ok im nowhere use to taking off a turbo on a rx-7 (S5) and it's driving me nuts i need some feedback on how to go about it i already got the airbox and intake off so im just looking at the turbo right now....id appreciate feedback

 

take off the intercooler or at least the pipe between that and the turbo. take off the 2 water lines and the 2 oil lines then the 4 bolts to the manifold and the 3 on the exhaust. wiggle and lift at the same time.

 

so much easier if u take out the engine

 

its easy about a 25 min job.first off take the heat sheild down which is a 10mm bolts 2 i think only need to remove the side that is on the passenger side not the one that is covering the turbo from the engine.
take your down pipe off, front intake off which you have. also the piping that goes to the turbo. and also remove the blow off valve cause it gets in the way and take down your oil return line and also the coolant line from the block side which have two 10mm bolt on them NOT THE BIG 20mm bolts that is on the turbo those are easy to round off.... then you have the 14mm which hold the turbo to the manifold which 3 are easy to get off from the top of the engine and the other one youll have to get from under the car. remove this all and should wiggle the turbo out. good luck

 

theres a write up on the rotaryressurection site
