Well i tried to get my turbo studs out. and couldnt so i took it to a machine shop. and well i need new ones. And was wonderin what is recommended? does ARP make something? or should i just go with OEM?

Thanks

 

why did you need to take them out, where they stripped?

 

When i got the my car. there was a megan exhaust header on there. and something happened to it. leading to it being shired off at the top and so i need new ones.

 

IMO i'd just go oem

 

OEM you dont need ARP because those bolts dont stretch.

 

you can get ones from arp, but those seize up just as bad as oem ones. I have snapped 3 in 6months so I just drilled the threads out all together and put bolts though with a nut on the other end so they couldnt seize up anymore.

 

Where can i find them? I have looked for them on oem mitsu parts. but idk if lancershop as what im looking for. Is this look right to every one?http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...productid=4207
Or http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...productid=3575

 

anti seize is a must/ur best friend, this is what I use and everything comes off with no problems. You have to understand those really high temperatures on the exhaust manifold and o2 housing will cause the metal/bolts to weld on each other so that why anti seize is used so it withstands high temperatures and doesnt allow the metal to seize.

 

dont use lancershop, go to ur local mitsu dealer or order from mitsubushiparts.net. Call them and tell them what you need and they will give you the part number.

 

got it, didnt help to much . Thats the copper, which is good for like 2200deg. Bolts will stretch once you torque them and overtime with heat cycles will just wear the bolt and slowly burn away the anti sieze. Its the threads in the exhaust housing, its hard to take all that heat.

It works dont get me wrong, I just still have snapped turbo bolts. I found this method easier and cheaper will less down time since I can go autoparts store and get a grade 8-10 bolt with nut.


For the OP, go to your local mitsu dealer. They usually have them in stock and are the same price as what you see other venders selling them for but at least you dont pay for shipping nor the wait.

 

I dont have any dealers close to me. does anyone know the part number. IDK if i trust lancer shop

 

i think you can buy some on fp...

 

Is this what would work for it?http://store.forcedperformance.net/m...Lancer-TurboHW

maperformane has em and theyre a great company to deal with. they also have the mitsu part number if you wanna try to get it elsewhere

 

Do yourself a favor and buy the bolts not the studs. Will make future removal of manifold/turbo 100 times easier.
