2860 install

[SpiceyorangeST]

IIRC, Mountune has a bolt locking kit, because they had an issue with their turbine flange bolts backing out. Me, since I've been dealing with aviation safety wire for the last 40 years, I'd drill the bolts and safety wire them. I had a 2860 on mine and I just made sure the bolts were tight prior to installing it.

Maybe I'm wrong but the mountune fastener kit looks like it's for both the flange and the part that bolts to the manifold?

You could always put some of this on the bolts for peace of mind:

I actually did buy that stuff, still paranoid about taking those 12 points off.

I wonder if atp or garret would tell me what the torque spec on those bolts is for when I put them back on

Yeap....Just contact ATP...I have gotten Torque specs from them for my setup. Do you have a tight access torque wrench or adapter?

Never heard of a tight access torque wrench

Here is an adapter that allows you to make a tight access Torque wrench using a 3/8 Torque wrench.Great tool to add to any arsenal!

Oh wow, never seen one of those, guess I gotta get one and use it once 🙄

When you use that tool, just remember to keep the adapter 90 degrees to the torque wrench. If you don't, you could be applying more or less than the desired amount of torque. See the link below.

You mean like how he has the wrench pictured in the above post?

Yes. If the end of the adapter, in this case, the box end of a wrench is more towards the top of the torque wrench, the force applied will be more than the torque desired. If the box end of the wrench is more towards the butt of the torque wrench handle, the force applied will be less than the required torque.

They replied to my email, 19.5 ft/lbs if anyone is curious

So I assume it's normal to lose a bunch of coolant when you take the hoses of like the instructions say?

 

[haste]

Yeah, you lose some. Maybe between a quart and half gallon

 

[SpiceyorangeST]

So I'm pretty sure it's impossible to take two of the five flange bolts out

 

[haste]

You just need a 12pt crows foot

 

[SpiceyorangeST]

Well that didn't work. Giving up on those two bolts. Hope I won't need to take the turbo out if they do come loose.

 

[haste]

Grind the tool down to fit. You could probably grind down a regular box end wrench if you really want to tighten those down.

Or an offset box end wrench.

I know I have posted this somewhere but a couple of notes for the GTX2860 install (specifically the downpipe adapter).

You will have to shave down a wrench to tighten those bolts as others have said. I put the end of another box end wrench on the smaller wrench to get more leverage and tighten them down real good (they love to come loose).

@TyphoonFiST recommended this on another thread and I also recommend it because these bolts love to come loose: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XW2ZTZL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One more thing, the downpipe adapter bolts love to come loose,

Hate to literally sound like a broken record but these bolts coming loose over and over was the nail in the coffin for me getting rid of the GTX turbo on my car. I disliked the turbo lag but think I would have dealt with it for awhile longer if the bolts didn't keep coming lose. Before I sold the turbo, I actually shipped it back to ATP for inspection and had them reinstall the downpipe adapter because I couldn't live with myself selling the turbo without having the downpipe adapter mounted again by the manufacturer (since nothing I tried would keep them from coming loose every 5k miles or so).

 

[TyphoonFiST]

The tension from the Lockwasher should not allow these to come loose. But if your set on tightening them....custom design that tool.
