[dangeranger93]

im looking for a universal intercooler pipe kit or a bunch of tube and couplers that i can make work for cheap. let me know what you got

[jfive]

Try cx racing on eBay and if you want join them for cheap try alumiweld from harbor freight or hts2000 rod

[dangeranger93]

yeah im gonna just get a universal kit from ebay if i dont find anything real cheap before then, just trying to see if i can find some deals

subscribed.... i have the same problem

[Ron83ranger]

does anyone do that cut and weld for piping. i do and it works perfectly fine and super cheap, $20 for 8' of 2.5" aluminized exhaust tubing, gas and welding wire. and you can build to fit anything anywhere.

[dangeranger93]

how do you bend it?

[jfive]

I think he is talking about cutting angles and making it bend. Doesn't look as good, but it does work. Lot more welds too. But thats practice if you need it like me.

[dangeranger93]

oh, i dont need the practice all i have is an old ac arc welder so the less welding the better haha cant wait untill i can afford a tig

[jfive]

Yeah A/C arc welders are pretty much useless. I got one for free, and after using a D/C miller at school, I could throw it away. I would pick up a set of alumiweld rods and play around with it. Get some acetone, and a stainless steel brush, and make sure the metal is cleaned just before you do the brazing, but that stuff works pretty good, and you can tell its strong.

[dangeranger93]

i might try that just to see if i can, any link to the rods? i have some aluuminum to weld but i dont have a tig. i welded aluminum with a tig at school and didn't do to bad

Harbor freight. search for alumiweld. 8 sticks for 14.99 HTS2000 is on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Alumiweld-Standard-Kit-Aluminum-Repair-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem56426bce25QQitemZ37048 1548837QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools I think this is the same guy me and oldmandan got our from http://compare.ebay.com/like/280625014443?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&rvr_id=208896884012&crlp=1_263602_309572&UA=WVI7&GUID=ebc803ea12c0a0645e92e0d2ff7670aa&itemid=280625014443&ff4=263602_309572

[dangeranger93]

i actually have brazed aluminum with an acetaline torch before, its not to bad but i really prefer a tig, but who knows if i cant get my hands on a tig i might just have to get a torch goin. and just gonna throw this out there as crappy as an ac welder is i have used it for everything haha

I was reading a review about frozen boosts a2w coolers and someone mentioned they have cheap piping and clamps and stuff, and although the clamps seam cheap the work really well. I also notice this in there ic piping. its a pre intercooler cooler. http://www.frozenboost.com/product_info.php?cPath=220&products_id=225&osCsid=60c5d34a027595c8bd531aaa60f399e0, at least here is another spot to check for ya.

Quality parts at affordable prices, fast shipping. I was more than pleased when I placed my order with them.


I think the most cost effective way for you would be to buy a universal IC piping kit with couplers & clamps from CX Racing, and then order what other parts you need from siliconeintakes.com.

I ordered most of my couplers & clamps from Stinger, and I had well over $100 in my order (about the price of a CX Racing IC piping kit on ebay) of just couplers and clamps alone.

One thing I don't like about CX racing though are their intercoolers. For double the money, you can get a more efficient IC from Treadstone Performance. IMHO, the CX racing IC's means of heat transfer is far from ideal.
