how do you attach your blowoff valve flange to the charge pipe? the space is too small for me to weld in because im not that good...could i use jb weld?

 

you can't take your charge pipe off and weld it on? I'm not that good a welder and I didn't have any problems. I don't know that I'd use JB weld, but some folks apparently use it because my friend bought an HKS BOV off ebay with JB caked all over it

 

actually i dont fab things very often and when i do its very ghetto. just wondering how you would get it on.

 

i cut a hole in the charge pipe, find a little piece of pipe the same inside diameter as the opening in the flange, make that about 1" long weld it to the flange on a table or whatever, then weld it to the pipe however you want it to sit.

 

k i'll give it a shot.

 

i just welded a flange right onto the pipe..i cut the hole then i used a hammer to make a flat spot on the pipe and ran a fat nasty looking weld .. good times for me..

 

probably an easier way:

get tube to fit flange, and a hole saw the outside diameter of the charge pipe, cut the small pipe with the big hole saw, cut the smal pipe to length. weld to flange, weld to charge pipe, get a hole saw the ID of the small pipe & cut charge pipe.

 

I JB welded my BOV on. When you use it right.. it looks great and is quite strong,

 

do you have a picture of what your having troubles with?

cause my charge pipes were the first real thing i ever made and i didnt have any troubles.

 

the pipes are going to get welded today(by me)...im just having thoughts on how hard it would be to ge the blowoff valve flange on. i'll try jb weld. lolz, if that doesnt work then i'll just have my teacher weld it on for me.

 

Take it to a muffler shop and have them weld it. It will come out cleaner and most importantly it will be sealed.

 

welded it myself with wire feed. tried to arc it but i burned holes thru it so yeah i wire feeded. looks crappy but doesnt leak any water. now for the flange.

 

I took my pipe to a local exhaust shop. $5 later, I had a flange to attach the BOV to welded onto the pipe.

If it was me and you brought me the pipe that had JB weld all over it, I'd charge you about 3 times the money. It sucks like hell trying to get that **** off, and you can't weld over it. If you can have your teacher do it, do it...don't bother with JB weld.

 

about the water comment. i was washing the charge pipe and i was saying water doesnt leak out of any of the welds. the jb weld thingy...i might try jb weld or what would u suggest?

 

'im cheap and just paid somebody to do mine lol
