hey ppl

my turbo died a few weeks ago so i decided to take off the stock dead turbo. as i was doing so 3 of the 4 lock nuts that bolt the turbo to the manifold came off rather eaisly... but ofcourse there is always 1 that wont. the 4th 1 locked to the nut and i took out the stud from the manifold. i cant get the nut off without damaging the thread so my question is...

where can i get a manifold stud for a RB25?

ive been to several places and the responses have varied from "we dont have those... try this place" gone to this place and "thats a mazda part... try repco" went to repco and "we only stock the universal studs".

im going to try coventary fasterners tmrw arvo

any other places?

thanks

adam

they should be a generic stud, so simply take it to a few exhaust places, don't bother telling them what sort of car its from (as some people are a mix of stupid or lazy or both), and just say "do you have 1 of these?"

my local autobarn stocks a few of those sorts of things. they have spaces and gaskets for turbo's, etc and i'm pretty sure they have the studs as well. but i don't think you really want to drive 2 hours to gympie on the off chance they might have it, LOL

i assumed they were a generic stud aswell... but 1 end of the stud as M10 coarse thread and the other is M10 fine. the guy im getting the turbo off rang me this morning and he said the place next to him usually has studs and nuts that he's after...

gonna try them

if not, then maybe ill have to take drive to gympie :cool:

I take it you're talking about turbo flange studs? JustJap (www.justjap.com) have manifold studs, but they are to bolt manifold to engine. Whether they are the same studs as those used on the flange I have no idea.

doesn't really matter if 1 end is fine and the other end course. get 1 with the right thread to screw into the manifold and then just ask them for a nut to match the other end. simple as that.

EDIT: actually get 2 nuts, that way you can install the stud properly

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
