Installing 16g soon. What do I all need and what should I look out for?

[-DSM2NR-]

I'm about to install a 16g onto my car but I had a couple of questions before I do this. Here, goes:

I already bought brand new 1g coolant lines and a J-pipe. Can I reuse my oil feed line and oil return lines from my 2g? I know I'll have to drill the holes on the oil return line but can I reuse my oil feed line instead of getting a ss oil line which relocates to the filter? It it really necessary to get a ss oil feed line? I'd rather save the $50 and buy a mbc instead.

Also, what gaskets should I replace?

Most people change gaskets every time they have something off, so in this case it would be the turbo to manifold gasket, O2 housing gasket, J-pipe gasket (a given). If you have your manifold off, then the manifold to head gasket.

oil lines you will have to get from a 1g, buy a plug from home depot or ace for the oil filter housing. while you are at it get the banjo bolt for the head, you are going to need it. ta lon

you have most of the basic components you need but like alex said above, make sure to replace all the of the gakets on the oil flanges.

bet of luck to you.

Thx.

I don't need 1g oil lines. I can just bend my 2g ones, can't I?

The 2g Oil line in No way will work with a 16g. The T25 Uses a small Flare fitting for the oil inlet, The 16g Requires a 12mm Banjo Bolt. You need to buy Either a factory 1G Oil feed line and 10mm Banjo Bolt to run from Head,and a 12mm Banjo bolt for the Turbo. and like above, Get a Pipe plug for the 2g oil filter housing,

Or this line is Ideal :

Runs from your Filter housing to the turbo, You can reuse your Factory 2G Water Lines and Bolts, Always replace your crush washers to ensure a water tight seal. $4.00 in crush washers will save a lot of headaches down the road.

Here is a pic and list of the gaskets you will end up needing:

That's the water lines that you're talking about; they can be bent and reused. You can reuse the oil return line if you drill new holes in it.

Ok, I guess I'll get the ss oil feed line then. Thx guys
