Boost pipes popping off? constant


Recommended Posts

on my fmic japspeed

goes over the manifold.

the hot pipe that goes over manifold and down, keeps popping off as soon as i hit 1 bar

ive got 2 mikalors on it

and still does it.

ive tightened it up to the max and still pops off.

my mikalors are 225 inch width

57-67 size

what size should it be?

or anything else i could use?

If the pipes dont have lips around the ends then they will blow off all time because the air will force itself round. If they dont have lips use a pair of pliers or mole grips to bend the edge all the way around the pipe to make it a tighter fir for the silicone :lol:

its on a bend

but its straight then a little rolled bit then back to straight at the end.

just seen that the mikalor doesnt tighten up and bends like a oval

going to get a couple new ones and try that!

might just put a bit of resin round the outer lips too!

thanks lads

This happened to be me for ages, the simple solution in addition to your mikalor clamps is of all things "Hairspray"

As dull as it sounds it works, since using it on mine they havent come off once. The hairspray forms a super grippy surface with the metal pipe and it will NEVER blow off

So go get some of your mrs hair spray, spray on your pipe and hose, clamp on leave for a bit and jobs done, its the cheapest easiest way to do it, don't need to mess around bending pipes or using messy glue :lol:
