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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
