hi guys

today when i was giving my engine bay a clean when i Noticed that one of the Exhaust Manifold studs and blot was gone (snaped off) from Cylinder 1. the very first on the left.

my question is would they make my car lose power? as i can see its leaking a little bit,

cheers

You will loose power as exhaust is bypassing the turbo, in turn hurting response and power.

similar question guys...

was putting my new dump on yesterday and snapped the top bolt in the back of the turbo housing. still managed to get a fairly good seal on it and used gasket maker on it just to be safe..

is there going to be any problems driving this around until i can get it out? just dont have the time to pull my turbo off at the moment to get it out

cheers

sorry for breaking in on your thread... just didnt want to start another one for such a similar question :)

turbo off plus manilfod off. Budget on a fair bit of time.

Probably about 4 hours to get it all off. Get a stud remover guy out (~$180 to $200 including studs) or weld a nut or ezy out.

New gasket etc ~$100

If you cant see much soot on there and you arent going to keep the car that long I wouldnt bother.

Mine were like that for 2+ years. I only fixed them when I took the turbo off to highflow.

But if it gets real bad it can create a chaneel in the head!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
