janspeed front pipe

Almost impossible with the turbo on he car I'm afraid :? .
You'll have to remove the exhaust manifold, turbo and front pipe in one lump. Then you might be able to get an open ended spanner to it. It isn't that bad a job actually, I got ot down to a fine art now and can get it all off in about one & a half hours.
When I assembled my front pipe and turbo off the car, I cut that particular stud right down so I could fit a nut on it when all assembled, that was the only way I could see it could be done easily.

In that time I jack up the front of the car and put it on stands, take off the front anti roll bar, the lower 4 point Cusco brace, the front (round section) cross member, front grille, the radiator and fans, disconect the inlet & filter assembly and then set about removing the manifold, turbo and front pipe in one lump.Dooie Pop Pop said:as long as that Steve! i am the janspeed MEISTER then :lol: after forgetting to fit the gasket i managed to get it on/off/on again in that time :lol:nismoboy said:ok mate thanks for that.stevepudney said:

One of the reasons I assemble the turbo, Ex manifold and front pipe before it goes back on the car is so the dump pipe flange bolts can be done up really tight, as last time I was assembling it all ready to go on I discoverd the flange on the dump pipe was actually warped, so much so, even with 2 gaskets, it left a 12 thou gap between flange and turbine housing, it didn't make any difference how tight I did the bolts up the flange would not make a seal. In the end I had to machine the flange flat.

Sorry to but in on the thread lads but Steve how do you manage to get the Cusco Lower 4 point brace on with the Janspeed front pipe cause I had to sell my Cusco 2 point brace cause it used to knock on the Mongoose front pipe, then I bought a Whiteline 4 point lower brace which also knocked on the Mongoose front pipe so I have not even bothered re-fitting it since I had the Janspeed front pipe fitted as it would defo knock/rattle on my exhaust??? :?:
Have you had it cut??? :?:
