ok i just got a buschur gt30r turbo kit and the manifold to turbo bolts always keep on backing out!!!!!!
what can i do?

does any body sell studs with lock washers???
what do you guys torque the 4 bolts to????

i'm running the helix downpipe and i was thinking maybe adding a flex pipe would help or making some kind of brace to support the turbo?\

the 4 bolts that hole the turbo keep on backing out

 

unfortunately, this happens. You will need to keep checking it.

 

Locktite

 

Doesn't heat break the locktite bonds making it useless on the turbo?

 

who works on your car?

 

i always work on my own car
does anyone else have this problem??
i can tighten the bolts preatty tight but after a few hundred miles then just get loose and start backing out.
WTF!!!!
if i dont keep on checking them i feel like my turbo will fall off and hit the road at any min!!!!

 

They make heat resistant Locktite.

 

The heat resistant Loctite is rated at 500F. That won't hold up for his application.

 

i also do all my own work. i used locktight and yet to have a problem....

 

You'd be surprised at the amount of "over-engineering" in heat resistant locktite.

 

Yes, but could it withstand the high temp and impact of a Hadouken? I think not...

 

Safety Wire

 

Why don't you just tell Bushur you are having a problem and I am sure he will remidiate the problem

 

I had a similar problem but found that the bolts weren't just backing out but stretching all together; I even had the bolts safety wired. I ended up using ARP studs which seemed to cure the problem.

 

LOL !!!!!
That is some great wit Exciting News!!!
Nothing can survive a Haduken.

Really though, we use it in/on power plant parts in our shop. It is quite amazing stuff. I will not guarantee it, but it may be worth a shot. External Mani temps don't exceed 1300F. o2 housing is even cooler. Flanges are thick. It could work.
