Hi,

I got BATML split dump, got all the gaskets ready.

Going to try to install it,

but b4 jack it up,

any tips or any advices that i should know? from ppl that installed them?

(just being cautious! :D as my last job fiting the the boost controller was a disaster)

cheers,

i agree heaps of wd40... when removing the bolts, if it doesn't "feel" right stop!!! then spray heaps more wd40... i sprayed them 4-5 times leaving 1/2 - 1 hour in between before i even attempted to remove them... they came off very easily...

EVIL: if i saw ur msg earlier, i would be this f**ked atm. :D

it was a disaster,

I did undo them very easily, until the last bolt,

it snapped on me "oh snap!" :laugh:

i wasted 2 hrs and still glued hard in there,

i bolt them back so i can drive for now.

i [probly gona bring it to livo exhaust to get it fix.

I think i have 2 options.

1. tick weld it to try to unscrew it from there

2. turbo off, and drill??? hope dun need to go that far.

:D

am soo stuffed.

but it feel heaps faster. ;)

Same happened to me only two bolts snapped. Enede up getting them drilled out and studs put in.. Also ended up getting my exhaust manifold redone as it had sheered the bolts due to distortion from the heat of the turbo... The labour which is the main cost is expensive.. Ie takes a good few hours! Just hard to get in there to wrok with not much room!

my case wasnt so bad,

Luckily the top Bolt was Snapped, wasnt the stud,

and it could easily be acess from the top.

Me and my friend, we got a welder, tick welded it and after few tried, it come loose, and sweet, didnt screwed up the thread either.

So i went to replaced them with all new High tensile Bolts and Nuts,

it is fixed now,

was plan to bring it to Liver Exhaust but i think gona charge me heaps,

My problem fixed all in 2 hrs of works, and cost 25 bucks for new bolts and RVT BLUE!

am happy!!! :D thanks god.!!!

just a warning to other ppl who wana DIY installing split dump,

1. quoted EVIL "if it doesnt feel right stop ---- more WD40"

and 2nd, if it snapped, if u got plenty of treads, use 2 nuts screwed them in, and try to undo the inner bolt.

my mistake was, i got like 2cm out, with treads, but i went and used force and stuffed up the tread, which is fcked myself harder.

well, lesson learn.

cheers,

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I've got an RB25 turbo sitting hear, and it seems that 2 bolts have been snapped off where it connects to the dump..

Haven't got much thread so i'll probably have to get the drill out.. how much of a problem is this? I didn't snap the one's on my car, so when the turbo goes in can I still use the one's in my car currently?

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
