I ground a curve in the BOV flang from a first gen Talon. Then JB welded it to a pipe. Holds 21 PSI no problem. The stock IC on a Dodge has a substance like JB holding the end tanks on, only the Indy was welded. So I would say to try itMy96z said:

Will the JB Weld hold it secure?
Reason I ask is I hate to spend $42 on a little piece of steel if I can just JB weld it in there. I bought the valve used and it came with the aluminum flange.
Thanks

Alum to steel? How are they going to do that?ShelbyGLHS592 said:Just take it to your local exhaust shop and let them weld it on for you.
Yes, I bought one of the most exspensive blow off valves USED that came WITH a aluminum flange.Tudds said:You bought one of the most expensive blow off valves and now you don't want to fork over 40 dollars to get it put on?
I doubt it. People have repaired cracked blocks with this stuff. I fixed a crack in my head next to the oil gallery a couple of years ago, it's still there.Turbo3IROC said:I tried several times, I could never get it to hold. Maybe T3 cars get a bit hotter under the hood?
Umm, they won't. You see, you can't weld aluminum to steel. Have it welded to an aluminum pipe. JB Weld is so...umm...trailer park.TheGinMill said:Alum to steel? How are they going to do that?
