Finally got round to dragging the engine out of the red zed today to get the drivers side turbo replaced. Came out easy enough but don't see how you lot can do it in an hour or two :confused: Turbo was well and truly seized, wasn't oil starvation and certainly wasnt bearing collapse. What usually causes them to fail?

Its back in and mounts are in place, gonna spend the evenings over the next week plugging it all in and getting it ready for action next weekend. Then the real fun begins, I'll have a Z1 lightweight flywheel, exedy paddle clutch, uprated intercoolers and new exhaust system to fit :hyper:

well done mate. looking good

excuse the camera phone pics. I haven't painted it pink :rofl:

Good work bud.once youve done a few its not bad at all and can be done remarkably quick.Did you leave the a/c compressor on the engine? You can leave it behind like the power steering pump.Be 100% sure the oil line is good as tubs dont seize for no reason.

Yeah left the a/c pump on whilst we lifted it out, but its coming off tomorrow as I'll be doing away with the a/c. The oil line certainly seemed ok from a visual inspection, we had a good poke aroung to make sure there was nothing obvious :)
