my problem...

[thesandymancan]

i can't figure out how to bolt my oil return line on. is there a proper method that is fairly simple. i've tried to bolt it onto the block while it was attatched to the turbo, i cant get it tight enough. someone told me to bolt the line to the block first, then attatch the turbo... but i don't see how it's possible.

:1zhelp:

I bolt both lines to the turbo first, with the turbo loose from the manifold, I make sure the feed line goes over the studs on the block. Then I get the return line bango bolt started while you can still move the turbo around a bit. Once that is started, I tighten everything up.

the problem is getting the bolts tight on the hose with two bolts (the feed line?). i can get everything where it needs to be but i cant tighten thoes bolts and it's the only thing keeping me from driving my supra! super frustrating.

I used a socket and a 6 inch extention I think maybe a couple of shorter extensions with a deep socket?. I can't recall now. Get the socket/extensions on the nuts and then put your wratchet on the end of it. Not much help here, sorry. Most of it was by brail for me.

that sounds good but how would you attatch them?

stock flanges??? maybe??? lol, chop off the stock flanges... it's really not that hard to do if you have the right tools
