just ordered the Resbond thread locker. I talked to the guy on the phone and he said they use it in racecars with cast iron, horizantally mounted turbos and its worked without failure.
Will report back. |

http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/700/760/760-2xxxx.jpg Available here and here. Tech linky... The story on these studs is that, once you've got the flange over the studs, you tighten the nuts...and then tighten a little set screw that's inside the stud end. This widens the diameter of the stud, making the nuts unable to loosen. Given the issue at hand, I'd then have to wonder how secure the little set screws would be. However, it's another option to consider.

I'm going with thread locker on both sides and very little torque on the nut. Hopefully that will let the cast iron shit expand and not break hardware.
|
Are you breaking shit? I am yet to break anything from actual track abuse. My only problem is loosening hardware. Think that goo you posted will keep it from loosing? That matched with the stage 8s should do it.. Lets hope.

:drama:
I hope someone finds a cheap way to do this too. My studs were backing out too with locking copper nuts. Pain in the ass. That crazy threadlocker sounds promising though. Is there a preferred stud to use with the threadlocker? |

Is there a preferred stud to use with the threadlocker? The strongest ones you can find, i posted the strongest ones i could find on the original post in THIS thread. If you find something stronger post it here. 40mm is as long as a t25 will fit with the begi cast mani. |
Nick, I'll go halves on a bottle of resbond with you.
|
I don't know that the strongest is wise...we don't want a brittle stud, we want one to expand and contract. Then again, I'm talking out of my ass and going to try it with the shit I ordered from BEGi today. I'm replacing everything and putting Resbond on it. If this works, I'm going to shit my pants and run.

Locking Tab, M10 or 3/8", Turbo Nut - 034 MOTORSPORT
Saw this...kind of interesting. Similar to the other one posted earlier in this thread. Would probably work great with bolts and an easy diy. |
|
is that 10 or 8mm sav?

Oh no, you'll never be done. You'll want your bushings replaced, your final drive changed, an engine brace, a wing, splitters, the works.

I love driving it on the street too much to gut it and only drive it once a month or less. I really like taking a street car to the track, then driving it home...I also really like taking it with me on business travel so I'm not trapped in a Hyundai for 6-months at a time with racetracks close by. I have another miata that will be a racecar before its done with lots of aero. |
