Set it in there gently

I want to use permanent high heat loctight on the studs for my turbo but it's only good up to 450 degrees. What else could I use? Besides jb weld. That's my last option lol

Nickel antiseize on the nuts, I'm assuming this is so the studs don't screw out with the nuts?

So the studs don't screw out of the manifold, I have studs holding the turbo on.

question about tail lights

tail lights wont turn on at night/when headlights are on

brake lights work, bulbs appear ok

any insight or point me in the right direction, what should i be looking at

thanks

Do the tail lights turn on with just the marker lights on?

Quick question, am I reading this right?

AC fan #3 shuts OFF, with the headlights ON? If so, why? Simply to not overload the charging system, or another reason?

I might be missing something myself. Or they just don't show the full circuit and the missing half of the diode. Assuming they just don't give the whole picture on the headlight circuit, like the red wire coming from the relay, then the headlight switch completes the ground circuit. I am pretty sure my fan turns on whether headlights are on or not.

This is what I went with. Resbond. Good up to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit

Would this make my car run like crap? That line has always had a slow leak but now the clamp broke and is spitting coolant everywhere. My car started running terrible and when i popped the hood I saw this.

The coolant leaking into the spark plug valley will short the plug wires and cause the spark plug to not fire...

Makes sense. But I didn't think about that because when I first got this car the front portion of the valley was completely filled with coolant and it ran perfectly fine. So I figured a little bit of coolant down there wouldn't effect it this bad.

That was the problem suprasick. I should have checked that first. It was pooled up waaayyy more than I thought it'd be. It was flooded from front to back

does anyone know if the egr system on na's and turbo's are the same?

thanks

Also, get rid of the green coolant and go buy Toyota Red coolant. Expensive but worth it

Yea, I've been hearing a lot about that Toyota red vs regular green. My car had green when I bought it. I'd ask what the difference is but I can probably find everything I need to know and more if I searched.

Good to hear that fixed your problem. It happens to a lot of people when they try to wash their engine bay and spray down the engine.
