I need Bolts to hold on my J-pipe....

[Big Bald]

My kit did not come with any.....anyone know what size i need and where i can get them from. I have the SBR 2g install kit and for some reason no bolts were included. I want to put this on today so i am hoping i can hit up home depot or lowes for these bolts. Thanks in advance....

err sorry man i dont know.

but if you decide to lose your oil return line bolts i know those thread sizes :laugh: 2 6mm x 1.0mm x 16mm and 2 6mm x 1.0 mm x 20mm

good luck and have fun. its not hard

 

[blcknspo0ln]

oh, this might seem weird.. but bring the turbo with you.

i open packages all the time and try the nuts and bolts before i buy them. my guess is that they're 8mm..

 

[Big Bald]

that is actually the route i might take....I am just hoping that someone can make this an easier affair.......

Hehe...
Were dsm'ers... We thrive to make stuff hard!

Also Don't forget to pickup a spare 14mm socket, just for good measure cause I loose about 2 a month.

Find some bolts laying around, and try to thread them in (see if they're the same size.) This is what I did, but I also had a lot of bolts laying around .

But anyways, I think it's the same threading as the bolts that hold the fender on, as well as many other bolts, that have the "4" on top. I don't know the size threading though. Sorry.

I actually have a bunch of those laying around. Looks like i should have fun with my first turbo install.....

The SBR kit doesn't include the 2 bolts you need for the oil return line either. So just bring the 16g to a auto store to look for those bolts.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

no no no i KNOW the thread sizes for the oil return line bolts!!!

2 6mm x 1mm x 16mm
2 6mm x 1mm x 20mm

the shorter ones go into the turbo.

BAM! [ trust me it took me 2 days to find these bolts haha ] oh and please for the love of god dont overtorque them. just make sure they're snug and THATS IT!!!

 

[Big Bald]

I got the bolts from Lowe's......they are 8mm for futrue reference......

HA! called the 8mm!!!

This was the most intense thing i have ever done on a car. Took quite a few hours but was worth all the time in the end. NOw this weekend I have the pleasure of installing my Walboro 255 Fuel pump, which i also hear is a joy......

 

[LifIsPeachy02]

its not to bad don't worry about it. The hardest part was getting the flare nuts loose on the line. I didn't take them loose and my car an grandpa got a gas bath. If u don't remove them be ready with a bucket when u pull the pump out, and it comes out with some force. Just follow the Vfaq and u will be fine. Pretty simple straight forward install.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

VFAQ is THE dsm bible haha. as far as the fuel pump install goes it's VERY easy. took me and a friend 1/2 hour tops. i dont suggest loosening the lock nut up in the cabin of the car. rather, just get out and jack the car up and you'll see the other lock nut. it's MUCH easier to take off. after that the install was a breeze. [ you'll see once you check vfaq.com [
