Extra bolt from clutch/stage 3 install

**RolledMySTi** · 01-25-2009 05:35 PM

I just put the motor back in place and I have a bolt that I have no clue where it goes. I wrote on the bag it was in Driver Inlet Bolt yet I have no idea what I meant by that and where it goes. I have Generationjdm's inlet pipes so there are no bolts and it's too big to be the old k03 inlet bolt. I don't have a passenger one, just driver. It's a 13mm M8 bolt. Any ideas where this goes?

The bolt that holds the bi-pipe in place right where the upper intercooler hose meets the bi-pipe. It bolts on to the plastic cam covers i think.

No. I have those and they are way smaller. Thanks for the help though. Any other ideas?

Is it flat or pointed on the threaded end? If pointed then it would have been for the air inlet pipe to the turbo.

if it's a 13mm, my guess is the bolt that holds the main coolant res hose to the block(it has a flange that bolts to the head/block to keep it from moving.).

^^ ok if it's the inlet bolt then the inlet bolts to the valve cover right? check that

It's pointed on the end has has about 1/4" of no thread on the end. The inlets I have don't require bolts so it shouldn't be that.

That's right you said 13mm so that isn't reallt that small of a bolt. only thing i can think of are the bolts that hold the bottom portion of the fender to the body of the car. there are 3 of them on each side. that's all i can come up with, hope you understood what i meant.

That was it. I am installing my clutch for the second time in a row (A long sad story that I will post about once it is all done) and that bolt was left over from last time. I didn't take them off the second time because I have generationjdm's inlets so I couldn't remember where it went. Thanks for all the help guys. I was starting to go insane with this car. I have been working on it since the day after Thanksgiving.

i believe that bolt might be from the side, when u take the bumper off and see the 2 flaps sticking out by the intercoolers. wheir the horn is right above it
