_Shane_ Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Lads im planning on doing this myself probably next weekend and I already found a write up on how to go about removing the stock turbos etc but my question is - Can i muck anything up apart from my knuckles in attempting to strip out the stock turbos I want to strip it down myself and then send it away to have the single kit fitted / installed and setup Any advise would be appreciated Thanks Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I assume your leaving the engine in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Yes mate, sorry i should have said that. I will have the car up on axle stands also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It's an ok job, just a little fiddly but why you sending it off to get a single installed... If you've done the hardest part removing the old setup why don't you carry on and fit the single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 I actually could probably do that but when I was reading the thread on removing the stock kit i dont know what to do with all them remaining lines / hoses that are left over, what needs to be closed off, what must be used etc I just wanted to strip it down myself to learn some more about the supra. I know im going to come across bits that i wont know whether they are to be removed or not, thats the only thing im worried about really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The nuts that hold the turbos onto the exhaust manifold will be siezed and are easy to round off. Watch out for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I`d leave stripping it to the person or company thats going to build it, that way if anything goes wrong you`ve only got them to blame, now if you were removing the turbos to be reconned then refitting that would be a learning curve albeit a painful one:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 worst thing that could happen is you round off the nuts. or cant undo them. as above tho if you can remove the old ones yourself just fit the new kit & learn how to plumb all the pipework in. loads of guides & advice on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
