hey guys. today I ended up replacing the stock dump pipe with a 3inch stainless steel pipe. While I was in the process of removing the old pipe I accidentally snapped two of the 13mm bolts on the back of the turbo :D Thankfully It was the top two bolts so I should be able to squeeze my little pistol drill in there without removing the turbo. I was just wondering what size drill bit I'd be best off using to drill the snapped bolts out.

Ended up buying some screw extractors. I don't know if that's what an 'easy-out' is but they didn't work at all. I ended up snapping one but luckily managed to get it out of the hole i'd drilled. After getting fed up with trying to get the 2 snapped bolts out i made a few calls and ended up taking the turbo to Edsway Engineering over at coopers plains. I can't speak highly enough of the guy that works there. Not only was he on holidays and came in just for me but it only cost me $20 to extract the 2 bolts out and re-thread the holes. The addy is 20/248 musgrave rd, coopers plains for anyone interested. And is it just me or is it friggin hard to bolt the oil and coolant lines back to the turbo? I must of spent at least an hour trying to line everything up.

That totally blows

Thats pretty good for a business to do that.

I have "Rigid" brand screw extractors, never found a snapped bolt they couldn't remove, cost me a fortune for the set but they are worth it in the end of the day.

Best way to solve the problems with those oil lines? braided lines!

Yep the oil and water lines can be a bitch to put back on, hopefully you put thte copper washes back in to otherwise they will end up leaking if they already havent.Next time get some freeze spray in a can (and put it on first before you even undo any of the nuts) similar to inox/wd40 it freezes the bolt or stud so shrinking it slightly and to 'crack' (Not literally) the join, then it gets down into the thread to then act a a lube, its good guys only about $15 a can from auto places.

Hey I've just started up my car since putting the turbo back on and the new dump pipe and there seems to be a bit of steam/smoke coming from the turbo area. i got a new gasket for the turbo flange to dump pipe and just reused the gasket from the turbo to exhaust manifold as it seemed in good condition. I reconnected all the oil and water lines properly so im wondering where this smoke could be coming from? Im afraid to start it up again now

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
