Up pipe removal
Has anyone ever removed their up pipe without removing the turbo? Has anyone done it with offset sockets or spanner sockets while leaving it in place?
I am trying to fit my Harvey Up pipe and Gt headers prior to my final mapping session with Andy F. |
someone had done that before for my car,but i didnot know how he didi it.
|
Thanks!

Yes mate, headers and down pipe need to be removed. You will also need a long extension bar. Pretty easy as long as the studs dont snap. You will also need to undo the O/S engine mount and lift the engine a few inches to get the up-pipe out.
|
The problem is I cant get to the nuts on the up pipe as some are right under the turbo and there is no way I can get any sort of socket in there.

How did you get to the nuts on the up pipe studs? There is two I can't get directly with sockets.
|
how has anyone removed both up and downpipes without removing turbo.

I've removed mine in that I got all of the bolts off, but the Cat wouldn't fit through the gap so I had to remove the turbo anyway. Ratchet spanners, stubby spanners and lots of different extensions from what I recall:D

i just use a decent shallow socket 14mm?, put the socket on first then then put the the extension bar on the socket, if you know what i mean? |
Thanks for the replies guys.
Maybe its the 321T I have. There seems to be an oil inlet pipe in my way. I'll have a go with some crow's feet sockets tomorrow. |
