i cant seem to figure out how to get to the other line that bolts to the motor, im swaping my turbo to a gt2871r and ive got everything disconnected except that line.. i think its the coolant feed but im not sure i have the two lines next to the turbo unbolted the top was a coolant and the bottom was oil i also disconnected the drain on the bottom i can see the other line that runs behind the motor but and see where it really bolts on any one wanna give me a tip on how to get to it pics would be nice please...its the last thing till i drop in the big boy and im getting a lil excited :squintd:

haha, that one's always a bitch, basically if you haven't already done so you need to take off your oil catch can, then look in your tool box for some long needle nose pliers and a flashlight lol. then take the clamp off the hose, push the hose back with the tip or your needle nose, and pull the steal line towards you...once you go back together with it, i recommend extending that rubber hose, so it's easier to do the next go round. the only other way is to try to unbolt the line from the back side of the turbo, i've never had to do that though while on the car and i don't know if you can even get to it unless you unbolt the manifold and slide it away from the head to get enough room. gl =]

remember ... after you take it off you might as well upgrade to s14 ss turbo lines and s14 water outlet pipe. It makes life so much easier when it comes to swapping turbos on your SR.
