Installing Turbos Gtr

[godzl1975]

not sure of the right name of the spanner...someone correct me...a flare nut spanner? to remove the water n oil lines. maybe not essential but guess better than stripping the nuts with a normal spanner.

I am probably going to start job in the next week or so. I feel alot more confident thanks everyone. I will make my own lines and i can get hold of some heat sleve stuff. One last thing, is it a big deal to adjust the actuators once the turbos are in? Im going to leave the engine in the car.

Good to hear that mate. No problem about the offer, anytime. I'll second the water and oil lines they are a pain in the ass! Very tricky to start the eye bolt without loosing the lower copper washer. Also make sure you dont cross thread them. Make sure the banjo fitting is square on the connection when you try to start the eye bolt.

PS: I also need heat sleeve stuff..lol

Never adjusted actuators as mine are stock..

Another happy ending at SAU.

Oh it is so good to see this...almost brings tears to my eyes

[Godzilla32]

Haha true. I forgot to add you need to remove the gearbox to remove the engine in the gtr...Once again, not worth the hassle for 2 measly turbos

Sometimes the actuators are set at a higher bar and you might need to after you have completed

the installation, take your front pipes off to adjust.....they only need slight adjustments up or down to get

the results you need.

Both turbos need the same boost level.

my friend removed and fitted new turbos on his car not long ago. took him 3hrs out and two hours in.

then i did the same on my car took 4hrs out 2hrs in. we both never did this before.

i thought it was gonna be a nightmare but once you start undoing a few nut n bolts its not actually as hard as

it looks.

all the tools i had was a 56pce spanner socket set and ratchet spanner set.

its a bit tricky but worth the effort if it saves money.

i will be doing soon i hope... let me no how much ur own made water and oil lines cost as ill be intereseted in these

I started removing my turbos, after a gasket leak started getting worse. So at the same time im upgrading from 32n1s to GTSS's and also replacing stock dumps. Its a prick of a job.

After owning a z32 300zx tt, working on a gtr is almost fun
