Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Dayum, shiny!! What's the purpose of the rear cover, more fluid, higher fill hole, more bling? Strength? Either way, hotness.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Its for strength. But definitely offers a touch more of the bling factor than a factory cover haha

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
The stud keeps the differential caps from backing out if it ever happens.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
It helps avoid bearing cap deflection on the ring gear. It keeps the ring & pinion mated properly, that's the theory. I broke a rear end last year, I'm hoping this will help.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Did you break it on the launch? What was the 60' or estimated 60'?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I suspect I hurt the rearend launching it, it broke right after shifting into second.
I picked up a couple of vibrant clamshell clamps. I keep bending ic pipe with over torquing t-bolt clamps, causing boost leaks. These should solve that issue.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
How much are those? I bent my AMS IC pipes a bunch as they were aluminum with my tbolts.
I didn't have as many issues, none really, with SS piping. But maybe these are on option.

Maybe Mark is useing paper thin piping for weight savings so he couldn't tighten T-bolts as much as you!

They are cheap for a BAller like you. 
I paid 210 for three 3inch a few years ago.
I have 3 of those clamps on my car and work great. Only advice I'd give is Just make sure to use a little oil on the rubber O-rings so it's easier to put together and they don't dry out and crack or break. That's what I did and no leaks or pop offs in 3 years! |

That's probably 100% true. I forgot all the piping on my car was stainless. |

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Makes me want stainless piping again. Electric impact on IC pipes FTW!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I've always preferred aluminum to save the weight plus dissipate a little extra heat. Use a 1/4" driver and don't go gorilla-mode.

That doesn't always work when you're running Leasure boost though haha

I'm kind of surprised Mark didn't do this earlier since it seems everything he does is an engineering masterpiece it seems.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Although I don't run the same boost levels as these guys, I've never popped one either.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I popped my UICP a few times before I had tbolts, running ~38psi.
But once I had the tbolts it stayed together. I think what Mark is saying is that the tbolts worked fine they are just easy to dent the piping with...which is what I did too. It's easy to over tighten.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I've had the stock woven piping blow off before, but never a silicone coupler.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Probably time for a set of these, or Wiggins clamps to handle Leasure boost without torquing the t-bolts to 100 ft/lbs.

Or just use SS pipes?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I was going to post the same thing Steve. If I ever get to the point where I keep blowing pipes apart at the coupler, I'm just going to make a homemade boost brace setup.
Either way, looking good man.
