14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

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....

Re: 14b install?
 

lol, i just took my 14b off, and put my evo 3 16g on today.

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

Cool thanks!

Re: 14b install?
 

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.

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

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.

Re: 14b install?
 

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!

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

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).

Re: 14b install?
 

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.

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

Ok cool thanks!

Re: 14b install?
 

Very good advice.

Re: 14b install?
 

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

Re: 14b install?
 

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.
