Btw why havn't you ripped the post office a new one yet?
I called them and complained and they aren't going to do anything about it so I'll be shipping a box of battery acid, fireworks and gasoline next week....sons 'a b!^@&hes!!!! LOL!
Absolutely unecessary but I have idle hands sometimes.
Water outlet.
10mm socket removes four bolts on the water outlet here.
Off.
Take a razorblade and remove all traces of the old gasket from the water outlet opening on the block...
and on the water outlet.
Take the liquid gasket and apply a continous bead around the outlet, re-install, place your bolts back on and torque to .64-.85ft.lbs. You can use your telekenetic abilities and torque something to .64ft.lbs....you could blow on something and torque it to .64ft.lbs!
I replaced some of the OEM bolts on my engine with either new OEM or an equal grade parts store equivalent and I thought it might be useful for some people to know which sizes that I used and where to get them if they can't find any.
M8-1,25X30MM
I used these to replace the intake manifold bolts.
I also used one to replace the knock sensor bolt.
M6-1,0X20MM
I used these to replace the bolts for the coilpacks...
and the theromstat housing.
They can also be used to replace the four on the water outlet and the one for the dip stick tube.
M10-1,50X20MM
I used these for the motor mount brackets to the block.
M6-1,0X10MM
I used these for the small bolts on the fuel rail...
and the intake manifold runners.
You can also use one for the coolant bleed screw on the top of the water outlet.
M8-1,25X20MM
You can use these for the intake manifold support brackets...
you can also use them for the water pump...
the battery ground on the intake manifold, the two small bolts on the bottom of the alternator bracket...
mounting the coolant and water lines under the intake manifold to the block...
and for mounting the fuel rail back on the intake manifold.
M8-1,25
These washers are for the intake manifold.
I thought that it would at first because the heads on the bolts are slightly larger than the OEM bolts but so far not in the least. The only one I have a problem replacing is the bolt for the speed sensor because the sensor has a hump that is practically touching the bolt head so you really need a bolt that has a very small head for that one.
If you are using steel bolts then they should be cad plated to go into the aluminum. I would either go get some cad plated screws or put the ones you took out back in.
What kind of turbo manifold is everyone running? Originally I was going to go with the all-purpose $150 cheapy brand that is available everywhere but I started reading everywhere about them cracking 6 months down the line so let's just do it right from the get-go yes?! Right now I'm leaning towards the Tomei(a little pricey but), Ichiba, Peak Performance and I found one from DC Sports. HKS and JIC are definitely can't do's.

if you can i would go with the Tomei unit, havent seen the Ichiba one, but when i got my megan the guy at heavy throttle told me that the Peak Performance and the Megan one are the same, i was originally gonna go with the peak performance one but heavythrottle said they were out so then the guy told me about the megan one.

Dude, I'm so back and forth on this issue. Yesterday afternoon I was all for the Tomei but after talking to some gearheads lastnight, they told me that for the kind of driving that I was planning to do the Tomei would be overkill and that I could get by with the Megan so now I'm back on that kick.

Where did you get the aluminum bushing? The S13 I just bought already has the engine out and the bottom half of the steering disconnected cuz the rednecks who pulled the motor out though you had to do that to get it out. So basically now would be the perfect time to do the bushing while I'm saving for my SR.
ok i'm goin way back to the first page. but that mean green stuff is that safe for hoses and plastics???
btw way to fuckin go dude great great GREAT job on this

Thanks, as far the Mean Green on hose and plastics, I used it to clean the dirty intercooler piping which is plastic, couplers, IACV hose, intake hoses and it didn't damage them in any way. It did get them very clean though.
My boss is running the tomei manifold and turbo elbow on his S14 SR and it sounds great, spools fast, is very compact and hasn't cracked, leaked or otherwise caused any issues so far.

go with the megan mani and a tomei/greddy turbo outlet pipe. it will save you some money and the megan one isnt that bad, then when you have enough money saved up to fully build that oh-so-sexy engine of yours, then go all out (those are my plans, just gonna enjoy it until then)

No word on the megan one though!
Thanks for the input rexbo.

Yeah, that did cross my mind...if I were to upgrade the turbo later on then would be the time to go all out!
Went to the junkyard today to help a friend pull the head off a 1st gen Integra and while we were at it I noticed a purple 2nd gen Altima sitting a couple of feet away. When we were done I went over and popped the hood, the radiator was gone but what did I find just sitting in the bay....
this set of Altima fans in great condition.
I'm not sure if this is the set that everyone uses but we tested them at the junkyard, they both run and I only paid $40 for them so if this is the correct set then I came out on top. If these are the right fans I'm gonna clean them up and sell the Permacool.
