Hey all

Any one got tips on what they learnt from removing engine parts to get to the turbo any help full tips hints

can you pass them my way,

blow my oil rings on the turbo FUN FUN

THanks

mate start by taking all the hoses, intercooler pipes off and vacuum lines then you can see the thing then take ya exhaust off then oil water lines then unbolt ya flang and walla ya got a turbo out. you got it easy i tell ya know ya should try doing it in a rb26 dam....

good chance you'll have to replace some bolts,they're old.

can of WD40 helps. not just 1 type of spanner,use open end,ring,socket spanners and also a socket set with

some extension bars may help.

i found i needed like 2 different spaners just to work 1 bolt from the dump-turbo.

its like a puzzle,can only go together 1 way so you cant really stuff it up.

goodluck

One tip if you have the stock dump pipe; unbolt the dump pipe from the front pipe and leave the dump pipe connected to the turbo. Then remove the turbo and dump together as one part and unbolt the dump from the turbo out of the car. Just seemed to make life easier instead of fumbling around undoing the nuts at the back of the dump.

;) Thanks all for the tips :D

i now have the turbo out and now to replace it. :)

is there any thing i should replace on the motor that are easyer to replace now that i have the turbo out

thanks once again for your input champs :)

** what do people think of vg30 turbo**

or what other turbo that good to put on my rb20

not looking to of the range just pulling 200kw for a year or so then a Rb25 conv will be done

I'm running an rb25 nylon wheel turbo on my 20 @ just under 1bar, starts spooling around 2000rpm'ish.. full boost by 3600ish, thats with cam gears also.

Great midrange with basically fark all lag! pulls hard enough to around ~6500-6800rpm.

Great upgrade for a direct, no stuffing around, bolt on.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
