Has anyone tried the fullrace.com Inconel stud kits, either the 8mm or 10mm ones? At $50 it looks like a good deal for inconel studs.

I am looking to use a set of 8mm on my MSM turbo install. I have all kinds of good stuff about fullrace products in general, but not too many details on these inconel studs.

That is what I was wondering as well. A286 is not an alloy I am familiar with. My only option is the FM 8mm kit then, the MSM flanges do not have enough room to drill out to 10mm.

One of the guys out at CMP last month with an MSM had the FM Inconol studs and he has not had any issues with them yet on track. He was breaking the stock studs out on the track, which is what caused him to switch.

Hey, that's me.
M10x1.5 kits in stock, with Stage 8 lockers (the only thing that works) and Resbond (absolutely required).

DO it with TSE - you WON'T regret it! Had my first nut-wrenching-free track day after installing TSE's kit - freakin awesome not having to **** with low boost, broken studs, and hot cracked manifolds (props to ARTech there on the manifold)

Inconel is a trade name like Klenex or Teflon. A286 is not Inconel and based on a quick look at the spec sheet, Inconel 718 (I think that's what FM/TSE use?) looks like a superior material for exhaust manifold studs.

At the end of the day the TSE studs are the only ones that have been tested on the track and who testing them has been stated. I am also sure Savington could get you lap times to if you asked nicely. Begi or FM has not released that info at all.

If I were them I'd keep that information proprietary also. Too many copiers that don't know how to research materials out there (see Full-Race
