I used a pvc elbow on my BOV recirculation, it melted after a while. took me a while long time to figure it out, i kept clamping down on all my pipes when my idle started to digress untill one day it was so bent out of shape the coupler popped off and the bend was unrecognizable.


So here I am...not speaking out of my ***.

looks like a start only thing i would do is get ride of that intake manifold you can find a y8 for cheap and it will help that motor A TON!!

I would ditch the rubber home deopt couplers, I tried them on my first setup too, but they melt and expand really quickly, also if you wrap your resistors in electral tape or heat shrink them it gives a much cleaner look or you could wire in a resistor box. Also on the weight reduction I'm not trying to be a dick but are you overweight? if so you can save a few extra pounds on your car by loosing weight and you'll feel better too.

hahah, I love the hate. Again I am running 10psi for a total goal of 180whp. I am using one 2 foot section of pvc. The previous owner used rubber elbows with no evidence of expanding or dis satisfaction. I appreciate all the info but I have seen to many setups with rubber elbows and pvc piping to change mine to complete aluminum. Also my setup is a stock d16y7 i dont want a y8 im, anways I would go z6 im not y8. Also skinnye what was your the motor you used them on, what psi, and what hp. I almost guarantee one of those exceed the rubber elbows capacity to sustain a solid state. ie too much pressure and heat. As sea level has a lot to do with this.
I live very close to sea level on the east coast.

Please check your English and re write the sentence correctly.


Why does this person use rubber elbows if they melt llike crazy? You used a pvc elbow, my guess is it got a hair line crack from expanding and progressed.

Also wrapping reistors in tape can make them explode due to the heat. Never heard of heat wrapping them.

Most of the replys are about changing things that are already done, ie im, elbows, piping, resistors. Im not going to change something thats already done and will work fine for what I want. As confucious sae would say theres more than one way to skin a cat.

This is HMT I love my y7 im, my resistors, my pvc, and my rubber elbows, I will not change it until my own expierence proves me wrong.

Im sure you can do some cool things with Miatas but I have a Honda, PLEASE SHUT UP!

I wont bother posting all the pictures of y7's with that fuckn rubber ebow.

It was words of advice from personal experience. I realize you did it on the cheap just to get it done. However, just because you own a Honda doesn't change the Continuous Service Temperature of PVC.

Birdley42008

Actually I didnt do it on the cheap, I did what I felt was appropriate for my goals. If you want to get into continuous service temperature of pvc, my dad is a chemical engineer with a masters in chemistry, he helped the 1990 nobel prize winner with his nmr, I will ask him to take pieces of the pvc and the rubber and find the actual continuous service temperature. :1 I just dont understand how you one person with your 53 post expierence can change the facts that more than one person has used pvc and rubber elbows on their turbo setups with no problems.

Says the guy with the aquafina bottle on his car.

I don't think people are "hating", I think some are offering actual suggestions.

Hey man, you can do all you want with PVC, and learn from mistakes, but what does the difference in make (mazda/honda) have to do with anything? Your dad would be so proud, as I give you the KNOBel prize for 2007

Braineack

dude, you don't get it. I, myself, have used pcv and home depot rubber in my setup before. My experience was unsuccessful. the end. My post count and the make/model of my car does not factor into the equation. So while you have a valid argument, it does not guarantee the truth of its conclusion, since a valid argument may have false logic/proof. In other words, lighten up nuggah.

Birdley42008

WTF?

Ill admit Brainesack has a valid arguement, but you, your just retarded and just made your first retarded post to prove it.... Aquafina bottle? huh. I have a castrol syntec quart for a catch can. If thats what you meant.
