my dam turbo mani bolts keep vibrating out.any ideas that WORK!!!had the allen bolt and those even vibrated out #@*#&.

 

lock washers, deformed thread locknuts and studs, double nuts, it goes on and on. There's lots of easy solutions.

 

I use copper locknuts for the manifold, turbo, and downpipe. I also double nut two of the turbo to manifold bolts. No problems here.

 

guess there SCREWS.they are the onese that screw the turbo no to the mani.allen screws fell out dam...

 

blue lock-tite.

This worked for me as well...and you can get them back out without too much trouble.

 

* 100% reliable, zero failures in more than 6,000,000 applications. Header fasteners absolutely, positively will not back out. Eliminates need to monitor and tighten bolts regularly
* Grade 8 aircraft quality bolts made in U.S.A. Duplex nickel plated
* Manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty
* NOTE: ¹ Will not fit 4.6L/5.4L modular V-8

 

i tac welded my bolts to the turbo. small enough so that they can be easily broken with a wrench. it has done the trick for me.

Try summit, I know they are mostly for American cars but getting them to work with imports should not be to hard.

 

i prefer red-loctite. but those bolts look like a good alternative

 

safety wire solved the problem for me..

 

Clean out the threads. Use a little red Loc-Tite after

 

Take a small worm hose clamp and tighten it around the head of the bolt after you tighten the bolt down. Back the screw part against the turbo housing so the bolt cant turn. Costs like nothing and works great.

 

Loktite is only good for 400 degrees F. Pretty sure my mani gets waaaayy hotter than that. Sad that I still have to point misconception that out.

 

i have the same problem...... drag kit.... maybe if i add a flex pipe to my downpipe, it should help reduce the vibration?

 

I will try red lock tight first. if that doesn't work let me get some of those bolts!!!

Screw the blue and red loctite, step up to taht green and yellow loctite. Green can be found almost anywhere, yellow is specialty.

Genereally red loctite is good enough, regardless of temperature rating

 

thanks

i used redloctite on everything, all last season and not once bolt loosened up once (on the turbo setup that is )

 

lock washers are the cheapeast/easiest solution.

got those washers but still coming out

 

Had a similar problem with my inline pro turbo manifold. The bolts the hold the turbo on keep backin out, falling out. So, I just got two small pieces of metal and tack welded them to the heads of the bolts. Problem solved. The stage 8 stuff is great. Just was in a bind and had to fix it then. Well be going with those when I get my new turbo.
