Im going to ask all my questions in here instead of starting a bunch of new ones.

1. How can i get the oil sensor off the back of the block? it seems stuck pretty good.

2. Injectors seem physically too long/fat. 460 cc from an rx7 (i already made one thread about this) https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1789081

3. can i run the oil return to the shallow part of the oil pan?

4. my boost guage is missing a compression fitting, and the guys at napa couldnt find anything to fit. can i just fit some vac hosing over the threaded end and zip tie it?

5. my downpipe (i got it used) has a differnt flange than my turbo. how bad is it to run open turbo to meinke or some muffler shop to get it fitted right? how loud is it?


thats all for now. Im sure ill have some more questions soon. thanks in advance!

1. How can i get the oil sensor off the back of the block? it seems stuck pretty good. 24MM deep socket

2. Injectors seem physically too long/fat. 460 cc from an rx7 (i already made one thread about this) https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1789081

3. can i run the oil return to the shallow part of the oil pan? sure as long its above the oil level and doesnt have any restrictions going back into the pan

4. my boost guage is missing a compression fitting, and the guys at napa couldnt find anything to fit. can i just fit some vac hosing over the threaded end and zip tie it? autozone sells a kit with the fittings, otherwise go to napa or home depot and get a 1/8"npt barbed brass fitting and replace the compression fitting with that, ive gotten them from napa before

5. my downpipe (i got it used) has a differnt flange than my turbo. how bad is it to run open turbo to meinke or some muffler shop to get it fitted right? how loud is it? it will be loud and might burn anything near it from the hot exhaust gasses.

im talking about the rubber part of the sensor. I read youre supposed to be able to pull it straight off, and then unscrew the actual sensor with the deep socket. sorry for not being clear. thanks for the help

if you run open turbo, **** look for fire

aaroboost

the open turbo shouldnt be for more than like 15 or 20 minutes to get to the shop. im thinking about callling AAA. would thet tow for free for this situation? "im having exhaust trouble"

Yes it would. I have done it many times before.

D15Bbigred

yah that 'll work fine, but if you need it towed from the muffler shop they won't do that

I have had them tow back also. Just tell them the car isnt running right, and is undrivable.

aaroboost

i can drive home, just need it towed there. Ill wait till tommorow and see how loud it is. I hope nothing blows up on the initial startup. just gotta put the oil pan back on and connect the oil return.
Thanks for the help guys.
