ARP Studs

Aluminum 7/16 x 2.880" Break-Away Blower Stud Kit

Part #: 100-0601

Overview

The ARP Studs (100-0601) are high-quality aluminum fasteners designed specifically for blower and manifold applications. Engineered to enhance safety during blower failures, these studs allow the blower and manifold to separate cleanly during a blower explosion, helping to minimize potential engine damage. Ideal for performance enthusiasts and race applications, these studs provide a reliable and lightweight solution for securing your supercharger or blower components.

Constructed from aerospace-quality aluminum, these studs combine strength with reduced weight, making them suitable for high-performance setups where weight savings and durability are critical. Their anodized blue finish not only adds a sleek look but also provides corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in demanding engine bay environments.

• High-Quality Material: Made from aerospace-grade aluminum, these studs are lightweight yet durable, reducing overall engine weight and improving responsiveness.
• Break-Away Design: Engineered to allow the blower and manifold to separate during a blower explosion, helping to protect your engine from catastrophic damage.
• Precision Threading: Features 7/16 in.-20 threads with a 2.880-inch overall length, ensuring a secure fit and reliable clamping force.
• Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a blue anodized coating that resists corrosion and adds a professional appearance.
• Complete Kit: Includes 12-point aerospace-quality nuts and parallel, ground-hardened washers for optimal assembly and durability.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward installation with standard tools, making it suitable for both professional and DIY enthusiasts.
• Safety Enhancement: Provides an added layer of safety during high-boost conditions or in racing environments where blower failure is a concern.

Construction & Design

The ARP Alum Break-Away Blower Studs are meticulously crafted from aerospace-quality aluminum, ensuring they meet the demanding standards of high-performance applications. The studs feature a precision-machined 7/16 in.-20 thread pattern, compatible with most blower and manifold mounting points. The overall length of 2.880 inches provides ample engagement for secure fastening while allowing for proper clearance and fitment within your engine bay.

The anodized blue finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat, which are common in high-performance engine environments. The inclusion of ground-hardened washers and aerospace-grade nuts ensures a tight, reliable fit that maintains clamping force under extreme conditions. The design emphasizes safety, with the break-away feature allowing the blower to separate during a failure, thereby reducing the risk of engine damage and costly repairs.

Performance & Safety

While these studs do not directly increase horsepower or torque, their primary benefit lies in safety and reliability during high-stress conditions. The break-away feature is especially valuable in racing or high-boost scenarios, where blower failure can lead to severe engine damage. By allowing the blower to separate safely, these studs help protect your engine components and improve overall safety during intense driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment

Installing the ARP Alum Break-Away Blower Stud Kit is straightforward and requires standard hand tools. The studs are designed to replace existing fasteners, fitting most blower and manifold mounting points that use 7/16 in.-20 threads. No special modifications, cutting, or drilling are necessary. For optimal performance, ensure that the nuts and washers are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications, typically using a calibrated torque wrench.

It is recommended to follow proper installation procedures, including cleaning threads and applying a suitable thread lubricant if specified, to achieve the best clamping force and longevity. This kit is suitable for both street and race applications, providing a reliable fastening solution that prioritizes safety without sacrificing performance.
