nazzurro19 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 wahooo lines turned up today just a quick questionthe 3 bolts in the middle where do they go ? are the bigger two to go in each of the bolts of the water lines or do they go in the bare ended side?and also does the smaller one bolt on to the end of the oil feed and one other question (sorry to be retarded but i want it all good no leaks etc)here on my wastegate ive put the vacumn thigs in and they are now like solid and feel like if i tighten it up anymore it will snap , should the thred be 100% covered or is this ok!

iamlegend Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 1. correct the bits screw on to the water braided line and the other connects to the water lines on the block. the one in the middle seems to be the oil side,just try it and see what fits tbh...2. hmm should be screwed all the way down i would of thought so well it was on mine since its to do with your boost. you running a EBC or running it from the spring??

nazzurro19 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 problem sorted hopefully , managed to get some 3/8 bsp oil hose or something which is pretty flexible to use as my oil return *** small update time ***after seeing the freshly painted rear end of stevegt i decided to do it aswell 1) this is how i originally had it - all carpeted upwhich after removing left a shiteload of glue so out came the sandpaper , steam washer n all sorts to try sort out this issue, 6 hours later and a couple of cuts n blisters and lots of dust i was finally ready to paint it (halfrauds 5L hammerite on offer half price £9.99) white this is only the first coat , and had a couple of brush marks etc but i wanted to use it is a base layer n from now on ill be using an applicator pad n sponge roller to tartit up , i think it looks pretty damn awesome2) also today i decided to heatwrap my decat and mani fold was easy doing the decat but manifold sucks !! i did my best but some runners were welded together (hense the gaps lol!) but it will dobeforeafterand lastly some bad news im working the next 7 weekends so car is now put back nearly 2 months Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Really like the way this is looking now man! but i wouldnt reccomend wrapping the mani like that... it will get VERY hot and the gaps inbeetween the heatwrap can get stressed, its usually just stainless that does it but i dont think its a good idea on that either tbh, just wrap everything after the mani if you cant do it properly Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 ahhh man that took me ages aswell lol ! ok ill remove it all nevermind eh lol Link to post Share on other sites

nazzurro19 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 ill have to if poss reuse that wrap or i aint got much left lol now next problem the bolt behind the gunk keeps coming loose every 50-100 miles so every week im having to take the wheel off take the cover off do up the bolt a little drive rinse n repeat can anyone suggest y this is happening?i dont like leaving it as it makes the wheel wobble etc and then the disc makes a grinding noise when its starting to come loose?it has the split pin in etc Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 ro55ifumi has wrapped his ramhorn mani really nicely, have a look at how he did it just had a look the only thing is i was thinking of wrapping each side together but r055ifumis is equal on both side where as mine aint so some areas would hav a gap between the runners would that matter ? if ya look in the pic i just drew the red arrows show the gaps between the runners so it mean as the gap is bigger/smaller in some ares surly this would also cause stress ?

Amjad Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I think if you wrap it all uniformly leaving no gaps, it should be okay, even if the spaces between the runners are different Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The driveshaft nuts need to be tight, are you using a power bar to tighten them? Need as much leverage as possible.And as for the mani I would wrap around the 2 runners each side rather than individually Link to post Share on other sites
