Hey all,

Just after some loctite but there are a fair few variants. Basically need something suitable for flywheel, suspension parts and here n there. Are any of them good enough? I want it to be removable without heating. I heard the blue ones break under certain torque which is probably best but still there are many numbers.

Any advice would be great guys. Also where do I buy the cold stuff in a can from, to shrink bolts.

I just used some high strength thread locker on my brothers flywheel but there is nothing left in the tube and I also have no idea how strong high strength is lol so incase I need to pull it off, I don't want to sit there heating shit up.

Cheers guys.

Just go to bursons and have a look at what they have got. Get the high strength one for the flywheel bolts, i personally wouldnt bother with the weaker locktite products ie there is a green colored one and i think a few others. You shoudn't need locktite on suspension stuff anyways, just tighten them to 'FT'.

The cold stuff is called rust of ice, we use that at work. You can also use the subaru decoke stuff, that works awesome on rusted and uber tight bolts.

I have always used 243, its a medium strength blue one. Cracks easy without heat and holds well, also acts as a lubricant for alloy to stop thread galling.

For the flywheel you may want a harder one though.

266 in the link looks promising.

Have a read and gauge for yourself. IMO i would be talking to a mechanic that regularly changes clutches / flywheels as their business depends upon it not stuffing up.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
