Hey guys i need to know what is the strongest bolt-studs that i can get to link the turbo up to the turbo manifold. I have been using apr but they keep backing out or snapping any ideas?

 

you can get nuts with saftey wire holes and safety wire them. we use them on crap hanging off the f16 with tons of vibration and never have issues. its when they come loose and then the turbo moving around causeing the break. do this and they will not back out period

 

do you happen to know where i can find some?

 

there are some cool looking washers in this thread...some sort of lock washers

 

Search for Nord Lock washers

 

thanks, ill just post this website here

are you guys having problems with oem studs and oem castle nuts?

 

^ thanks for the link man, good info! now I just gotta pick the correct part #.

 

What size are your studs?

If they are M8, check out the stock Nissan inconel studs for the RB28DETT. I've heard they go for ~$10 a piece but haven't been able to confirm.

If they are M10, check out TrackSpeed Engineering's inconel stud kit: http://trackspeedengineering.com/sto...6b95245142198d

It's expensive, but you'll never have to worry about breaking studs again.

 

you need to safety wire the nuts.. thats a 12,000% fix. <factual if you do the tightening correctly they can not back off,,,rattle around...break off.. period. you can google saftey wire nuts.. find the correct size. you need a safety wire plier and and spool of safety wire. 6-1- twist per inch and safety wire them so they tighten each other. use that kit for all sorts of small fixes. some track cars do it to their oil caps, dip sticks, etc.. anything that can back off. pm me if you need help. i safety wire daily in a ton of various ways
