s14 turbo install fun!

[Silvia_Drift]

yeah I got one too, but you'd be better off just replacing the stud rather than replacing the whole manifold. Studs are like $.90 at autozone

Ok, I'm just gonna replace the stud lol. Thanks anyways guys.

i didn't have to clock my S14 turbo either.

well i THOUGHT i didnt have to clock mine but upon installation i noticed that it was SLIGHTLY off...this misaligned my coolant lines so i was not able to line them up..i tried connecting them to the turbo first but once i did that i could not get the manifold on....sucks to be me...i had to cut the lines and reconnect them w/ heater hose until next week when my steel braided line is made locally....(and yes i was gonna just take it apart and clock it but i couldnt find a set of snap ring pliers anywhere and this is my only car and i needed it on the road asap)

have fun w/ this install...definately not as easy as i thought it would be...but now rocket science either

vice+ two guys with screwdrivers> snap ring pliers (you won't find a big enough set anywhere anyway).

lol good info for the future i guess...my lines are being made now...i feel like an idiot for not just buying taka lines as i have spent that much now (on my install kit and now my lines (coolant lines could have worked but i went the short route)
