turbo blowing off my fmic pipe?
 

hey guys my turbo is blowing off my intercooler pipe when i press the gas and boost up ,the pressure blows the pipe off the conectors and my fmic is real tight i ckecked all the clamps and i have a 38mm blow off valve do i need a bigger one or what and its at 11.6psi right now so what could be the problem ,thanks mike

thats too much psi IMO for the cam you are running bro... you're still running the 222/224 right??

Clean the joint really well, make sure there is no oil on it, and if it still won't stay together, spray some hair spray on the parts before your slide them together and it will "glue" it and help keep it together.

so it could be that my intercooler pipes have oil or are gressy ill check that out or could it be because of my cam and yes im still running that cam ND I DONT THINK 10PSI IS TOO MUCH OR IT IS ???

well I dont know how different turbos and radix's are, but Eddie (la riddler) is running a radix with a 224/224 112lsa cam and he is barely pushing 4PSI boost cus of safety issues.

The cam has nothing to do with his pipes plowing off of the turbo setup. :)

the pipe does have a flare or something to it right? you're clamping it properly by squeezing the hose down on the far side of said flare to the point you see the rubber bulging on each side? T-bar or worm-drive hose clamps??...

it really help having a flare on the tubing that the hose clamps on. are you using t-bolt clamps or standard hose clamps?

the intercooler pipe im using dose not have a flare on each end like a hump right so it wont slip off that easy i got a diy kit and made all the turns and welded all the alluminum pipes and my hose clamps are just standard hose clamps? could i mess something up once i fit this problem because it sounds real loud when them pipes go off ? all the pressure is going to go threw the blow off valve not to the engine or what? thanks for allthe help guys...

T-clamps ftw.

That cam is fine for the boost you are running -- plenty, in fact. I ran a stock cam with more compression and no FMIC (although meth) and 11psi. It's all in the tuning.
