Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Just as the thread states. We are judging interest for 100% carbon fiber upper intercooler pipe and turbo inlet pipe, with HKS style BOV flange. They would be just as I said, 100% carbon fiber. No metal to conduct and hold heat. These will be extremely durable, incredible finish, and work better then common stainless steel or aluminum intercooler piping in todays kits. Depending on the interest, the price will range from $320/5 Kits, to $220/20+ Kits. Serious interest only, please.

Below is a photo of a similar design made by a group of enthusiasts. Our kit will be of better quality and be pre-fabbed with the HKS style flange.

it only takes two weeks for HT ---- to make it here
*edit* doesnt this belong in the "For Sale Forum"?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Is that microwave for sale? I really need a new microwave. I figure since these carbon fiber thingies are priced so great that you'll let the microwave go cheap. :P

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

im to cheap, but do you have any other cf stuff

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

i still love the cf toilet seat

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

i think its some pimp ---- i'd buy a kit right now.....but yeah this does belong in the classifieds...pm me

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

I really like the pipe, but the price is just to much, hell most HMT kits only cost a couple hundred bucks!

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

yeah and the performance difference is?? Very slim. Id take the 2-300 and put it into somthing thatd really make a difference... CF is cool tho

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Ill send you a micro for free...but youll have to clean out what was once a cat :-X

:P

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

one word RICE no matter how you look at it, it is RICE, any item that serves no purpose belongs in the RICE catagory and this belongs there

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Then Bigmike old buddy,you my friend are rice!




;)

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

------- awesome, thanks for catagorizing me i always thought i was a worthless ------

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

it will actually help in the ehat build up of the car. just think about how much steel heats up in the car with or without a FMIC. There not rice, there just too expensive for a normal person to buy so you "think" its rice.. besides i bet you think the CF brakes that are used in F1 racing is rice too ::)

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

can u make me sum cf spinning hub caps like the have the chrome ones

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

now that would be rice. unless the ENTIRE wheel was CF and had no spinning ---- on it then it would be light as hell.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

now i wanna see some cf rims, wonder if its even possible

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

porsche was doing that in the mid 80's

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

here is a CF racing motorcycle rim.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

all i can say is WOW how do you do carbon fiber like that i know that usually done like you do fiberglass. but is this done in some kind of mold or the same way?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

that wheel is hot!

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

very nice, but expensive.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Yeah its all a mold. You see how the weave is going with the spoke. Thats for strength and has to be perfectly straight or it cold or will break. What supports the weight is the actual carbon fiber but without the resin the carbon fiber would be worthless and vice versa The carbon fiber supports the most weight. I learned that in airplane school.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

when i went to hot import nigths in orlando theres a new company promoting carbon fiber wheels there expensive as ----. 17'-1400 18'-1700 without tires

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

spend tree fitty on some ceramic paint and coat the metal pipes.

btw, I've got like 12 feet of that flexible exhaust pipe crap, think it will work for the bends if I wrap it in duct tape or something? I mean it holds exhaust pressure fine and it's only 8psi.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

::)

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

I guess that's a no...I'm still doing it.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

yeah, and it will flow ------- fantastically. make sure you P&P your head to handle all that air velocity.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

but in intrest to the thread what is the diamater of the piping? i wouldent want 1 inch pipes now.. and are they going to be made for the car with a certin IC or what?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

onyx make sure u rock a CF valvecover too. ever seen that car that almost evercomponent possible was made in CF?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

This is one of those products you hear about but will never be produced. There's way too many variables to make a universal CF pipe kit for custom turbo kits.


The only way for this to be an actual marketable products would be to make replacements for Drag and Rev hard kits which nobody on this site owns or would at least admit to owning

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

i say you patent that ---- and when large manfacturers want to produce them for their kits they have to pay royalties

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

no i was just bringing up a few points not requesting a kit lol im not ------- rich now am i?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

soooo....is streetracin gonna reply to his thread or, is he just gonna say ---- it and relize that he came to the wrong place to sell his CF piping? I think it would be pretty decent, just cost to dam much.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

i think he got scared off like we do to most the new people. if a person can get through all the verbal beatings then they made it through HMT initiations and can proceed to converse.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

At what point did I say this kit was going to be universal? I will be having the kits made in either 2 or 2.5 inch diameter piping, and it will be modeled to fit Civic/Del Sol systems. The upside is the system will also be able to be used as cold air intake piping for N/A applications as well. As long as 4 others are interested in getting in, the kit gets made. The only thing im deciding on right now is how I want to make the BOV flange. Im leaning towards a simple flange like Greddy/TurboXS and just making a plate to block it off for CAI applications, and a plate that can have other flanges welded on an still be able to bolt it on the piping itself. It will be basic layout, not designed for any particular system that exists currently, but rather to run from the throttle body to the chasis hole, and from the turbo inlet to the filter. Simple design to keep the cost down.

Reasons for c/f... well pretty much bling factor and heat savings. Carbon fiber tubing is stronger then aluminum or stainless, it does not conduct heat nearly as much as the above mentioned metals, and you got to admit, would look really nice under the hood at car shows. The cooler air inside the piping is less dense, allowing it to travel faster through the piping compared to more dense air caused by traveling through stainless. True for quick jaunts to the grocery store, there is no savings for carbon fiber over stainless, but for continuous pulls on the street and track, the piping will remain cooler then current piping. C/F is extremely durable, and done properly its stronger then metal piping with 1/3rd-1/4th the weight (not that its a huge issue with that much weight to begin with).

So if interested great let me know, if not ok be on your way.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Why would you advertise this product that is only good for out of the box turbo kits on a website based on building custom kits? This site consists of 99.99% custom turbo kits and I assumed you knew this before you posted so the logical conclusion would be that this was going to be universal.



This sounds like a description of a universal product.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

i thought air became more dense the cooler it got? Ithought that dense air made more power than less dense air... and I thought that it was the urbos JOB to propel this air at high speeds? am I wrong?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

streetracin101--if you cant tell, no one on this site can really afford nor would they want your product.(mods, this is constructive criticism) yeah carbon fiber is great and you make great points about your product. it doesnt conduct heat, its strong, blah blah blah... it would be very nice if anyone could afford it. if someone had $3-400 to spend im sure they wouldn't spend it on carbon fiber charge pipes. You will probably get the 4 or 5 customers you are asking for, and maybe that is your goal, but why dont you come up with something cheap and useable. this subject has come up many times before, people like you come on the site and have this great product to sell but forget this is homemadeturbo.com we obviously make our own ---- and use whatever works.

bottom line, make something cheap and useable. the idea of a steering column gauge pod has come up many of times. come up with a climate control delete, and insert a peice of carbon fiber for a boost gauge or whatever. on my way home i was thinkin about this, in a 92-95 civic there is the center 2 vents next to the clock, cut those out and make a gauge pod. --come up with something cheap and useable.

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

Will the microwave for sale be containing any carbon fiber parts?

Re:Carbon Fiber Intercooler Piping
 

cheap carbon fiber body panels would be better recieved here. Otherwise we'll get by wuth the carbon fiber plastic tape mod. ;)
