hi

am am installing a new turbo tomorow and need to run a 10mm spacer so i need longer studs to bolt the turbo down...does any body know the thread size for the stud, the thread thats in the manifold its sel,f not the thread with the nut you tighten...

would take one out as a sample but need the car to get to the shops...

cheers

if someone could tell me wether there is 2 types of thread on 1 stud , 1 end for manifold 1 end for the nut to tighten turbo down...

both thread sizes would be sweet

cheers

:sick:

wat turbo u putting on? i needed 20mm spacer for gt3582 with 25mm extended studs. i have a set of 4 as spares when i got local engineer to make them for me. they are a different thread on both sides. Pretty simple though, the coarse thread is what goes into your manifold, the finer thread is where your turbo flange must tighten with. Just take one of your studs out and tell them u need the same stud as it is with the fine thread side extended 12-13 or 25mm depending, obviously in a heat tolerant metal and they will mill you studs to suit.

Edit: the 12-13mm 25mm extension in stud length is to clear the additional gasket thickness also. 25mm longer studs on a 20mm spacer was perfect.

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 馃榿 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It鈥檒l be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
