26dett Turbo Fitting Procedure

[heller44]

Found this other thread ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...-R-t216074.html ) when I was looking for some information, posted a reply there before I realised where it was located, might get a bit more of a response here..

Basically, I have the originals out, the new ones all rigged up ready to go back in. I was looking at the task in front of me and wondered if it was easier to do front turbo first, then the rear one coming up from under the car?

Or is the rear first, then the front the way to go, same as removal?

i'd do oppisite of whatever you did to get them off..

i think its the rear first then front second for going back on.

what dump pipes have you go on them?

i gotta do some soon also but i think with engine out

Thanks for the reply.

Thats the way I was going to do them, but thought there may be a slightly smarter way of going about it.

The only reason I can think to take the motor out at the same time is if you want to do oil pump, crank snout mods or anything else internal.. not really worth it otherwise for a backyarder. If I was paying someone to do it then it might be different.

It wasn't all that painful to get the originals out, even with my mitts, and I hadn't done it before.

Picked up a set of old mines' dumps in stainless. Good condition as well.

This might help...

Yeah nice, i actually did mine a month or so back and it wasnt to hard at all. doing it in a backyard too

what helped was last time we put the turbos on some of the bolts wernt too tight ..

i only doing it with my motor out as i have a new motor to put back in soon....

Agree. Rear one in then the front one.

Hey mate!

Saw you read through my thread, i got mine out ok after a lot of trial and error haha. Im in the process at the moment of putting it all back on and so far so good. If you have some questions or anything you think i could answer (or have a go at answering) just yell! For the record, i got mine out front first then rear and found it to be fairly easy and i am refitting in the same manner with rear first and front second.

And there we go, decided to stick my head in the sand and do it totally different.

Threw the front turbo in, then bolted both manifolds on, slipped the rear turbo in from underneath, then bolted both turbos to manifolds.

After this worked from underneath and bolted the oil and water lines up, oil drains, and braces.

Seemed to be a lot nicer doing it this way than when I took the stockers out (the advised way), those manifold nuts and the oil and water lines on bits that had been sitting there for so many years was enough to give me major irrits.

All this work to fit new parts and I'll never get to show them off. looks damn near stock with the original heatshields back in place.

Just left to fit the rad back in, air filters and piping, then the new injectors. Only been in the shed for 5 1/2 months so far.. can't rush things.

i bolted turbos to the manifolds before install . with garret-5s. i did front then rear as well slightly different than everyone else .

not very hard to do Get a kick ass set of rachet spanners.
