That was, without a doubt in my mind, the most comprehensive test I have ever seen. The variables and controls were kept well within reasonable boundaries, the test was done hundreds of times in any and all situations, and the variable was tested in the most extreme conditions it will ever see.

it was at ten psi which was more then the op is stating he will run

I got it because I needed it, because the conditions I exposed it to, and the expectations I had of it, are far beyond those that PVC could deliver on. You can't see half my charge pipe in this picture. The engine bay temperatures I get are probably higher than any other car here. How often do you think I'd need to replace my charge piping if PVC was used? Bear in mind, that if I ever have to replace it, it's because it failed. And I didn't build my car to fail. I built it to be every bit as reliable as it was from the factory. That means NO piping failures.

ok well you keep comparing the op's project to yours. you have completly different cars in completely different expectaions. he is looking for piping for a low boost cheap setup his engine compartment does not get very hot and he does not need maximum hp. his and yours cant not be compared fairly. what if we did a price check on his and yours it would not be fair you would look like a fool just like your trying to get him to look like a fool on the look/"quality" of his design

I thought my 80 dollar ebay aluminum IC kit was cheap. Seriously, it's that hard to find 80 bucks to do it right? I wouldnt want to have the liability of PVC pipes on a boosted car.

Hey fag bags, You can go fast for cheap and reliable, its called Honda douche bags. There are sub $3000 setups (including car) that make 300+ hp and are dd.

300hp is definitely not fast. That wasn't even fast in the 80s.

Its fast for a car that originally had a 90hp engine and weighs 1800 lbs

No, that's what's called a significant upgrade. You'll know what I mean as soon as your car has 300hp. It isn't fast for long.

Like i said, 500 hp in a 3800 lb car (skyline gtr) is ok and fast, but 300+ in a +-1800 lb car is better. why do you think people mod civics? There is a 10 second ---- box std hatch on d series.org thats a dd and looks cheap as hell.

I didn't even want to look through the whole thing, but you can use marine piping by Silfab its flexible/bendable and can hold past 45+ psi... Only good on cold side though!!! hot side you'll melt that ----...

lmao at the fierro. where to start? well first off that piece of ---- looks like it fell out of ur moms ass, and second off your bragging up 417whp like its ------- bowed upon by jesus, my buddy has a itr delsol lowboost a 434 that would ---- on ur life, needless to say 1.8l 4cly. now lets see ur piece of ---- v6 run LOWBOOST on 17psi at 434whp on pump gas.. Now if we want to compare apples and oranges, look on the web at any build bseries vtec engine with a gt35r, will frown on 417whp.. ---- any D series with minor mods and a good tune can make what ur making, without a 1500$ turbo. So back to the point, take ur alum piping flip it so the 90 degree elbow is pointing up, drop your pants and sit down hard!!! stop hating because u were able to build the ---- you did no matter what you or anyone on here builds, there is always something better and faster. And for the abs charge pipes, i have herd nothing but good things on this, i was going to run simular setup on fjt/vitara build but came accrost some 3" diesel turbo truck piping(its aluminum too maybe we can all gather around and have a orgee about it:). So but more power to a great running dd on a budget build!
