I snapped some studs when removing my turbos, since I thought I had ordered a complete set of replacement studs/nuts, I told the guy who removed the broken studs for me to just clear them all.

I now realize that I've only got the 6 (5+1) smaller studs, not the 2 longer ones.
What's worse, I can't seem to find any p/n for the bigger studs in the parts fiche...

Anyone out there who replaced these studs?

Thx.

If you are speaking (writing?) about the hardware that attaches the turbos to the exhaust manifold, the two long ones are actually bolts, NOT studs. I'm preeeety sure they are N3A1-13-453A, although that lists as bolt insulator on the fiche, so you want to double check with your parts source.

I'm positive the two longer studs holding the turbos to the manifold was actually studs. My manifold looked like this when the tubos came off.

And that's not even my manifold, but another swedish FD, so I'm not alone in having the longer studs. Maybe it's an e-spec thing..

Thanks, I'll check out that p/n.

No clue, man! Those were bolts on my car, so maybe an E-spec thing. I notice your car is a 92, so maybe early production item?

Ooohh is your car an R-1? With AC? Or you put the bar on a touring? Just curious...

We didn't get the different models (R1/R2, base, touring...) in europe. The E-spec FD has twin oil-coolers, strutbar, R1 front lip, AC, sunroof, leather seats, cruise control.. the full package =)

The VIN on my FD ends with 000069, so I believe I have the 69th FD ever made.

You rock!!!

The E-Spec FD. Everything you need, nothing you don't
