I'm just curious. I have no intentions of making revisions and possibly making a better product...

IIRC, yours aren't the Guru.....pretty sure they're mazdatrix (or maybe turblown).

Edit: or does mazdatrix sell the Guru studs?

Now that this thread is back from the semi-dead, I'm considering a 10mm stud kit for my current build. Max 25 psi boost, will run 20 psi the majority of the time on 93 octane and windshield wiper fluid injection.

Based on my research the stock-sized stud kit won't really offer me much benefit. Comments?

Most likely my current one (500R). May go the billet route, but it'll probably be a long wait.

Rotaryboyz, thanks. Roen, what's the dealio ?

you could go either way as far as stock bolts or the oversized ones. just make sure you get the rotating assembly balanced and the rotors clearanced. that should make everything gravy for a long while. what seals are you going to use?

I have a 10mm kit(no machining) and I'm leaking coolant.

1. What is the (ghetto)fix exactly with the silicone/hylomar? Where exactly does it go and how much, etc.?
2. If I drop my trans to do the fix, is it safe to loosen each bolt one by one and then re-torque?

I'm also contemplating just putting the stock tension bolts back if the fix isn't guaranteed, or at the very least, if no one has had any success after attempting the fix.
