Don't worry about the block looking orange, doesn't matter. Clean it off and spray it black if you want.

It's a giant pita if you have to remove the manifold more than once. Also don't use studs in the turbine housing to dump. I've seen custom exhausts made with dump studs installed and you literally can't remove the dump without removing the turbo.

I like the look of it, and I don't expect to remove the manifold after this any time soon so I'm willing to go through the pita stuff if I need to later on. As for the dump, no way I'm going to studs, factory bolts I remove are perfectly fine for now Seems like my way forward from here is to going to be purchasing a pulsar 3582 supercore instead of the chra. It's $200 more and looks wayyyyy tougher.

I have posted in a perth based FB group asking if anyone has had any experience or can provide a review on the Dominator Motorsports head studs. Here is my reasoning behind the kit. They are around $200 cheaper than ARPs I'm not going to be pushing super high boost They will just be a piece of mind upgrade over stock studs I got the classic response "poor man pays twice" on this question which is not very helpful. While it is true in some cases, I also do not like wasting money on things I do not need. So, if the DM set is just as good as the ARP set, then I'm already doing better than the stock studs. That savings in money can go towards the turbo. However, if there is nothing good to say about the DM set, the obviously I wouldn't go with them. So, I will ask on this forum instead, and maybe get a bit more clear answers on this topic. Has anyone used or had experience with Dominator Motorsports 12mm head stud kit? https://www.dominatormotorsports.com.au/product/dominator-ford-barra-12mm-head-stud-kit-220000psi/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96074-the-dailys-quest-for-310kw/page/10/#findComment-1710143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with them as long as they're confirmed to be rated to that specification and metallurgy. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96074-the-dailys-quest-for-310kw/page/10/#findComment-1710144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolts were tack welded to stop them coming loose but that also made it harder to remove. I now need to get replacement bolts 🤣 Anyway, that's not the worst thing about this situation, 3 of the bolt holes on the rear housing are cracked right through! Was hoping to use this housing because it was already setup for a wastegate 😢 I have another rear housing that I cleaned up to basically look brand new, it has the flap already welded so all that needs to be done is for the elbow at the top to be welded on and the wg flange. Just another thing I have to pay for that I didn't really wanna do lol. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96074-the-dailys-quest-for-310kw/page/10/#findComment-1710349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit is $20, and the genuine stuff from ebay US is like $50... not including shipping.
