A little help

[cardiff scum]

A little help would be much appreciated;ive been trying to get my stainless manifold off for the last couple of days but so far no joy because i cant seperate the turbo from the mani.Everything else is off i just cant get at the pesky little bolts:annoyed: so if anyone of a masocistic nature want to help me i would be very greatful

S13 or S14, is the manifold off the car totally with the turbo attached or are you trying ot take ot turbo off with the manifold still attached ot the engine?

its better ot take the manifold off with the turbo on, you have ot take the passenger side wheel and the arch liner off to get to the manifold bolts from underneath

ive got the manifold bolts off and have stripped out everything from the turbo,just cant get it out,s14 btw

[Butuz]

Undo the bolts from the turbo elbow > the downpipe and then pull the manifold, turbo, elbow out all in one.

Easiest way to do it tbh

[Mason]

Was a pain in the ass on the S13, especially with limited tools, keep trying it will be quicker than someone arranging a day to come over.

Can you slide it off the studs (engine side of manifold) ?

I had to remove some of the studs to enable easy removal :nod:

Pretty sure I have a standard manifold somewhere :nod: and diffinately have a tubular one ;)

[Butuz]

And not all tubular manifolds crack - my one (not sure on make) stayed together on a long drive back from southamton to get papa's car :nod: even when my turbo came loose enough to break 2 of the studs that hold the turbo to the manifold - no damage to the mani whatsoever strong as an ox.
