3.1 Turbo Smoking like crazy ***Retarded DIS plug***

[TGPilot]

I had gone through a lower mount per year for a while before I got my new rack and pinion.

 

What does a rack and pinion have anything to do with how often motor mounts are worn out? :?

Uhg, will some1 PLEASE take a pic of thiers, i need to fuckin see how thiers is, mine will NOT go on, that stupid oil retun hard lines in the way! and i just blocks/bends the latch up, i even moved it out of the way some, but when it goes back to natural position it pushes the plug out, and the plug doesnt latch, its no broken, but i seems bent mabye from the stupid oil return hard line pushing on it, fuck, and wil-l the zip tie even last long right next to the exhaust manifold?

no, its hidden, right behind that bar that supports those wire looms, you can even see the conectors 2 wires, Red and black/blueish between the Bar supporting the loom and the Coils, you can see it at an angle, right through where the hose to th turbo-airbox and thrrough the big coolant line and its right there, easiest to see with a flashlight

See, THis is Kuntzie's TSTE, the oil return line is pointed in Green, and the Plug is pointed in Blue, My OIl return line is freaking RIGHT Up against that plug for some reason, like right up, pushing the plug out of its socket

[idbeast]

I think your oil return line to the oil pan is bent up and in...

Notice in these two pictures that even though the DIS is not installed, pay particular attn to the oil return line location.

Yea it does! it bends down and out of site like that, but its almost like it bends at a sharper angle, almost like a 90* angle, ill have to double check tomarrow, but in

you can see the DIS plug right there, it plugs in, but think of the oil return hard line is further back and more of an angle, and its right were the DIS would plug in, and pushes it out

thats basicly where mine is, see how the plug and the side of the line hit

[idbeast]

Yes yours is bent up, (green line) rebend it to clear the DIS plug...

tomorrow I'll I'll dig out a DIS and put it on both engines (then take pics) so you can see the difference.

[Prospeeder]

Alright thanks a Ton! Mice are making a home in my TGP now that its not being drivin, Turds on the plenum, xover, and what not, and before i start it i better make sure theres not one hiding in the hose to the turbo

[Prospeeder]

oh, and how would i bend it, it seems almost fragile, it moves a bit, i dont wanna bust it somthing, or if i slowly but firmly move it over, will it bend a bit?

[idbeast]

Yes, I'll get you better pics tomorrow evening...

[Garrett Powered]

damn mice! I hate those bastersd! It helps if you dont leave candy and shit laying around in the car. I wasnt driving the car 6 months and they moved in and made a huge mess.

[Prospeeder]

OK< so HOW do i bend it away from the DIS plug then, just push it over slowly but firmly and hold it there, then some more, then a little more? Or what?!

[GP1138]

Dude, you might want to consider relocating your coils and ICM if you're having this much trouble.

[Garrett Powered]

That is not for the weak hearted.. sounds like fun until you try it is what I heard.

[Prospeeder]

Please some1 tell me if i can bend it, and im definatly not redoing my DIS and coils

[Prospeeder]

bump :?

[Prospeeder]

Ok this is rediculous, the fucker wont bend at all, i need smaller zipties if im gonnna do that, but what the hell?! why would it just now be too close??? Jeff M, Do you know what i can do???

[gp90se]

go to a mechanic

[Guest TurboSedan]

take the pipe off first and then carefully bend it. it's just two 10mm nuts and it will come off the oil pan.

according to gutless its 2 Studs, whats the difference, im still a learner if its 2 10 mill bolts, easy to get too, or not...

[Guest TurboSedan]

it's two 10mm nuts. the oil pan has two studs that the nuts thread onto. it doesn't use bolts.

[Prospeeder]

oh ok, its high enough to wear i wouldnt need to dain oil, ill just rig this fucker up with Zip ties and mess with it in the heated autoshop, how long is the hard line to the pan? does it go back in its place very willingly?

[Prospeeder]

well, i zipped tied it, seems to be holding up, i may actually fix it someday
