Maybe. Post it over on the DSTA board to remind me.

It all depends on how many bolts I break getting my old turbo off...

[92_eclipse_GS]

i kno how that is man

[92TSIAWDPOTTER]

Yeah it was checked for warpage by the guy who i bought off of and it was fine. Its almost completly put back together except the vavle cover and some lines. Will be running tomorrow.

Greatest feeling ever.

Also, usually the greatest letdown ever. Amirite?

[Nekoni]

I'd post it over at DSTA if I could get my password fixed.

[cmspaz]

I'll let Matt know. Is the "forgot password" link busted or something?

Also, so far so good on getting the turbo off. Only one heatshield bolt left, and the rest came out without a hitch... The manifold and turbo aren't too rusty from what I can see, so I shouldn't have any issues from here.

Famous Last Words.

also, Nekoni, i sent you a PM

[92_eclipse_GS]

hey if anyone knows anyone who wants to get rid of a 4g63T
let me kno looking to do the swap

[92TSIAWDPOTTER]

yes you are i found out i ended up some how ruining an injector and replaced all four of the with some 2Gs i got for $50 and then started it and had an oil leak. Found out it was coming out my turbo oil inlet banjo bolt being loose or at least i thought. my bolt was stressed and i tried to tighten it and it broke so now i get the enjoyable adventure of tracking a banjo bolt down. And with less than a week till i leave for wyotech it looks like i might be s.o.l for driving my car there.

[redleader36]

i will look around for a banjo bolt for you. you said it is the feed bolt on the top of the turbo?

also, good job with the 2g injectors. they have 2 nozzles and atomize fuel a bit better than the single nozzle 1g injectors.

[92_eclipse_GS]

i might have to do that upgrade and ill keep my eye out for a banjo bolt

I don't know if it is really that big of an upgrade. i am sure you will not notice a difference. it is just a tiny difference.

[92TSIAWDPOTTER]

Well i just took the banjo bolt from my buddies car thats sitting in my yard. i will order a new one from mitsu and give him that i just dont have time to wait for it to get here. i took my cat off cause it was ratteling so i though i would have to clean it but it turns out there was a 1/2 drive 22mm socket that was in my cat. Now when i get it back on there, hopefully, i all have to do is time it with a light.

[redleader36]

22mm, huh? is there anything 22mm on our cars? what size is the oil drain and the banjo bolts?
lol
good luck on the rest of it. you will love it at wyotech. there are so many nice dsms out there. i have had quite a few friends go to wyotech.

And leave it to the guy who's been working in this area on his car... as far as I can tell, all of the oil stuff is 10mm.

The largest bolts I've encountered have been on the exhaust, and they're all 19mm.

[92_eclipse_GS]

the bolts that hold the lap belt winder thing on under the center compartment are the biggest bolts on the car
i had to buy a bit ### i lost mine lol

[redleader36]

well, i found lower controll arm ball joint, rear differential mount, alternator wheel nut, crankshaft bolt, and o2 sensor are all 22mm. and that isnt even going into the transmission yet.

not that it really matters

and yes i am bored.

[92_eclipse_GS]

hah well ive never touched any of those things
luckily

[redleader36]

i admit i have never taken an alternator apart or dropped the differential. the others i have touched. my brother and i did the alignment on my car, so i have had to tweak the lca's.

[92_eclipse_GS]

well ive put in a new alternator but thats about the farthest i went on that one

anyone wanna find me a tcu and sell it to me cheap
