Intercooler piping blowing off

[nikhsub1]

Its a hose on a pipe. How could this possibly be complex?

I don't see how that style of clamp is better than a regular clamp. Looks like a bunch of entangled wire, I just dont see the strength in that.

Maybe I need to also consider an oil catch can, possible that all that oil is making it slippery as ****.

My stock clamps have been fine with my CFV intercooler. Just tighten the shit out of em.

They do work differently then a standard flat hose clamps. Because of the two independent wires (that are not at all complicated to do) you are able to get a much tight pinch point on the hose with the two wires digging in deeper then a hose clamp can do. It is just like when you safety wire anything on a race car,airplane engine the wires are twisted

Are you able to double clamp it? If is a continuing issue I would consider using a chemical bond before you put the hose on, but it will never come off without cutting it off
This was a favorite of a dealer I knew for leaky hoses that were cracked and splitting at the ends.
The company Permatex makes every kind of bonding, dealer,gasket and more

Thanks for explaining

Don.

Anytime, Maybe spray the IC and the wipe the inside of the hose with carb or brake cleaner to make sure it`s not an oil issue

 

[Donovan]

Exactly. I will give this a hoon.

This is the second time this piping has blown off, typically happens at WOT 20PSI. Any tricks to resolving this issue? Perhaps a diff clamp? Someone said use hairspray on the metal side when marrying the boots to the pipes. This is happening to the cold side.

DoJo.

This exact thing happened to me after installed the AFE IC. What I did was install a C clamp over the top of the provided clamp and it's been golden for the last 15k miles.
