have a 90 one time but pvc will blow apart when it gets hot. i have put 20+ psi through a bunch of factory dsm hoses and rad hoses. i make all my good couplers out of truck radiator hose its tough stuff been tested time and time again at 25+ psi and over 500hp

goto autozone and get a flexible universal rad hose

EBAY?

i bought 10ft of pvc piping for $3.44 lol

i've already cut it up and mocked it up, gonna use 2" radiator hoses to connect them. woot, grand total of $8 spent for ic piping and "couplers" ;D
gonnna use radiator flex hose for the turbo to lower ic piping, dont wanna risk pissing off the pvc with heat

im seriously cheap..

My favorite way is exhaust pipe and pie cuts. ---- you can get a HF wire feed and the pipe for a lil more then one of those kits. Then you can do your exhaust aswell.

i was gonna do that but that ---- is like $7 for 1 1/2 ft at autozone.

no you gota hit up a small buisness type exhaust shop. you can even get them to put some rough bends in it cheap, and you get like a 10 foot section.

got some 1 1/2 90" degree bends, connected/mocked it up. then wrapped the ---- outta it with ducktape lol, hopefully this holds 8psi. ill post pics tommorow

i have done that but FC welds unless you grind weld grind weld grind weld well you get the idea you can never get all the holes out of them. btw grind a grove in the pvc when you put it together so the clamps can grab something

i rough weld em together then jb the ---- out of them. just like my exhaust hah. works awesome.

MAKE SURE you get jb WELD not jb KIWK. theres a big difference.

wow now thats HMT

ducktape? lol, thats ownage


jy wont charge that much much for misc piping, i got all of my cold side piping for 30bucks.. just when they ask where its from say its off a sunfire lol

i ialways say saturn its an even bigger POS

haha it should hold dont u think. the fit was already snug as hell plus ducktape out the ass on the connections. we'll see in a few weeks. stupid ebay seller cant ship my bov/compressor flanges out til monday cause he's "on vacation" ------- idiot

they are supposed to warn you on the auction that they are goin on vacation, if not you can get out of payin for it and order it elsewhere.

hmm or when they ---- up and you order a 2.75" kit and they send you a 2.5" kit. thats how i got my one 2.5" kit for free

heh they fucked up my turbo order once, sent me a .60/.63 instead of a .50/.63

and get this, when i told them the continually denied even selling a .60 turbo and didnt believe me, i even sent them a pic of the .60 stamped on the compressor. cant complain to much as it was better heh.

i was tryin to get em to send me a whole new one without "having to take my car off the road for there mistake." and send it back. but it didnt work heh

I read a thread where a guy used either ABS or PVC and it started to deform due to heat.

home deopo. cheap

yes the plastic will deform due to the heat but you can cure that by putting 2 screws in your couplers after the clamps. cant blow off a coupler that is screwd to the pipe

brilliant lmao. here i am with pliers trying to feather the pipes out or grinders trying to make a groove, to welder welding a bead. and i coulda just put a screw in it? doh

its super ghetto but its the only way we could get the charge pipe on my buddies DSM to stay together above 30psi of boost

my ---- was blowing left and right at 12 pounds heh. id get one good pull in second and at like 6k POP. i think it was a mix of home depot couplers, cut up aluminum pipe and the movement from the engine (was always the hot side).

Took a grinder the ground like a reverese bead into it and it worked decent.

but now we know screw that ---- together

did you coat the screw in rtv or anything?

no the amount of boost leak it will have is very very minimal.
