(all fixed now) he took the car back in to fix the blowing exhaust. Got it back, after a further 7weeks in garage and it's started blowing again. It's where the manifold joins the head. I don't knowing if its a stripped stud hole or what but it's getting really annoying as this will be the third attempt to fix it. maybe even take a 14mm socket to each of them, see if any are loose or missing.(just remove ic pipe and heatshield to get enough the room). Checked them the other night. Gasket, I'm not sure. My mechanic got it. Take it it will need replaced now its blowing? Best place to get a Toyota one? daviefoster9773 wrote:Thanks for reply.
They seemed tight.
Thanks.
it will need replacing. Ironically the one that was on there when you got the engine was a brand new Toyota one if I remember correctly. ive had a few tubular manifolds and they were rubbish so ive gone back to stock. yo u need to make sure your manifold is flat cause they can warp , you have to buy a genuine gasket and new egg shaped nuts and make sure the turbos bolted on and the supporting bracket. if I knew where demon motorsports were id throw a brick through their window. ... chocks ahoy!- also, 3 snapped studs! This was about 5 years ago and all is still well. ..androo007 wrote:Here you go.
