i was wondering if using 2-3 tubes of JB weld on my upper charge pipe for a TurboXS RFL Flange will work. i plan to let it sit and dry for about 20 hours.

 

2-3tubes?

**** man, 1tube of Steel and 1 tube of hardner will be plenty plenty more than enough

Just get the regular JB WELD and not there new JB Quick and let it cure in a room temp envirnment for 4-5 hours minimum

 

alright cool, is there a way to increase the dry time w/ jb weld?

 

They have the new JL Quick, **** dries hard in under 4min

You could use that, but I dont know anything about its strength

 

jb weld is some good **** for small things

but i dont think that your bov flange falls under the category of small things.

 

i do consider a bov flange is small stuff, read this

JB quick seems to be lacking the strength that the original has, from my experience.

 

Yeah thats what I figured, I just use it to mount/close up **** though

 

this is how big the flange is

its 1.25" diameter

 

Just get it welded.

 

hell, i have jb weld patching a hole in my block, and its the quick ****, it dried solid when it was like 30deg. outside also.

for a little over a month now, it still seems to be holding just fine.

I don't see the problem in this! Go to your local muffler shop with both pieces and just say "hey can you weld this real quick" and I guarantee within 5 minutes you'll be out and might even get it for free since it'll only cost like $5 in labor! I got ALL my IC pipes welded like this an he charged me $35 bucks...just get it welded its better then JB weld that may not hold

I'm sure it will have no problem holding the flange, but then stick a bov on there and you may have issues. As stated just go get it welded, it will cost the same but it won't be ghetto.

 

i ran mine like that 1 year @ 12 psi no problems at ALL
used old school jb not jb qwek or whatever

let it dry held up great.
till i sold my kit

 

jb quick sucks. just my experience.

 

just get it welded man!

any exhaust shop will do it...hell just about any shop with a welder will hook you up cheap.

JB Weld does not work ALL wonders!! It's more like a temporary fix until you can actually weld the part in/on.

 

nothing like doing a job twice because you're lazy
