Turbo manifold nut problem
 

First post! So I built a sketchy $500 turbo miata, with one of those fleabay cast manifolds (can't really beat $150 for cast) or so I thought, but I can't get the top 2 nuts on, or the very middle bottom one. There's literally no space. Anyone have any ideas?? BTW try to contain yourselves from my horrifying Frankenstein mechanic work, this is a budget buildhttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8582507c0d.jpg

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...fc999c3dbf.jpgThis is the frankenstien

angle grinder + cheap wrench.

You could try a step down stud or a allen head bolt instead of the stock studs and nuts. Even a lower profile nut may do the trick.

That in conjuction with possibly grinding the manifold

Holy dicks...


Kill yourself, problem solved.

Woke up to this. Today is looking good.
Thanks.

Oven-duct-vent piping downpipe, FTW. Can we see a picture of how that bolts up to the turbine housing? :bigtu:

+1. Please do this.

You can be on a budget and not be retarded.

3/10 meh troll

Thanks guys, how did I know I would be assisted by the best coming to miataturbo.net! My $4 downpipe is literally for 3 days cuz I needed to get a v band dp welded. And tbh, it's 2016, we should really stop calling people retarded, whether or not you agree with my miata choices.

Unless you are actually retarded...

Wow, wise words man. Thanks for your insight

Typical broke-dick miata shit. Boost into stock crossover. First time iv seen that. Congrats

I hate it when people call their piece of shit embarrassment of a "build" a "budget" build. Because it gives actual budget builds. Instead of saying its a budget build, just call it what it is. A lazy broke-dick embarrassment of a car.

You're right, it's not a strong enough word for how bad this is. It's a disservice to retarded people who actually have more brain cells than you.

Fuck you.

Im your age, I can tell based on this part of your post. Fuck your entitled pathetic left leaning bullshit. Fuck off.

"It's 2016" is not not an argument, retard.

Run the DP into the intake for double boost. Much quieter also.

I went to do an actual "budget" setup on my 1.6 daily a few months ago and there were no taco taco manifolds left. Fuck you, retard

This fag is like the fags who have effectively banned the word făggot. Since it somehow refers to gay people, and since we as a society are now more accepting of fags, we cant use the word fag.

What a retarded făggot.


But seriously, if the uppipe is only for 3 days, why did you even bother running to home depot and putting an hour+ and $10 into that? Do you plan to eliminate the factory crossover? Or are you going to let it eliminate itself? And is that a copper line running to what I believe to be an FMU?

Pretty sure that's clear vacuum hose reflecting some sun. You can see the rest along the intake.

OP. You could have posted only the first picture, which was pertanent to your question; and avoided all the grief that was spawned from the second one.

I needed this. I feel so much better about myself. It is like watching a episode of "Hoarders" or "Maury Povich" and thinking that your life could be so much worse. Seriously...Thank you.

If you learn something from viewing all these replies, let it be this:

Please do not call this a build, or even budget. Retard fits, unlike your 'downpipe'.

get a cheap 14mm, shave the sides down. That's what I had to do






Retard....

Looks like your valve cover is leaking.

What heat shield is that?

Where can I get Danger Danger decals for my winshield?

I love this. Some people actually offer advice, but then still call you a retard.

I love this place.

:cool:

I can only imagine how different this thread would be if the OP just included the first picture. Besides a leaky valve cover gasket one would most likely only assume that OP is only having issues with the manifold and would have refrained from the extreme ridicule and informing him of the wide range of quite obvious other issues brought about by the second picture. Next time don't include unnecessary pictures that seem to just be there to bring up discussion on the...ummm..."quality" of the rest of your project and its just a good idea anyway to only include what is necessary in pictures to make the intent of your post more clear because as it sits you post includes a completely unnecessary photo that appears to be placed there for attention purposes, Just a thought.

that's the thing about stupid people, they're too stupid to know what to post and what not to

hey, this is 2016, there are no stupid people...just retards.

that's so offensive, I'm so offended. goshhh

I need to goto my safe space. These micro-aggressions are getting to me.

:drama:

Into the trash it goes

I don't know any Gregs :ugh:

There is a difference between building on a budget vs. building beyond reasonable means.

What you're doing here is retarded, you're wasting your time building a piece of shit that going to run like crap, break down every other day. Its not worth it.

It costs too much to be a retard.

Not enough duct tape to fix this one.

Only Craigs :bowrofl:
