So, I saw gurov do an Awesome job on teh turbo threads...SOOOOO since there are ALOT of questions about the blowers and how hard they are to install, and all that, figured i would start one.

Tonight, i basically just took the blower and IC piping off.  Tomorrow ill show you how to mount the intercooler, the piping, etc. etc .etc.   so, this is part one.


First, get the car up on the lift, or jack stands.  And get the bumper off.


Next, i took out my Battery just to make my life easier.


Me using a 10mm and stuby rachet to Loosen the T-bolt clamps.  (They are a pain, but work oh so good.)


I dropped the Screw driver to take off the Hose clamp holding the top coupler on


I own this spec-v Jalopie edition!


IC piping all laid out, with the proflow Bypass valve. 


What the blower looks like on the car


Another view


Yes...its dark     Just kidding.  its no where near that dark in there. although i could do this in the dark ive done it so many times LOL


Taken the bracket Apart


Action shot!  But really, Leave the belt tight on the car (dont touch the tensoner) and just loosen all Four 13/16 inch bolts on one side, The ones closet to the header will be the best, and easiest to work with when you go to put the blower BACK on.


ya...was sup?!


Once you get all 4 loose, Take out the middle two, Then the one in Front, THEN the one in back, the one in back will start to get hard, Just hold the blower up with your other hand. and it will come out very smooth and nice.  Just how Kurt likes it....yo hoe!


Now pull the blower back towards the passenger side of the car, and pop the belt off the alt. and then off the blower, and slide it on out


yay!  I win!!!   


Why the IC piping is out, Might as well clean that maf. If you dont know about this stuff, your already flirting with the devil.  since EVERY issue with this car, relates to the MAF someone, You should invest in some CRC MAF CLEANER  and SOAK the maf with that stuff.  i swear, your rear driver side window would not roll down, clean your maf, and BAM it works.  Fucking nissan.


I started to lay out my IC piping (changing a few things) and the first piece coming off the cold side, was hitting, so instead of busting out the cut wheel, i just sliced some vacuum line, Put some bonding adhesive on the inside and stuck it on.  now the pipe hits rubber, not metal.




I got there tonight, and my Card was full on my camera, So  i figured it was time for bed.
All in all, it took me about 1 full hour with stoping for pics, taking my time, answering a few texts, etc. etc. etc. 

Part two, comes tomorrow!
