He had it low mounted, ive got to high mount it.

Taken all bolts off the exhaust housing except 1 (which is loose, but the oil drain fitment is in the way), but i cannot for the life of me get it off or move it to get the last bolt out and rotate it in an orderly fashion.

HELP me PLEASE!!!!!!!!

<- thats a pic there in my signature

cheers

might need to get a bit of crc onto it to loosen it up, and use a bit og gentle persistance, read lightly wack it with a hammer on the housing to seperate it from the cartridge..

before getting to angtsy with it, try using the handle of the hammer to tap it off/loose

I need to rotate my new turbo housing as well, otherwise the compressor outlet will be pointing straight up towards the bonnet on my cheapass highmount manifold. Do you have to remove the housing entirely or can you do it by twisting after using CRC on it? Also I think a rubber mallet might be a better thing to whack it with than a wooden handle, luckily I've got one of those :(

What is the optimal direction for the compressor outlet to be facing? Optimal for saving space and piping I mean, I doubt it means much to the flow efficiency. Horizontally or downwards seem to be popular directions on pics that I've seen. I think my current turbo is horizontal from memory but it's a low mount.

Jim .. the direction would be limited by where the turbo's compressor housing sits in relation to the strut tower..

if it sits forward of it, i'd run it horrizontally.

but if like mine and is next to the strut tower, you have to point in down,

shouldn't need to whack it with anything if its new, but you can always remove all the bolts and carefully remove the housing completely then replace in correct location.

Ah thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I line everything up. I dread having to remove the housing altogether, it seems like brain surgery to me to do that to a turbo! But probably better than belting it into position with a mallet.

Generally its a case of heating the exhaust housing with the oxy (no not the cutting torch) and tapping it gently and evenly away from the cartridge . A small knockometre is generally easier and I would be using a copper one given a choise .

I've had a lot of success with keeping all the bolt in but backed off about half a turn, supporting the comp cover/core in a vice (not too tight but enough to support it and prevent it spinning) then using the handle off a hammer inside the turbine inlet and levering it to break the seal (for lack of a better term). the bolts prevent it from trying to come off at an angle and damaging the turbine in the process.

Once you get it going it's pretty easy to spin it/remove it completely.

The man is correct once again. Previously used turbos from our experience, need heating to allow for the expansion of either the housing or cartridge to allow them to separate

with the new turbos, its a matter of loosening the bolts and rotating, as they have not been exposed to the heat of the manifolds and engine bay, they have not contracted in and formed a tight seal yet

I too would either use a copper, if not even better, lead

Thanks

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
