This is a slightly used FP Green and Megan O2 housing that I purchased recently. I noticed that one of the bolts is missing that hold the two together. Is it missing for a reason? It looks like a tight spot, so I was thinkin' that maybe the bolt won't fit. Or were the folks who assembled it being lazy?

 

Correct me if im wrong, but i think a stud goes there not a bolt, and you use a nut to keep it together while the other 4 use bolts.

 

Nah thats on the manifold to turbo connection. It looks like a tight spot so they were just being lazy and didnt have a small enough bolt to put in there. Go to autozone and get a heat treated bolt that will fit and u should be fine....I would take it all apart tho just to check what else they have been lazy on too.....thats just me tho.

 

I believe that the bolt is suposed to be M10x1.25 for the thread. I do not remember the length. You definetly need to put a new on in. It missing will cause an exhaust leak. Nothing to major but definetly there. Make sure to get exhaust grade. Anything less might stretch on you.

 

Lazy; get a new one.

 

No im pretty sure theres one on the o2 housing too. The guy before me was very lazy and left the same bolt out on mine. I couldnt find a bolt short enough to make that bend so I went to Mitsu. When I looked at the diagram I saw a stud in that place and not a bolt.

 

mmmmbst is right. There should be a stud there from the turbine housing.

 

I bought spare bolts/nuts/studs/gaskets/etc for the whole assembly. So, I should have a stud and nut for it. I just wanted to make sure that this isn't the normal way of doing things.

Thanks guys!

At the moment, I'm having a heck of a time with one of the bolts on the turbo to manifold connection. I used PB Blaster, an air impact gun (90psi ~260ft-lb) and tapping with a hammer. It's not budging. Argh...

 

yup thats lazy for ya. the dude before me also used the wrong bolts and when i went to remove them, they all broke off into the turbo. i ended up having to buy a new hot side because a machine shop broke off an easy out in one of the bolts. That whole thing was a bad experience. Good luck though!
