Threadlock

[SLOWEGG]

What kind of threadlocker would you guys recommend to use on a turbo applications. I went to autobarn and they gave me some Permatex high strength. I was looking at the descriptions and it says it only handles up to 149C, as for other ones aswell.

Will this be enough? If not what should i use?!

At work we use 'Loctite' branded threadlocker. not sure the exact one but check out their range. it is amazing stuff. Im talking about massive steam turbines, alternators and and 1000hp electric motors! If Loctite has products for these applications, surely they do for ur needs.
i dont work for loctite lol...

[SLOWEGG]

Lol thanks guys. I looked on the loctite site their automotive range is only 149C aswell. I will check out pirtek Dean.

Its for the turbo manifold.

this what u looked at??

you cant much more tolerant threadlocker than a bit over 200c. which is pretty high. it should do the job.

[SLOWEGG]

Ok thanks, I just thought manifolds is alot hotter thats all.

[supersamEK]

yeah they are..but not so much the studs or bolts. they are independant of the manifold. i cant explain it very well... mayvbe u know wat i mean

[SLOWEGG]

Lol i dont know what you mean but i will still use it =)
