14b install?

98gstaherns · 06-13-2006

Anyone wanna help with a 14b install this weekend? I was gonna do it at a meet but it looks like it might be rained out....So if anyone wants to help that would be great! I could get some beer if that helps! lol

I need a 14b put in as well. Tomorrow though. I think I have someone to do it already though. If not I may have to throw in some money on a 12 pack or something, haha. Joking....

berda has done a couple turbo installs in the past month(all are working awesome to this day). you may want to talk to him and get some shortcuts/tips

Cool thanks!

Just pull it off and put a new one one. Keep track of what bolts go where, be careful with the oil/coolant lines when removing and take your time. Buy yourslef a beer when your done and enjoy the work you compelete. It's not hard to do, it's actually really easy. Intake, IC piping, fans (for more room if wanted) and unbolting it from the manifold. The pita is is the bolts don't want to come out or go back in right.

I heard also taking the radiator out helps too. Im just gonna drain all the oil and coolant.

Draining the oil isn't necessary. Just don't strip/break the bolt going to the head.

Well it needs a oil change..lol. So I should also take the manifold out too? Man I'm scared to do that!

I guess maybe a 2g doesn't have the feed from the head... As far as the manifold goes, if there is a stud that goes up on the turbo, you'll probably have to take the manifold off also.

The hardest part i had was taking off the lower far drivers side manifold bolt, that thing was a bitch, i finally got it buy getting a 1/4 inch 14mm and putting the socket on 1st then fandangeling the wrench into the socket hole. This was on a 1g 6 bolt with power steering (p.s. bracket in the way) I'm not putting a bolt back on it.

got ya Thanks!

With a j pipe can I put a 90 degree coupler on it to make it work with a FMIC?

blageo23 · 06-14-2006

Do you have an install kit? If not you are gonna need the oil feed and return from a 1G. The 2G oil feed will not work with a 14B(I have tried).

98gstaherns · 06-14-2006

Oh yea i got that install kit..Because I'm a pimp like that!
Also I got Turbo manifold bolts, coolant,wd40,pb balster,Oil, Oil filter, turbo..Blah i hope this goes good.

dude, its easy, just be careful when threading and unthreading the oil feed supply line bolt.

98gstaherns · 06-15-2006

Ok cool thanks!

Very good advice.

98gstaherns · 06-16-2006

So anyone wanna help out at all? I don't wanna mess this up and not have a car running..

s1ngletracker · 06-16-2006

Not to make you feel stupid or anything, but tauni pretty much did this on her own. JK.

but seriously, if you need help, i'm back on weds night of next week. You're more than welcome to come over and we can get your turbo swapped.
