TURBO SWAP BLUES

[ILOVESILVIA(S13)]

Well, not really a problem, but more a PITA. I got around to clocking the SR turbo housing the other day and am now ready to mount the manifold back to the engine. It already sucks though because I got all the manifold nuts on except those last two which are conveniently located under the turbo around the block a few times, and then in a hole which goes to china and then circumnavigates back around behind my aunts cankle.

Anyway, I guess what Im trying to say is THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS are a pain in the arss. Is it just me or was this hard for anyone else. I guess thats what i get for having big hands and not the enough of the right tools. Not to mention after that I'll have to attack those coolant and oil lines, which in my case are sons of satan as well, with there little bastard child banjo gaskets that love to not stay in place while navigating the bolts into there right position. Well, just venting some frustration before I get this done tomorrow since my professor canceled classes. If anyone has any tips to make my life easier feel free to share. Oh yea, Im doing this all in my friends carport in the cold. Meh!

Enough complaining, just had to vent some steam.

if you can find them, kobalt made some very flat wrenches that makes the job a lot easier. lowes used to carry them but i havnt been able to find them recently. lucky for me ive got all the ones that count. maybe hiring a person with tiny hands would help too. got any kids or younger siblings you can threaten/bribe? and dont worry sir, i too hate those last 2 bolts with a freaking passion.

get a stubby 14mm combination wrench makes life real easy.
