bolts from turbo extension to turbo??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

LOwrestling2001 · 03-02-2003, 11:13 AM

hey,
apparently one of the bolts that connect my turbo extension to the turbo has fallen out, does anyone know the specs on these bolts and where to get them? thanks

Try calling Greddy or HeavyThrottle. Isn't the turbo extension from TRUST(Greddy)?

LOwrestling2001 · 03-02-2003, 02:33 PM

haha iu'd like to avoid having to order such trivial parts from greddy

Especially considering you will get it a couple of months from now. Every thing that I have inquired about from greddy is on a wait list (2-3 months minimum)

Edit: call heavy throttle 1-866-4 SR SWAP
or Enjuku Racing 1-866-SR20DET

They always have extra parts laying around and the best part is you can negotiate on a price [like the used SR radiator I just got]

I was thinkin more of getting the sizing and thread angle/count from them and having one/all made by ARP or something if you couldn't find one from a US company....

(yes I know it would cost....)

uiuc240 · 03-03-2003, 09:55 AM

easy. they are normal bolts. go to Ace Hardware (or similar) and go to the Stainless Steel section...get M8 x 1.25 pitch bolts. I believe they are 25mm long, but I can't remember. Just take another one out and take it with you...there are 3 of them.

get lock washers while you're at it...helps a lot.

LOwrestling2001 · 03-03-2003, 11:04 AM

they have to be grade 8 right?

uiuc240 · 03-03-2003, 11:21 AM

Grade 8 is an SAE thing. Metric will be in Grade 8.8, and 12.9...maybe 10.9 too...can't remember right now. I got 12.9 on mine.

u think i should just replace the 3 studs at the bottom w those bolts and lock washers? cuz one of studs already broke, and i'm just considering getting another turbo since, i'll have to pull the turbo just to replace it, might as well u know

.

LOwrestling2001 · 03-03-2003, 11:30 AM

uiuc, do u have AIM if so PM me thx

LOwrestling2001 · 03-03-2003, 11:32 AM

also, are u running 5 bolts on ur extension? or 2 bolts and 3 studs...cuz one of my studs broke (damn it)

uiuc240 · 03-03-2003, 11:44 AM

sorry, no IM here at work.

I have 3 bolts and 2 studs on mine. For about 8 months, the studs had no nuts on them because they had loosened right off. I have lock washers on all of it now, and it's holding like super glue. I also re-bent the metal tab thing, so they don't have a chance of spinning loose.

I would probably see if you can replace the stud that's broken...it's a bitch to get at that thing though. You'll definitely have to take it all apart. What I would do, is just get everything tightened as best as you can, and then just leave it alone until you get a turbo upgrade or something. I'm going with a T28 this summer.

Let me just say this, taking the turbo out SUCKS. I had to do it because I got a mad exhaust leak. Avoid it at all costs. If you just need to tighten things up, just tighten things up. It will hold with 3 or 4 of the 5 bolts...especially if you get the lock washers. I know that sounds ghetto, but it's way better than spending 10 hours removing and replacing the turbo and mani (I'm sure it will go faster the second time, though).

Eric

LOwrestling2001 · 03-03-2003, 12:52 PM

do u think it'd be smarter to just use all 5 grade 12.9 bolts w lockwashers?

uiuc240 · 03-03-2003, 02:46 PM

yes, but the two studs are going to be a BIATCH to get at. like i said...is it worth it to you to spend 10+ hours just to get those bolted down? Just do the 3-4 you can get at and call it good.

Eric

LOwrestling2001 · 03-03-2003, 03:39 PM

no no no, i mean...when i put in my next turbo

then use all those 5 grade 12.9 bolts, they're allen heads if i'm not mistake right

uiuc240 · 03-03-2003, 03:47 PM

ahh. no, they are 12mm hex head (use a socket or a wrench).

i suppose you could use allen heads if you found them in that size, but you couldn't tighten two of them (no room).

Eric

LOwrestling2001 · 03-03-2003, 03:58 PM

i mean i suppose i could find a socket with a hex head on it for the ratchet, i've seen those around

i called hardware store, the highest grade they have w hex head bolts is grade 8 i need somethin thats fail proof

uiuc240 · 03-03-2003, 09:25 PM

you need to go to a specialty store...not Home Depot. you need to go to like Ace Hardware. that's where I get all my good shi.

Eric

LOwrestling2001 · 03-04-2003, 12:56 AM
