I'm taking out the gearbox of me r32, and just wondering if anybody knows the easiest way to remove the top bellhousing bolts. OMFG they are hard to get at. How many bolts are there total in the bellhousing?

By the way, whats the deal with the two piece tail shaft? I've never seen this setup b4. How strong is it?

thanx :D

The easiest way to reach the two top bellhousing bolts is to lower the rear of the gearbox as far as you can and go in from the rear of the gearbox with extra long extension for the socket. you can get a set from Super Cheap for around $30 to fit 1/2 ins drive. From memory there are 8 bolts including the starter motor + the stiffening frames between the box and block

also note that if you are planning on taking off the flywheel bolts for any reason what so ever, having the gearbox under the car at the same time could result in 12 stitches to the forearm like it did to me. right on the edge of the bellhousing. went you take it off, feel how sharp it is, you'll understand.

as for your 2 piece tailshaft, centre bearings can become a problem after time.

i got my tailshaft retubed, shortened, and made into a 1 piece for $187. had to do it for mine.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
