so im putting my stuff on and i need to clock the turbo. the compressor side clocked fine, but this exhuat side is a real bitch. how shoudl i do it without causing damage??? and i started shaving my block today, but the turbo still wont fit. how much am i suposed to take off? BY THE WAY, PICTURES SAY A THOUSAND WORDS FELLAS!!LOL

 

soak the **** out of it with penitrating lube put it in a vice.. just make sure not to crack it

 

Someone will post a pic, but most of the block webbing that it contacts needs to be cut out. It makes at that 90 degree shape, I hope you understand what I'm talking about.

 

i probably do lol, buut pictes are still nie. right now the oil drain flanfs is hitting one of the ac lines . thats hwy it needs to be clocked

 

loosen the exhuast hosuing bolts
then flip it around
and take a hammer at the compressor side housings
a few good wacks the center should be loose to clock

the webbing is easy just cut using drmele
then a angle grinder and grind it smooth
ill get pictures if i can later

 

i just really dont wanna mess it up. if it breaks, i dont have 300 to get it rebuilt. are u sure im supposed to wakc it hard, and why the compressor side?

its loose on the turbine said i assume
but its stuck on the compressor

just use hammer+old clothes or towels to wack it

 

its the turbine side thats stuck. im pretty sure whacking it wont hurt it. but im scared lol

 

Use a soft blow hammer

do u need to move the oilport/ oil return?
or just clock the turbine

just wack turbine housing if u need to move it alittle
if u need to fully clock it u need to wack the compressor side when the turbine bolts are loose

LS motor u dont need to shave that much but i just did so it can clock perfect and its nice and smooth

 

how about the gsr block, do i needs to just get under the coolant drain. or is there more to shave?

 

just cut alittle
and then test fit
if it hits
grind it down/cut more

 

heat the turbo with a torch. i did it and it came right off.

 

where the exhuast bolts are?

 

Yeah just get a torch and heat up the exhaust housing after the bolts are all loosened....let it get pretty damn hot....then either use gloves and turn it yourself or you might need to tap it with a soft blow hammer but it should move.

 

Ive done this a few times. Non-SSAuto turbos use very strong chromium steel for the turbine housing, you cant do much to harm it. Just loosen the bolts (1/16" between bolt/housing), the gently tap the turbing housing with a 4lbs sledge, slowly working around it's circumference. Just do that harder until it breaks loose.
