I have tired the impossible to solve this problem.

My bolts holdling the manifold and the turbo together keep on coming out. I have tried everything.

Lock-tight, locking washers, million set of bolts, and still, they come loose.

It's precision SC-61 on a old school lovefab shorty manifold. Yes I realize that the turbo is heavy as *****, but any solutions out there for me??

I really don't want to spot weld the turbo and the manifold

TIA

 

spot weld the bolts

 

Are you using Grade 8 hardware? Make sure everything is super ------ tight and I can't see why it would keep coming off, unless your engine is shaking the ---- out of everything?

 

But then I can't ever take out the bolts since I won't be able to put a wrench around the bolts, right?

 

I do have a mount that's broken, I suppose that causes a lot of vibrations? I am going to fix that very soon.

 

Turbo car with broken mounts=problems.

 

Any car with broken mounts=problems fix that ----. Are you using a nut and a bolt? or is the manifold threaded?

 

At first I started out with studs, but that didn't work out so switched over to bolts.

Yah the manifold is threaded and the turbo isn't it.

I was using 2 nuts on 2 of the bolts becuase the 2 in teh back end up hitting the runner or hidden by the runner and therefore you can't use nuts on the rear ones. Nevertheless, it still didn't work out for me.

 

id say the mount is causing you some issues. fix it.

 

this confused me ..So how many bolts matched with nuts do you have in the manifold.
From what I'm understanding, your saying you only have have (2) bolts with matching nuts on the front
and nothing on the back ones?
