666DAN Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Almost there......so annoying attempting to do the car around shift work. Mazda threw in one more awesome trick. The turbo has a nice little support underneath (must be because the turbo is so massive *cough*) so I need a 300mm extension bar so I can undo the 12mm bolt holding it in place. The exhaust and front transmission is well placed to make it even harder to manage. Then all the new stuffs can go on!

Welcome to the world of modding where you will most likely have to buy special tools (or make your own) to carry out your turbo upgrade. Also, Is labdirect.com.au one of your direct competitors?

MagicMikeZ32 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What do you need courage for Pete? Just have a big skull of scotch or something... No harder job than timing belt right?

sneakey pete Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What do you need courage for Pete? Just have a big skull of scotch or something... No harder job than timing belt right? Or am I missing something? I'm actually trying to figure out if i need to take off the timing belt completely, or just undo the gears and put the new ones in in place, (assuming the timing belt etc is brand new, that's another thing) or if that's going to mess up the tension on the belt. Long story short i don't have the tools to remove the harmonic balancer.

MagicMikeZ32 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pulley puller, cheap as Without knowing rb's specifically, I would say it will be faster and easier to pull the belt etc, do the gears and then chuck it back together Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/682/#findComment-7199016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakey pete Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pretty sure i might aswell drop the radiator to make things simpler.

MagicMikeZ32 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I doubt you will get enough slack in the belt to change the pulleys without removing it?

sneakey pete Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Indeed, need to do the full Monty on it, perhaps even drop the radiator out too due to this one being stupidly thick. Not going to do it today though as I want the car tonight+on the weekend, its a Monday job.
