Intercooler piping blowing off

CVF FMIC

This is the second time this piping has blown off, typically happens at WOT 20PSI. Any tricks to resolving this issue? Perhaps a diff clamp? Someone said use hairspray on the metal side when marrying the boots to the pipes. This is happening to the cold side.

DoJo.

DO MORE PUSHUPS!

Hairspray works on motorcycle grips, not sure if it’s going to provide any tangible benefit under this kind of load though.

Maybe your clamps failed? That’s odd I would think you need to tighten them more or replace them. 20PSI isn’t that much pressure.

What kind of clamps are you using? V-Band?

Hell, I am unsure of the type of clamps, this was a year ago when I put this bad boy in and when it was fixed the first time, a shop did it because I thought the sound it was making was a seized turbo (howling noise).

CVF suggested I use a better clamp - https://www.summitracing.com/newsan...ng-constant-tension-hose-clamps-now-available


DOJO

Your going to want something like this https://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto...UgVpet-78r1su7ywWdreadAJh2OmiOcxoC6zYQAvD_BwE

I would also check the pipe has a lip/bead on it

Cheers for that. Is this what you used for your aftermarket FMIC?

I’m at the shop now, so we will see what can be done

Tighten these suckers

ok, so you still need more push ups, but for this particular activity I’m thinking some more curls and reverse wrist curls are more in line with what you need to focus on. you don’t want us labeling you an honorary prius driver.
