OK, I am going to do some custom intercooling piping to go with my johnny race car front mount. Now my question is the pipe from JC Whitney that I am looking at is Aluminized, now will there be any problems welding on this kind of pipe?

 

bump

 

I have been wondering the same thing!

Also, I can't find the piping on the JC whitney site! What links do I go through?

P.S. I am going to be boosting my d16z6 in a few months also! What set up are you planning on running? I am planning on the greddy kit w/ johnnyracecar.com 6 inch intercooler etc... just wondering

 

there's no problem welding aluminized turbing/pipes...Just look for "mandrel bends" on their search.

 

Cool I am glad to know it will work out alright.

As for my set-up I will be running the greddy kit with a johnny race car 5 inch intercooler. I am looking forward to getting everything all set-up on my car. And here is the link to the piping http://www.jcwhitney.com/webap...10101

 

Thanks for the link!!

 

Let me know what pipes you end up buying form JC Whitney and how they fit!

I won't be buying pipes till about mid summer, I won't have the money till then!

 

don't know if u would be interested or not, but im selling charge pipes for any 92-95 civic. i made them for my d15b turbo but should fit any engine. might not fit GSR swap tho because the TB is lower. includes all the rubber connections i have and DSM BOV already mounted. let me know if u would be interested. might save u some money and time because mine are already assembled and ready to ship.

 

I've got the JC whitney piping and it was difficult to weld. I was using a MIG welder, and had to pulse the trigger to get a good bead, otherwise it'd just burn a big hole in the pipe since its only like 1/8" thick.

 

just turn the heat down. we would weld with a mig and then go back over with a tig to smooth out the beeds and get a better bond. only thing we had problems with, sometimes the metal would get to hot and sink in a little into the pipe. u just had to watch how hot it got. u can always just use ribber connectors from lowes or home depot, but i would weld if u are going to run more than 10psi.

 

no problems for me so far

 

anyone custom make this piping for their GSR's? im T'ing mine and dont wanna spend all that money on a prefab...
