hey guys. ive just installed a 2510 on my car and everything is sweet bar one annoying thing.

there is a hole on top of the exhaust housing on the turbo. its just after the flange (where the turbo bolts to manifold i.e T3). i'm pretty sure its for some kind of sensor, i'm thinking exhaust temp.....

problem i have is i just wanna plug it up but i cant find a bolt that fits. ive tried everything i can get in both imperial and metric. i have also thought about just having it welded shut but IF it is for a sensor than its prob not best and i dont really wanna have to take it all off just to have it welded and im a little concerned about fragments of metal falling in the exhaust housing if i have it welded with the turbo bolted up.

does anyone know what the pitch of the thread is for that hole? its a real fine thread. OR if it is for a sensor, what sensor is it for and where could i get a cheap second hand one just to plug the hole???

Cheers - Ryan

Should be 1/8 BSP tapered

Should be 1/8 BSP tapered

I thought egt sensors are normally 1/8 npt? who knows.

I have the same problem although i have the old sensor plug still in there that leaks a bit, so i want it blocked off.

I must admit, i have no idea what language you 2 are speaking.

Can you elaborate a bit so i can go into Mitre 10 and get a bolt to block it off?

I took the sensor out and went into Bunnings and they couldn't match it, so back in it went.

Thanks dudes... :)

hi,

i have a set of greddy gauges including exhaust temp. sensor and oil temp sensor. All are 1/8 PT (it`s slightly different from 1/8 npt). I also have a greddy sandwich plate installed under the oil filter. This sandwich plate has two 1/8pt holes for sensors but closed with plugs.

Find someone who uses this sandwich plate with at least one sensor -- he must have one spare plug. Use it :domokun:

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
