PVC is white, CPVC is off white, ABS is black. Just so you know. :-*

Re:pvc pipe?
PVC charge pipes have been proven to work on many setups. Just don't use PVC right off the compressor housing.

Re:pvc pipe?
I used APC the thick black piping. Went from the compressor to the intake, I even used crappy rubber couplers. It worked, not really well though, because when the compressor got hot the rubber couplers would give. I ended bringing my setup to a guy to do proper piping, you should of seen his face when he saw my setup. Serously, APC with good silicone couplers will work very well.

Re:pvc pipe?
do any of you guys know the rating that should be used the ones i have are sch40 i think they make a sch80 but im not sure
|
Re:pvc pipe?
are you sure pvc isn't rated at 73 celcius? because it's hotter than 73 degrees most of the year over here pvc doesn't melt when I carry it out of the store into the hot sun. 73*C=164*F 164 should be alright.

Re:pvc pipe?
kyle thats what i was thinking but it says sch 40 pvc 370psi @73*F its the white pipe im not sure what the black is rated at tho
|
Re:pvc pipe?
Thats what temp its rated at. Not it's melting point. Pvc is used only for drains. Hot water comes in through copper pipes. And I would guess that it is rated at 300psi because it carries alot of weight. Just to let you know we used a pvc bend right off of the compressor and it just gets real soft and gets smashed by the hose clamp then it pops off every 2 miles. then it eventually get so small that it won't go back on.

Re:pvc pipe?
I have ran black ABS pipe for 6 months on my car.
I did not use it in the engine bay. Just in the bumper for the intercooler. I got some aluminum sections from the junkyard for that. I had one peice under the hood(right off the compessor) and only about 6". It deformed, but didn't even come close to melting. It isn't the greatest ---- to run, but I was in a bind. |
