How did you plug your bung holes?

[swl987]

I'll bet you thought this thread was dirty. I have to cap a bung on my power pipe and one on a pipe that came with my new intercooler. Is threading them and putting a cap on the way to do it? I am concerned with pipe dope or thread tape getting to my engine. I suppose If you thread the outside that is not a problem. What are my options?

Well I thought this was going to be a lot more interesting!

my shop tapped and threaded the bungs and inserted a threaded barb in there and then just capped the barb. You could do it that way or just weld something over the bung.

Hey spedermen, should'nt you have more boost with that size pulley?

 

[Bramcavender]

Mine has a one way check valve, stuffs go out, nothing goes in, sorry. I have nothing technical to add.

U would think so. Not sure why i'm only at 9psi. After my bullitt intake install, i think i'm going to pulley down to a 3.12 pulley. Maybe because everything is free flowing from intake to exhaust (headers/no cats) and with the intercooler eating some boost, thats the only reason i can think of

Thread it and use teflon tape. It will be fine.

It's not on yet but, I've been told I should have 10lbs. with the new intercooler and a 3.33 pulley.

I eat a lot of cheese and banana and that plugs my bung.



























In all seriousness, I've seen them welded up, and I've seen a plug in them too.

It doesn't matter if teflon tape gets into your engine. It will be annihilated in the cylinder if it makes it that far.

I will do that for ya. Finally setup a photobucket account so I can post some car pics. By the way, the guy thats welding the mini-race and new bung on the power pipe is just going to weld my bung holes. That should be my last comment about bung holes.thanks

Go to home depot and get a rubber cap for abs pipe. It slips over the bung hole and you just tighten a hose clamp and its done. I cant decide if I like my bov venting to the atmosphere or into the power pipe so I am constantly switching back and forth.
