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

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
