StormLGT Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just bought some JB Weld for my stock top mount to prevent it from cracking since I'll be upping my boost. I just want to know how to properly apply it to the intercooler. Is there a write-up on how to do it? I have searched and haven't found anything, I just want to do it the right way. Thanks guys!

JJr Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 This is the correct way to do it, JB Weld no! http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/bulletproof-tmic-mod-lgt-08-wrx-158870.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLGT Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 This JB Weld is a very temporary thing, I just want to be cautious. I will only have it on for about a month or so, and have already decided to use it instead of Bulletproofing (sorry BarManBean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not sure if anyone has used it prior! Search and find out. I hope you're not in for a ShitStormLGT:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian3676 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I used JB weld on my stage 3 tune (about 18psi peak) for about 2 months, than I got a FMIC. I first re pinched all the clamp things, cleaned with brake cleaner and then applied it very very thick. I let it dry over 2 days, did a 3rd coat let it dry for 2 days then installed ( I had a spare intercooler to do this on) Lasted a while, but after a while I could see where the JB weld was stressed and going to crack very soon. I then got a FMIC. I guess JB weld would work as a temp thing, if your really in a pickle, but if its anything else I would highly suggest the bullet proof kit.

ttnio Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 JB weld will crack and fail if not applied properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
