Hello, does any one know what the specs are for the bolts that connect the downpipe to the turbonetics turbo for the Dezod kit? I need to purchase two of them because apparently they fell off my car when I wasn't looking and I want to know which to buy without having to wait for the car to cool down tonight since the stores will be closed by the time I can figure it out. I obviously need the thread diameter and bolt length.

Thanks, JOE

 

damn.. I guess I will have to wait for the car to cool down, unbolt a bolt and take it to home depot.. What a pain in the ___ this is since the car is so freakin hot after driving..

Anyone know the size of this bolt?

 

8mmx1.25

 

Sweet. And now that I am thinking about it I think those might not even be the bolts that I am missing. I think I might need the bolts on the other side between the turbo and exhaust where the flange mounts to. I actually think I might even need a flange but I'll have to look at it again after work.

Are these bolts same size? I assume they would be.

Thanks again, JOE

 

Yea those were the bolts. Thanks again.

 

yeah most t3 comes with 8mmx1.25, but never use a home depot bolt they might just break or not withstand the heat.. use a some heat treated or some high grade ones at least a grade 8.. go to autozone or an industrial store or get some nice arp bolts

 

8mx1.25x20

____ that's good to know. I figured the heat would not be an issue for a bolt but I guess it does get extremely hot. I will definitely not install the bolts I just got at home depot and instead go to autozone or a similar store. Maybe home depot even has higher grade bolts, I just grabbed the standard one.

And thanks for the clarification as to 1.25"x8mmx20mm.

Indeed. You can also elect a full hardware overhaul with our hardware kit:

This includes (old picture on site) black oxide coated Grade 8 DP bolts with lock washers in it.

 

Black oxide coated bolts are the best for sure!

Some Home Depot and Lowes places sell grade 8 bolts in case you run into an emergency and need one really quick. I know they saved my butt a few times before. They have them in a bin area usually to the right of all the standard bolts and hardware.

 

and how in the hell am I supposed to tighten these bolts. What a pain in the ___. I guess my best bet for getting into those tight spots is a combination wrench? Socket wrench has no room.
