Talking help removing turbo plz.

1990 rx7 turbo II (t3/t4 turbo)

I need to take the turbo out of my car... I would really like a detailed description of How-TO do it or maybe a site that explains it. Also maybe a list of the tools that I will need? Thanks a lot once again

Factory service manual is available at http://www.fc3s.org

It's fairly straightforward. You'll simply need a set of metric sockets and wrenches (10-16MM) and lots of penetrating lube.

And you when you reinstall it do not forget to put the anti sieze lube on the bolts and studs. You will thank you self later.

Anti Sieze is good... bolt keepers are better. I had two nuts missing from my manifold when i tore my engine down!

Anti sieze is to make sure that you can get the nuts and bolts off of things that experience a lot of heat cycling.

It sounds like bolt keepers are a device to keep a bolt from backing off.

Two different things.
