You should heat it up with a torch to help the metal expand so its easier to remove. Go to kragens/autozone or any parts store and pick one up. Take the drivers side wheel off and use a breaker bar as well. Worst comes to worst youll have to pull apart your belts to get underneath your timing cover to remove the last bolt to the filter housing and take it to a machine shop to have it pulled out. Good Luck

Work out at the gym.

jk.

Some people will recommend PB Blaster, nice if you have an impact wrench, a few lbs and thats easily removed.

If you don't have access to neither, keep going at it, do what it takes.

i gave up for the day... I drenched that damm thing with PB blaster and still no budge... no impact wrench

bolted all the new stuff on, and put the car down for the day...

still waiting on my boost controller in the mail and looks like i got the wrong size 90 degree coupler to connect my j pipe and my LICP...

Just gotta connect my the two oil lines and im done

still alot of work, but that damm oil feed bolt is pissing me off

also hopefully I got my waterlines right or else i gotta take the turbo back off ahhhhhhh im tired

im not removing the housing.. I am removing the stock oil filter line feed...

You had no trouble removing your stock turbo to manifold bolts/nut?

Just be careful, last thing you wanna do is strip it. My suggestion is to take the socket with your 8mm allen and wack it with a hammer on the bolt a few times. Then get a breakerbar and use quick force.

If you end up stripping it you will have to take the housing off which is a PITA.

No problem.. I got all the bolts out within an hour!! PB BLAST was my friend

I got frustrated so I just snap the oil feed hard line to remove the stock turbo, manifold, and my evo o2 housing all at once...

Its on the verge of stripping so I stopped until i get more advice...

i know what your doing. i said that in case u strip the oil feed bolt or just cant get it off, youd have to take off the housing and take it to a machine shop

Let me get this straight...


So i should be taking out the 8mm bolt instead of the 19mm bolt???
Counterclockwise on the 8mm bolt correct?
or
Do I take out both?

I am refering to the oil filter housing. On it there are two 8mm allen head plugs, on a 7 bolt 4g63t water cooled housing the top plug is the one that needs to come out for your feedline because it is filtered and cooled oil.

You can use the lower unfiltered plug in a pinch but do you really want to run hot unfiltered oil threw the turbo? I didn't thats why I took the oil filter housing off the front case when mine stripped out .

If it already started to strip there is basically no chance you'll get it out now unless you drive the car to a welder and have them weld the allenhead socket to the 8mm bolt...then you will definitly get it and you don't have to take off the housing.

So if its stripping hookup your turbo oil feed to the unfiltered port...drive to a welder and have them weld the allen socket to the right plug then when you get home just swap em.

If your talking about the allen bolt on the right then I have not touched it. Similar pics below...

The one circled is where I am trying to put in my new SS oil feed line. This is what I want correct?

If I use the one to the right of it, then this is will feed me hot oil? Should I even bother or risk damaging the turbo if its not oil cooled?

Thanks

This is what you want to do, this is RRE's way, and thats how they did my old b16g setup, and thats the same line I used that is feeding my oil only 50 trim

This is exactly what I am trying to do, but i still have 6 inches of oil feed hard line sticking out of the bolt.

Should i just snap the whole line out all together, so that i can put a socket over that 19mm bolt and use a breaker bar?

Any other ideas...

Thanks you guys for all the help...

This is something so simple and I cant believe its becoming a headache...

I see what you talking about, sorry thought you still had the allen plug in there. Just hit sears and pickup a deepwell 19mm and hook it up to your 1/2 drive breakerbar and break that sucker lose. I'd say don't bother trying to use a shallow 19mm because its going to be way more work then driving to the hardware store.
