Stock Twin Turbo nuts and bolts locations
I've seen a lot of posts where people don't know all the bolts needed to remove the stock twins turbos. So, I snapped a quick picture while the engine is still out of the car to show them.
Keep in mind, you also have the coolant connections above the turbos....

Pulling mine off over Christmas to fix a persistent oil leak, this will be of great help! Thanks!
Would you reccomend replacing the return lines at this time or just new gaskets? Pretty shure this is where my leak is originating from.

DamonB had a thread a while back where he wound up replacing his. I think it was to cure a persistent oil leak. Might want to search for that thread or wait to see if he'll chime in on this one.

For those of you looking to do some turbo work, you'll notice most of those nuts that go to the exhaust manifold studs are new in the picture above. Those nuts are almost $6 each. Anti-Seize will be your friend.

BTW, Mahjik, you wouldn't happen to know of a thread how-to (that still has pics up for disassembling/stripping a long block to a short block, would ya?

Mahjik, good point (as usual).
Rob, who said anything about putting it back together? Maybe next time
Pat, pshhh...sure man. I'll def. welcome all the help I can get, esp. it being my first time and all. I'm prob gonna buy an air compressor, impact gun, and flywheel breaker tool. Hopefully the main pulley doesn't turn out to be impossible (I've heard horror stories haha).
If you're free, I'm planning to tackle it on the 14th onward. The sooner the better, so PM me your availability from the 14th onward and we'll go from there. And of course, food and drinks are on me

The only time it's hard to pull the turbos is the first time.

I am replacing the stock turbos with a single kit, eliminating all unnecessary vacuum lines, GZ LIM, and I think a new radiator so I figured the easiest thing to do might be to remove the block.
Oh well. I will try the penetrating oil one more time before pulling it out. Thanks for the tips.

Alright I am stuck
1992 JDM working on replacing the Twins out with OEM. I found so far the process not to be horrifying, however I am stuck on two last nuts needing help. They arnt on insane tight or stripped, its just I cannot get to them. Attached is the modified original picture posted at the top. Is it best to get this from top or under the car? I have been trying extentions, u joints, everything and no luck. HELP!!
