I just bought an 06 evo a month ago and put on the hks racing intake two weeks ago. Now this problem has happened twice where my intercooler piping is popping off parts of my engine. I tightened all of the clamps when i put the intake on and now they keep getting loose for some reason and i don't know why. If anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

 

You just have to get better clamps or do a better job of clamping. You also are only hurting your 9 if you have an intake as your only mod. IT's probably getting revenge by blowing off the IC pipes...

 

I was thinking about the better clamps idea and what other mods would help prevent hurting my evo.

 

Go to your local Napa and purchase T-bolt clamps my friend. They will keep it on FOREVER

 

yea t-bolts would be a good idea, i just don't understand why they keep comin off.

 

where do you live. il come by and help if you like. no charge

 

If it keeps popping off at the throttle body you need to make sure that the clamp is fully seated behind the lip. It its half on it will come off much easier.

 

I live in Medford NJ its right outside of cherry hill, in south jersey. i made sure the clamps were on the piping fully. it just seems odd that the clamps keep loosening

 

What brand of Intercooling Piping are you running with? If they are stock then try removing the HKS intake. I have the Injen hard pipe but it doesn't agree with the HKS intake system. T-Bolts are nice but the Injen kit didn't come with it. TTP says they don't get as tight as the worm style clamps. Ideal brand worm clamps came with the kit.

 

Bone stock

 

lol

 

HAHA......

 

i bet your clamps are shot. i got a few you can have if needed. the stock clamps are not quality at all. zip tie's could do better. lol. im in hopatcong. is that a long way's?

 

haha to be honest never heard of it. will just an intake in the long run really hurt my car. i am reading about how its not good now that i bought and installed it. are their an other mods that will help make my car happy with an intake.

 

which clamp is poping off?
