sr20det turbo loose

[lolatclint]

a couple bolts are loose on my turbo and i'm wondering how to take off the turbo because i can't get to the bolts. i took off most of the manifold bolts but i cant get to the bottom ones cause the turbos in the way. can someone give me a picture or explain the process to take off the turbo and manifold easy by steps?

thankyou! :bite:

The bottom... manifold -> head bolts? Or the turbo->manifold bolts?

Take the manifold/turbo/elbow off together - to do this, you'll remove the downpipe from the elbow (let it hang/whatever) and remove the oil and water lines from the car/turbo, and remove the 8 manifold nuts (keep the nuts and washers for re-use).

Then muscle the whole assembly off, reinstall your manifold studs with OEM locking tabs and new OEM hardware, replace any cheap gaskets with OEM metal ones, and reinstall with SS water and oil lines.

You'll love life after that.

I'll add that replacing all nuts everytime you do a turbo removal with M8x1.25mm deformed thread locking nuts(not that nylon crap) will keep things tight.

I got a bag of 50 from McMaster for ~$8 or something.
