Whats wrong with my KA-T I used zip ties and everything.

[S13FX]

So Im having this problem. I finally super glued my injectors to my engine and zip tied my turbo to the exhaust manifold and I know it's secure, I even have the oil line on there. And I installed this computer thing for tuning yet when i turn my car on the turbo seems to fall off and I have no power gain at all. SOME ONE PLEAZE HELP.

Are you drunk?

It's too early for that

[WDRacing]

Ur an idiot. Did you use the black high temp zip ties or those cheap ones from Harbor Freight? The high temp ones are almost as good as welding the flange right to the manifold. Also, Gorilla glue is better then super glue. Super glue becomes to brittle and will crack, Gorilla glue is some what pliable, I'd swap them out.

PS, tell ur Mom I said thanks for the cookies

[S13FX]

hmm good point I think we might have to sticky this thread once we get some more input.

Also mom says sorry if she used too much mushrooms.

[WDRacing]

Never enough shrooms bro...

[S13FX]

Oh yah one more thing I used some synthetic E85 and now my car idles weird. I thought people are using E85 and are putting some good numbers. And I hooked up my boost gauge to my ecu and for some reason it's not reading any boost. But then I didn't get to get on it yet cause the stupid turbo keeps falling off.

[crzycav86]

i don't know what your problem is.

my ziptied turbo and taped IC plumbing have been holding boost for almost 2 years now.

[WDRacing]

That is the BEST pic I've ever seen...you rock my friend.

[S13FX]

Ok where in the world did you get those zip ties and what brand are they. Cause I really need some, and WD thanks for the info on the gorilla glue I will go and pick some up today and see how that goes. Hopefully by tonight I should put down around 1000awh on my ka-t.

[nissan4ever66]

hehe I need to come back home from Ky and really help you out again cuz you for got how to work on car we'll get some gorilla glue and work all night and make sure that turbo stays : )

[frsh13]

O ****, u think that Gorilla glue will fix my boost creep if I squirt some into my turbo????

Gorilla Boost FTW!

[WDRacing]

[1995240sxSE]

[Florida240sx]

Double Bubble Gum FTW Electricl tape works well.

[redtop91]

This is confusing.

You're one of only two people I know who actually still have the dizzy cover.

[S13FX]

Well now you know three cause I have mine too

[hannibal]

You should have used the only thing better than zipties... duct tape!

[Florida240sx]

Camo duct tape

[97s14guy]

Great

Camo duct tape

Don't forget if u break a tail light to get that clear red tape.. makes everything look better than new!

[s13rb25det]

is this thread for real? are you really using zipties? I am confused

[S13FX]

Ok SO I go some heavy duty zip ties and I used some gorrila glue, and some synthetic E85 and my car seems to idle and everything a lot better now. Im gonna do some more pulls on the highway I hope the damn turbo doesn't fall off again. I also relocated my waste gate to my intake manifold, lets hope that helps out the boost creep .

[Dammitboy]

No,No,No, when will you people learn. For durability's sake you CANNOT get by with heavy duty plastic zip ties. 321 stainless steel zip ties have proven time & time again to be the winner.

Now what do I use to hold my catepillar diesel turbo in place, Inconel zipties FTW!

[bige240]

This thread makes me wanna **** my pants....zip ties to hold on a turbo and super glue to seal injectors....where the f--- do you people get these ideas??? You should sell your car right now to someone who knows wtf they are doing

[WDRacing]

WTF are you talking about, I've been using High Temp zip ties for years now...maybe you should sell your car.

[hannibal]

Its not as bad as using speaker wire for tow straps...

[WDRacing]

No, but I have used an extension cord
