Having probs with the aluminum carb flanges poping off under boost.
thinking about using set screws or glue.?
has anyone used apoxy or glue to get them to seat.?
and does it hold under huge boost like 25 PSI.
popps off around 18 pounds.
thanx in advance

The flanges Ken........yours were installed by Nicky........but hey if you want to glue your blue silicon boots onto the carbs go ahead!!!

I think Devin was talking about his intercooler too blue boots,cause @ 18lb's boost he couldn't keep on his intercooler (even after zip tied) Devin maybe try the hairspray trick!

He originally claimed the "aluminum flanges" were popping off. So what is it? The flanges or the boots?

Devin, roughup inner bore of aluminum flange and outer bore of carb with sandpaper or emery cloth, then wipe down with lacquer thinner. Mix up some JB Weld, apply thinly to both surfaces, install flange onto carb and wipe away excess. As for the stalling problem, haven't got that one figured out yet but I think most people are jetting too lean for starters. I found a great tuning website the other night you should check out. I'll try to find it right now. PS Someone I know has an MC rear mount on an RX and is running 147.5s.
