im getting a manifold currently made for my prelude. and i bought some bolts that im gonna use to bolt up the turbo to the t3 flange. im actually gonna get the bolts welded in place but im not sure if they will work. the guy told me that they are probably zinc. if this is ok let me no if not what can i use???

 

you can just put a tack on the side on the head of the bolt, and even if it doesnt fuse the bolt, it will keep it from turning

 

I guarentee they arent zinc bolts. They are probably zinc coated in which case you will need to take the coating off the part you are welding with acid or a wirewheel. Anyway, why in the world would you want to weld bolts to to your flange? Kinda defeats the purpose of a bolt.

 

I'm guessing he's trying to make a set of studs; sounds alright to me, it sure beats drilling and tapping for studs.

It's not that hard to drill and tap new threads. It'll take you maybe an hour more to do it properly by tapping the wholes and adding studs. Take your time and do it right
