im gettin my turbo kit tuesday night and bringing all my tools home from work tuesday im a B level tech at a local shop out here and ive been doin it for 5yrs im just wondering how hard is the install and how the oiling system for the turbo works on it and such

No one ?

 

It should be easy. That kit should bolt right up. Ive personally have never turbo'd a car but i have been around it. Expect a few minor problems but all in all it should be easy. With the oil drain/feed you will have to drill and tap the oil pan for the return line and the feed line (I know for the lsj and most likely the 2.4) will use an existing plug with a new fitting for the feed line. Good luck and have fun.

 

Bump

 

Bump for what? What do you need to know? Anything specific? It might help get some answers.

 

hardest part is the oil lines. everything else is just time consuming.

 

im sure the company you got the kit from would be helpful to answer any questions for you.... if not then dont buy from them IMO

 

There sayin to remove the oil pan and weld a bung on I'm just wondering how everyone else does it cus I don't have a tig welder to weld aluminum

 

You dont need to weld it, im sure you need to remove the oil pan though, but only should have to drill and tap it for threads.

 

Ya that's what I was thinking

 

And that's why I got the no tap

 

the no tap?

 

Yes the Hahn no tap, and the zzp kit is like setting up the front mount on an SS/SC with there water to air

 

if your not tapping anything, where is the oil coming from and where is it going after the turbo?

 

Really? LOL back on topix

 

So I guess Ima have to drop the pan and have it welded up can u get the pan out without droping the subframe ?

 

i took mine in and got it welded, and capped. so when i installed the lines i just removed it and went.

 

Could u get the pan out without dropping the subframe ?

 

lol u dont have to drop the frame lol. taking the pan off is like a 10 min job if the car is cool

 

Kk just making sure cus the subframe goes under that corner of it

 

angle and pull

 

Ha kk then there's a Alen bolt u take outa the back of the head for the feed correct ?

 

yes.. mine was stripped for some odd reason and wouldnt come out. so i used the side of the head like the cavy owners do. i'll eventually use the back if i do a rebuild. i haven't had any issue with it so far though.

 

in the process of doin the turbo install buttt ofcourse the damn map that zzp sent me in no way shape or form fits at all connectors are completly diffrent everything so im wondering will the stock map work for 10psi

 

im using the stock map sensor, youll be fine, friggen 08's are ass backwards

 

which is why ive had problems with some mods. And why im holding off on some mods.
