Ive actually seen people safety wire the bolts for that area in off road situations… also you can use locking header bolts like these instead of stage 8’s ![http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/700/760/760-2xxxx.jpg](http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/700/760/760-2xxxx.jpg) ---

i had to use a locking bolt on my turbo for the same reason, even with locktite the bolt would back out. ---

The Loctite didn’t work. I said we’d have to use lockwashers, but the car was sold before we could put them in. ---

Jegs, search for locking header bolts, lots of solutions ---

I just need the exact bolt size… Then I’ll get some ones with a hole on top to safety wire them. ---

Got all 4 bolts from precision turbo today. I’m going to use loctite 290 for a hold. If they ever start backing out I’ll get something better. It’s strong to 200\* Celcius Loctite 290 is that kind of loctite you use if you never intend on taking that bolt out again though… ![http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae134/alexsobo91/20090709112722.jpg](http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae134/alexsobo91/20090709112722.jpg) ---

What are the specs on the bolt? I would measure it before you put it in, in case you need to buy some safety wire bolts: ![http://www.mcmaster.com/param/images/cap/drilledhead.gif](http://www.mcmaster.com/param/images/cap/drilledhead.gif) ---

I dont think you need to go crazy on these bolts. I have the same turbo and have never had any issues with those bolts or on any other turbo Ive owned for that matter. Loctite will just burn up. I would get the torque specs from precision though, I think that helps the most. I use my small torque wrench and crows foot adapters. Its better than guessing. ---

Well, these bolt into the compressor housing back plate so it shouldn’t be all that hot. I plan on getting saftey wired bolts eventually, but for now I’ll do this and check my bolts often. ---

I’ve also never had an issue with these bolts. I just hand-tight them and roll. They’ve never been loose on any of my turbos. ---

Yeahhh but I think the real issue is that hondas rev stupid high and the vibrations are much greater than something as smooth revving as a vw or audi. Hence why some people have to constantly retighten downpipe bolts and even sometimes header bolts on hondas. ---

Unless you’re using torque wrench specific crow’s feet, or adjusting your torque value, your measured torque value is no better than a guess… ---

you can always just get a safety wire jig, and drill your own holes in them ![http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/L/3747.JPG](http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/L/3747.JPG) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-think-someone-forgot-some-loctite/69827.md?page=1)
