Be Sure To Tighten Your Nozzle

dvldoc · 05-15-2005

When doing your install insure you tighten your nozzles all the way. Use a 11mm wrench it's the best way. Use locktite if you like. Remember this is going in your intake and has the potential of getting sucked down the motor.

Do not use plies, hand tightning, ect. use a socket wrench, or normal wrench to do the job correctly. Unfortuatly out of 80 kits this has happened to someone. As soon as the pump turned on the nozzle shot off.

was this a kit with a spacer, or without??

ouch. that had to hurt. I have seen a rubber IAT grommet get sucked in. not good at all

It's a 04 so no spacer. I hope he locates it and it's not down in the motor.

Not sure if you made a typo or not but I used a 12mm to tighten mine today.

Does anyone suffer from this? I had a real hard time tightening it... and I have no idea how hard I got it on there... Its scaring the poop out of me everytime I hit boost... I've boosted about 4 times..

Anyone else suffer from this? lmao... BTW My install is complete.. but I got rushed at the very end... and I broke my check valve.. so I had to take it all apart again... but I tightened the nozzle in place while the boost pipe was still on the car and now I'm scared shitless that its not on tight enough... and there is no way to check without removing the pipe again...

Think about how I feel srt....

I got the spacer, and installed a wizair intake at the same time.

To check my stuff, I gotta pull the intake (which was a nightmare to put in), then pull the TB, then pull the spacer.

It took me like 3 hours to get the spacer in today. I assume it will go much much quicker the 2nd time around. I'm probably not going to take it back apart till I get the new gaskets from ZZP. :-/

I used a SMALL dab of the teflon paste, and tightened it down, but I'm now worried that I didnt tighten it down enough.

navysrt · 05-28-2005

me too.... but I boosted at least 30+ times tonight.. held up well. I'll check it in a week or so.

you shouldn't need to take the TB off just to check to see if the nozzle is there still. Just pull the intake off, with the car off, open the TB blade manually and shine a light to see if you can see the nozzle

Oh you would know if it didn't stay on, we just need to know how tight!
Is there even a tip to this, like snug it then add 1/4 more? (example)
