Have you got the workshop manuals? These come in very handy with this type of thing.. The problem with leaving it to the mechanics is that they can take a while to do so can be pretty costly. I spose the worse case scenario would be to have the cam timing wrong so that the valves come down when the pistons come up.. this is called crowning I think. But the workshop manual shows you where all the markings and stuff are so if you follow that you *should* be ok..

thanks mate,yeh i downloaded it of the net just then so it should all good i think ill have a go anyway?cheers by the way i got a gates belt anyone had any experinces with these belts

While changing the belt make sure u replace the studs, it's cheap insurance for less than $10. :rolleyes:

studs?ive never taken it off b4 so could u sheed some more light mate?can u buy then from any where or are they a special order and so forth

Idler/tensioner bearings should also be changed.

Along with engine seals.

Also a good time to get the radiator flushed/repaired/upgraded.

ok so i should change the cam wheel bearings and studs why im there?i think the cam wheels be fine tho as my car is only standard etc...also ive heard they are noisy,but what sort of noise is it?????good or bad?cheers

My mechanic recommended changing the water pump while in there because they have a habit of wearing away of the pump fins.

thanks for all the help fellas just wondering if i can get a few part numbers?

1.engine bearings

2.and where would i get the cam studs from are they of the shelf item,as in from any bolt shop?

3.idler tensioner bearing

4.also does everyone think i should change the water pump aswell?

cheers kane

Check the Stagea section:  SK posted a guide for RB25s and I doubt the RB20s would be much different.

Also, "Forced Induction" is the wrong forum to post in.  Try Maintenance.

You didn't get up my nose :P You're just more likely to get helpful responses in maintenance for this sort of question IMHO.

Here is the tutorial SK posted:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
