I bought a 2nd hand rebuilt T3/T4 Hybrid by Garrett off a friend "http://www.jshop.com.au"

anyway I need help to take the turbo off I have the head shild off and the pipes and shit off.

I need to know where to go from here as from when I look at it the screws are in shit house pos, and some seem to be blocked by the turbo.

Also some of the screws are not comming loose I guess a little CRC on them will help and a little knock with the hammer to get the rust out.

can somebody please guide me...

cheers

unscrew the oil drain clamps from underneath the turbo - that ones easy

then use a socket set to get the other 3 eye bolts off (oil in, water in/out) not much oil will come out but coolant will spew out

the water line at the top/back of the housing next to the exhaust manifold is the hardest to access, i unscrewed the 4 turbo to ex manifold bolts most of the thread so the turbo came forward a bit to give room to get a socket/ratchet back there

then i actually undid the two bolts on the flange between the front pipe and cat and took the turbo/front pipe all off like a snake out the engine bay :P did this cause the 6 bolts onto the dump looked easier to get off with more room

yeh the ones to the dump seem to snap a bit (didnt for me) but i found those 6 pretty easy cause i had the whole turbo/dump out of the car to take them off, i replaced all those studs/nuts when the new turbo went on might be a good idea (from gcg)

the 4 nuts to the ex manifold come off pretty easy with 17mm ring spanner they wont be a prob

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
