oODanKNesSOo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Anyone have a part number for the banding tool for auto zone or similar? They can't comprehend what I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 thats one of those things you have to order. But looks like advance auto carries it http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/otc-cv-joint-banding-tool-and-cutter-otc4623/17631667-P they may or may not carry it where you are but for me its only shipped. But i'm pretty sure the overall consensus was that they had to order it. Try a non main stream auto parts store, doesn't seem to be stocked in chain stores.

Tehnation Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Lisle 30950 is the cheaper one http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/LIS0/30950/N0718.oap?ck=Search_N0718_-1_-1&pt=N0718&ppt=C0374 and the better one is OTC 4623 From the looks you have to order it. If you know a local parts distributor, ones that local automotive shops use, same day delivery type stuff, you would probably get lucky!

rmoore5 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Here is how I did it using a screwdriver and the tire plug tool I already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nice! I also saw other methods using needle nose pliers and what not... My concern there is not knowing if it were as tight as it needs to be. I'd hate to cheap out on the install and waste the kit, and lose my tmic down the line :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcRen Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just ordered mine! If you can let me know an estimated delivery date I would appreciate it. Thanks! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNfEk Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 sorry if this question has been asked. just found this thread as I found a leak in my TMIC end tank on the passenger side front side just before the intake manifold. does this correct for leaking cores or is this to safe your core from leaking? if the core is leaking, does the channel in the aluminum allow for such gap? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Not sure if it will "fix a leak", however, I can that when you install it you first pinch the tabs with vice grips then gently hammer the rails on... which may in fact seal a leak(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I definitely wouldn't be the guy to talk to about that. Being that it's a member who developed this kit and provided it at a reasonable cost to fellow scoobers, I'd feel wrong doing that. Now if he wants to, that's on him. I know he's posted what you'd need to DIY for the kit... there isn't much to it. That, and I don't have the destructions anymore! LMFAO sorry bro. Send the OP a pm, or wait for a response hear I'm sure it's all G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) If you take the chance to read the first post you would see this NOTE: If you have the tools and skills, and are interested in fabricating your own kit... The BP Mod files are still available, just send me a PM. ............................... Just send a pm! Edited May 7, 2016 by Tehnation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdfreetuna Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 These are still for sale, yeah? Checked out the website and it hasn't been updated in a bit. Just want to make sure there's some in stock before I order one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to make sure there's some in stock before I order one. Yup, replied to your PM also. For those that have placed orders most recently, I have seriously sucked at getting things out quickly as of late. I just got my saw back from my dad to get things moving again and should have all orders filled in the next few days.

bdfreetuna Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Great, just placed an order for a kit. Pretty excited to find out about this as I'm peaking around 19psi on a VF40 with Cobb Stage 2 93 OTS. Fortunately the car's only been set up this way for a few thousand miles and everything is good. Have a VF52 and some other parts going in along with a BrenTuning tune in 2-3 months. Seems like a good time to bulletproof the intercooler and not worry about pushing the new turbo. Will limit WOT time until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdfreetuna Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) What is this you speak of??? Have a newish stock IC coming in this week so I'll bullet proof that and proceed to beat on the one I have with 112k miles in the meantime. The tabs aren't separating too badly except for a couple notable exceptions. Pretty sure it will survive until the swap edit.. the "newish" IC I bought off facebook turns out to have a leak (can tell just by looking at it). Got burnt!

Heytiggr Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 and another order being placed today. SO glad I am not buying a new IC instead!! Or not - drat. Sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted July 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah, sold out because I cut some of the short/front rails....too short :/ If anyone is still interested I can supply a kit with a short front rail, probably no functional issue at all.

Heytiggr Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'll be patient and hang on until you have more kits made with correct length rails. I get nervous around words like 'probably'. Plus, if the rail is too short, will the band hold it as securely and rattle-free? I really appreciate that you are making these. You are saving so many of us so much worry!

Heytiggr Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hey Chris - thanks very much. I have the banding tool and am going to do a couple other things at the same time (like take care of the blue T under the intercooler. I'll let ya know when I get the kit.
