Manifold Joints

BD manifolds use precision, tight tolerance, slip fit expansion joints. These joints reduce stress from thermal expansion and contraction in use. This relieves stress in both the manifold and engine head. Please note this type of joint will slide by hand allowing a simple and easy installation.

How does this joint seal? The internal section is closer to the high temperature exhaust gasses, this heat expands the internal section of the joint more than the larger external section which is cooled by its surroundings. The slip fit then fully seals as soon as EGTs are above 100-200 Deg F.

Options

ATTENTION!

THE HIGH TEMP PAINT WILL NEED AT LEAST ONE HEAT CYCLE TO FULLY CURE. UNTIL THEN, THE PAINT MAY BE SOMEWHAT SOFT.

TO HEAT CYCLE THE MANIFOLD, ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO IDLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, AND THEN LET THE MANIFOLD COOL TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE.

SCRAPE OFF ANY EXCESS PAINT ON THE GASKET MATING SURFACES. A THIN COAT WILL NOT AFFECT THE SEALING PROPERTIES.

Installation

Disconnect both battery ground cables.

Remove the intake air hose from the front of the turbo and set to the side. You can also remove the air box to aid in additional room.

Remove the V-band clamp that connects the turbo elbow casting to the exhaust down pipe.

Disconnect the compressor outlet boot.

Disconnect the turbo oil supply and the turbo oil drain.

Using a cutoff wheel, cut the coolant line support bracket about 1-1.5” from the coolant tube. Leave enough material to re-connect the new supplied bracket to this tab.

This technique should save you approximately 1 hour of installation time and eliminate the need to drain the coolant.

Remove the factory heat shield that covers the front of the manifold.

Remove the factory manifold and turbo assembly. Be sure to save the OE bolts and spacers as you will be reusing them.

Once the factory manifold is removed, clean the head surface of any carbon or soot build up.

With the manifold and turbo assembly on the bench, remove the turbo.

Remove the factory studs from the OEM manifold and discard them. Place the provided M10 x 1.5 x 30mm (1462430) studs into the manifold.

Remove factory studs from the turbo and discard. Install the provided M10 x 1.5 x 25mm (1462431) studs into the turbo.

Re-install the turbo with a new gasket onto the manifold (gasket is directionless), using the supplied M10-1.5 nuts. (1462441)

Turbo Torque spec: 32 lbs-ft
Important! Incorrect turbo torque can lead to flange leak and gasket failure.

With the whole assembly tight, re-install it to the engine.

Be sure to install a new gasket for each cylinder. It does not matter which way the ridge on the gasket faces.

Torque the bolts to 35 lbs-ft.

Note that you may need to align the front or rear manifold to match the threaded holes on the cylinder head. You can use a rubber mallet to do this.

When installing the lower bolt to cylinder #5, discard the factory bolt and spacer. Place theipe bracket against the manifold and install the M10 SS socket head bolt (1405981) and the M10 Washer (1405982) to secure the bracket and the manifold to the head.

Before tightening the bolt, line up the bracket to the OEM coolant pipe tab that you cut earlier.

Torque the bolt to 35 lbs-ft.

Note: On 2006 model year vehicles, you will need to secure the bracket to cylinder # 6.

You now have the option to drill a hole through the OEM coolant pipe tab and secure the brackets together using the ¼ bolt (1100110), ¼” flat washer (1100111), ¼” lock washer (1100112), and the ¼” nut (1100113) supplied. Use a 5/16” drill bit to accomplish this.

Or, you can spot weld the bracket and the OEM coolant pipe tab together.

If you choose to weld, be sure to paint the weld after.

Once that is secure, you can now reconnect the V-band clamps from the exhaust pipe to the turbo exhaust elbow and the compressor outlet.

Reconnect the turbo oil drain and oil supply.

Reconnect the air inlet pipe to the front of the turbo and re-install the air box if you had removed it.
