Knock, Knock, Whos There? Help!

I agree with Rich. Take it to your fav muffler shop. Beer will get them out in a hurry. I have a muffler shop here in town that looks after stuff like that for me.

Well, I borrowed my friends welder. I'm going to try welding the nut to it as I don't need the studs. I'll try that, if no luck I'll reluctantly take the turbo off and bring it to a exhaust shop

After they break off by flush,
 you can take it to a machine shop

Then you can get some left handed drill bits and get to drillin em out. Make sure you center it well with the small bit.

[Steve Wood]

After that, you can buy a new turbo

Fuck me right... my temper is way to short for my impatience. You can probably guess. If not, we'll, I'll be at an exhaust shop in the next couple days.

So did a little work on the car.
Installed caspers upgraded positive cable with relocated fuse links.
Caspers ground relocation
Knock sensor connector
Oil light connector
Fan relay connectors and relays

Fun stuff.
Haven't touched the turbo. I'm giving it the silent treatment. I'll probably remove it tomorrow and bring it to a shop on friday.

Ordered the stainless braided lines and an fittings for the transmission cooler today. A bit more expensive than originally though but oh well.

I have a 12 x 12 b&m(?) Trans cooler. That size should suffice, correct? Any justifiable reason to go bigger?

No...that one should do the trick...don't mount it flush to the radiator as that will further hurt air flow...put it on the cross bars in front of the radiator so it is an inch or two in front of the radiator core

Like Steve said. If you're racing I'd recommend a trans temp gauge. Heat is the number one killer of transmissions. ..and it skyrockets when you put the trans up against the footbrake. It's gotten to the point where I let the other guy fully stage first...before I fully stage. Keeps the heat down.

I'll have to see how I can plumb that into the cooler system. Not quite sure.

20$ later

As Steve mentioned before hit those with anti-seize before they get torqued down.

[Steve Wood]

Note that I said the Nickle form of anti-seize...not the regular or the copper versions

Goodness, they are proud of that stuff.
I just get the regular grey stuff, and i'm so cheap I generally cut it with some kerosene.
What does the nickel stuff do that the copper or aluminum stuff doesn't?

or this when I was moving and couldnt find the can of the first stuff.
I also have this in my coffee can of antiseize


See how far twenty goes getting busted studs out. When better than wrastlin with it.

[Steve Wood]

survives much higher temperatures so you can get things loose easier afer it has been heat soaked for a few years

[Scoobum]

The Autometer trans temp simply has a brass tee. I just plumbed it into the rubber line for the B and M transcooler I have.
