i dont. lol just reused the same bolt and nut. the idler and tensioner are reused too. they should be fine. only like 60xxxkm on them
will change everything when i do the timing belt

[Supraclean]

Please make sure you have a new Idler bolt/ and tesnioner nut with Lock tight!

[amnash]

pic of the two turbos:

[amnash]

sure, ill take a pic tomorrow. there's like 0 size difference though. only difference i can see is the compressor housing

[M13]

DO you have a comparison pic of that VG turbo next to an RB20 turbo?


When I looked for turbo upgrades, I couldn't find enough info so I went with a GT30 haha.


It'd be cool for other RB20'r to see.

[amnash]

its all i had on hand lol its on there good n' tight. i dont think its gonna leak
but, teflon tape would have been better your right.

[M13]

red loctite isn't for sealing, just preventing it from loosening off from vibration. Use a teflon tape for pipe threads.

[amnash]

had to make a spot on the vg30 turbo for this fitting:


used some red loctite to seal it up

[amnash]

just thought i would post how i went about removing the super corroded rear wiper nut

the BEST way to get it out is to mask off the surrounding window, then take a course file and just work on one side of the nut carefully until you can see the threads. then you take vice grips and grab on it the same way you would with regular wrench and turn the nut. it will bend open and fall off.

not ideal..but use a bolt for those bro..take one of the nuts..and go to wherever and thread it onto a bolt and buy the bolts and cut to length

turns out 4/6 of the fasteners are supposed to be bolts anyhow. weird but its out of FAST.

My studs are pooches as well. I think I am going to try and find the part number and order some of these up.... If I find them I'll let you know

sent u pm.
