Hey guys,

I got a broken stud on the exhaust manifold on number 6. I'm dying from the gases and lack of fuel economy. The car is hating sounding like a tracker and losing power.

Now the question is...Can I drill the stud out and helicoil it with the motor still in the car? Will I have enough room as its on #6?

Thanks.

easiest way is try and track down a stud remover guy to do it for you unless you have an air compressor right angle drill drill bits and also easy outs/stud removers be able to do it yourself why not pull off manifold and everything around it and have a look you will find you may break more studs as well as you do it but hey atleast youll be able to replace them easier as well, good luck

Have you ever thought it's you George????

You ask some of the most stupid questions. Maybe, just maybe nobody has broken the manifold stud at #6 here in Oz, because I sure haven't in all the years I have been playing with these cars.

I would think common sense would tell you, maybe a good look under the bonnet might give you the most probable answer to your question.

As for useless, I think that's a bit harsh, because you forget, HybridZ is an L6 series specialist forum, where SAU and L6 engine specialists would be very short on the ground. I know if I want to know anything specific about L6 engines, I don't ask them on SAU, I go direct to the best source HybridZ.

The L6 engine is growing less and less popular and only the diehard purists want to stay with them.

Did you ever think to ask NDSOC Forum the question? bet you didn't?? but you can criticise SAU without reservation.

Cheers, D

i had a similar pro b with my l20et when i got it all i did was used my tig to build up the stud untill i ca just wind it out with a set of multigrips.

i have also used the mig to do the same but its a little harder you have to make sure you get peno with the first bead.

if you dont have a welder a easy out is your best bet but its a bugger of a job... good luck.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
