    Default Taking the twin turbo's of a 1JZ

    hey guys,

    just about to take the turbos of my 1jz, just wanting to know what is the easiest way to take off the turbos? As i have heard from quite a few people that it is a bitch of a job.

    i have access to a hoist and a heaps of tools.

    so from peoples personal eperience what is the easiest way to get the turbos off.


    thanks.

    fantastic find there on removing the turbos!
    Yes, they are a slut. it's not a hard job to conceptualise, it's just a pita to actually get to the bolts.

    Because you are removing them as a pair it's a bit easier. From memory it may be easier to take the 3 turbo to manifold bolts off each turbo than attack the manifold to block bolts. Other than that remove the two turbo watercooling pipes, 2 oil pipes, heater line at rear, ISCV intake and 1 vacuum line at the rear, 3 dump pipe bolts and bobs your uncle. A few different spanners, different size drives and universal joints will help with the hard to reach bolts. If you can't do it in 12 hours you don't deserve to own your car

    cool well thats what i want to hear... me and a few mates probably will buy a carton of beer and get the turbos off.

    do you recon it will be alot harder because the 1jz is in a 180 or should it be similar to a soarer or a jza70?

    You will find it harder, if there is less room.
    I have removed the turbos off my 1jz, and 2jz, because i had them in my hilux, i found it easier to remove them whilst i had the motor out.

    the biggest problem is the clearance between block and turbos - the chassis should not make too much of a difference.

    And yes, many different types of extentions and unis will help a lot!

    I don't know what sort of steering the 180 has but my biggest problem was the bloody steering box. I was stupid and took them off seperately as well.

    On a related note, has anyone taken the turbos off a 2JZ while in the car? I have to do this in the near future and it looks like it's going to be a mission and a half...

    Try to do it in a tight engine bay... It took me 9 hours to remove, and i removed the turbos leaving the exhaust manifold on the car. Putting it back on the car took me 5 hours...

    Yes it's a hard job, get some proper tools to do it... Whilst your at it... If you want to do a 1JZGTE to 2JZGTE water pump, that's the best time because you can acess the back of the water pump to do up the two bolts that attach to the hard line. Otherwise if you change your water pump whist the turbos are on the car, you may find it a bit difficult.

    The only thing that will hinder your progress will be if you don't have enough tools which i've found and you need just the right size for certain bolts to make the right clearance in the tight gaps etc... it's not too hard a job, just time consuming.
