hey guys,

iv got 3 broken manifold studs that need to come out, iv already tried to get them out but dont want to go any further because of the risk of damaging the head

so just wondering does any one know of a mobile thread guy that will come out and do it?

any help would be great :)

how did you try get them out ???

did you drill through the stud then use an easyout?

thats the easiest way to get them out

oh and put a lil bit of heat around them with an oxy torch can loosen them up a bit

To get broken studs out if you can tack a piece of metal to it and then just undo it. I understand that it may not be possible without the room to do it or if the stud is too deep in. Just an idea that worked for me

iv found a mobile thread repair service

"peter whitefoot thread repairs", says he does broken studs and re thread etc so ill give him a call tomorrow :(

hopefully he can get it done then i can get the manifold back on, then the new turbo, then s15 injectors, then pfc with z32 afm............

then hopefully my car will be faster than brads (RDIRTY3's) car which will put me at rest :)

    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
