Trying to re-clock my compressor housing. The center section feels like its welded to the turbine housing. Didnt have any PB Blaster last night, only wd40. What works for you guys to loosen the housing off the center section? I figure PB Blaster will work well, but thought I would ask. Started installing my new manifold last night and ran into this snag. The sooner I can break it loose the sooner I can be tuned and back on the road

 

Yeah sounds like a good idea and let it soak at bit.

I am real intrested to see the differnce in your manifolds, I guess are you gonna run the same turbo? I thought you were thinking about something a bit bigger.

 

PB blaster will work fine. Post up ur new numbers when you get her all done.

 

yea same turbo for now at least. This ELT manifold is about the nicest manifold I have ever seen....I mean Pang's welds are pretty amazing to be quite honest. I willpost some pics up for you guys...make a new thread.

 

i am curious to see what you do as well! what spark plugs are you using if you dont mind me asking?

 

Spray it down with some PB or WD40 and let it sit for a few...

Perhaps try bumping it lightly with a rubber mallet...or just brute strength. It will come off.

 

The 35r on my car had to be taken to a local shop with a bigger hammer to knock the exhaust housing off of it. We let it soak for days in PB and WD and no luck.

Hopefully yours will come off easier.

The guys at the turbo shop said it's pretty common, you just need to use "brute force"

 

good luck with ur new set up, do u plan on running the same boost? or ur gonna turn it up more? gt3076r right? i wanna see mad pics of the new manifold

 

You can always rotate the compressor housing instead of the turbine side.

 

Ive got it soaking in PB Blaster as we speak actually. I do have a question....I am trying to knock the housing off....but I have already taken the compressor housing off as well. I was using a rubber mallet on the backplate of the compressor housing with the turbine housing sitting in a vice so it wont move. What part of the turbo should I hammer against? I dont wanna hurt anything, and the comp housing is just aluminum. I guess i could always try to clamp it down on the comp housing and knock the turbine housing off that way. Trying to figure out how to actually get some force ion there without damage. Thanks for the help.
