on the 3rd gen max site someone with a 92 se did a mod using a pvc cap to fill a hole is that pvc good to use .. i thought pvc isnt a good material for heat so i read

 

PVC is way bad, heat breaks it down into chlorine and you dont want your engine ingesting that

 

that mod does absolutely nothing anyways

 

probably b/c he doesn't no better about PVC or he is too cheap to buy something that won't kill him

 

what if i were to put a layer coating of steel mixed epoxy over it...ive use this epoxy b4 to seal a crack on my old cars radiator ,it can surely take the heat....btw why is that other guy using it

 

plexiglass or even a thin piece of sheetmetal will work fine.. all you wanna do is cover up the hole.

but as was said, it doesn't to anything worthwhile.. the only difference you get is the engine is MUCH louder below 3500rpm.

 

guess if i aint gettin no power out of it i might as well not waste my time right.. ok thanx for the clarification....btw dont you find it odd my 2nd post is after ngthing ...he quoted my reply

 

welcome to the twilight org.......... do do do do do do do do

 

woah..that's some crazy stuff...i just saw that..I also noticed I can't spell today..i've gotta get some sleep...

these teachers dont "no" what they are doing to me with all this work! ;p

 

also when pvc gets hot, it start flaking.

 

you guys are forgetting that the intake tube on our cars never gets hot enough to worry about that. it's made from ABS plastic, which will melt and fall apart sooner than PVC will even go past it's rated temperatures. Most PVC is rated to 250F.. that part of our engines probably never gets above 150-160, and on really bad days might get to 200. it's nothing to worry about.

 

so? the stock intake pipe is not pvc (like you said, abs plastic, which is very heat resistent). you say nothing to worry about? it may not get that hot but you really never know, why use pvc when you know its proven to be not realiable cars, people dont ***** about pvc for no reason. stick to a material that you know will stand the test of time and heat.

 

Uhhhh, there's lots of stuff in yout engine bay that's made from PVC. mostly they're small parts, but it's still there.
it's pretty heat resistant and will last forever.

 

The dude at the Brooklyn meet this weekend with the Black 93 SE had a custom Cold Air Intake made out of, if I am not mistaken PVC tubes? Not sure, his Max.org ID is JibaroMax... He said it worked pretty well but he didn't reccomend doing that.

 

so in conclusion, doing this wont do anything to begin with so why bother.....i still wont trust PVC anywhere in my engine bay its a car not a toilet

 

go to ( gen3.4mg.com ) then go into library ,then intake resonator removal ...see my dilema...looks good ,but when matt n bull says its not worth it ,im thinkin there right cuz they usually r
