Ok so i have an s14 notchtop sr in my s13, im trying to remove the turbo to replace the turbo inlet gasket, i got the bolts off the manifold and the downpipe, what else do i need to unbolt? And also what washers and bolts do i need to hold onto to swap in the stainless stell lines since mine didnt come with new ones? Thanks
 
remove the dump pipe
so it will pass steering coloum
remove bolt on oil dipstick so its not in the way
also the 3 bolt compressor inlet
 
Just got off the turbo and on the inlet gasket there were only three nuts that were all loose anything i can get at home depot for a better nut to hold better??
 
OEM NUTS should work fine.. Every time you remove the turbo you should replace the LOCKING PLATES with NEW ones..

As Big Mike said, that should solve the issue.

Edit: Big Mike beat me to it, lol.

So yeah, locking plates.
 
Yeah i got new locking plates but im missing to nuts since they rotated all the way off, and whats the proper way to putting on the new tabs?
 
ACE HARDWARE - take manifold match up with new stainless nuts - put on said nuts and torqe properly - bend locking plate tab onto flat side of nut thus locking it in place - install new turbo - pat self on back - praise BiG MiKE

maybe throw some lock washers on there if ur feeling crazy as well
 
Ok got everything on i used the lock plates people! Butttt now the final step everything is cleaned up and new parts swapped on now i just gotta throw on the stainless lines, do the 90 degree bends go to the block or the turbo??
 
90's go on the turbo - well u have an S14 SR so u need a line with 2 90deg bends which goes from inside of turbo to water neck, outside of turbo (90deg) to block (straight fitting), the oil feed and oil drain are self explanitory

Had to use an after market 90 deg adapter since my lines didnt come with 2 90deg fittings on 1 line

Hard to see but maybe you get the idea
