Quick question (I'm not using my own machine and don't have handy access to the FSM from this one):
I'm taking the car to my buddy's shop to start the swap within the next week. We're tearing out the AC, then swapping out/in all the other turbo bits. Here are my questions. Donor car is an '86 turbo and mine is an '86 NA.
1. What's the best line to t- off of for the oil TO the turbo? I already have a turbo oil pan with the return lines.
2. I just swapped my alt for a Maxima alt but left it on the driver's side. Now that I'm looking to swap over to the passenger side (I have the bracket), I notice some type of a blower in the location that the alt will fill. Which blower is this, can it be removed, and if not, what have the other na2t swappers done with it?
3. How many hours total should this take, with impact tools, a lift, and one other person at my disposal? All guesstimates, I know, but it'd be nice to hear from someone who's actually done the swap.
4. What gaskets do I need besides the oil pan gasket, FICD, exhaust gaskets? I don't need intake gaskets as I've already installed the turbo injectors.
I'm starting within the next 5 days, depending on the answers to the above questions. Thanks in advance.
