How do you rotate the center section on a 14b?
 

- Edited to save some humiliation, wasn't thinking at all, my bad!

Re: Water/Oil Inlets/Outlets, can they be swapped?
 

no you ------ idiot. you cant lubricate a motor with water dumbass

Re: Water/Oil Inlets/Outlets, can they be swapped?
 

alright yeah i wasn't thinking. Thanks

Re: Water/Oil Inlets/Outlets, can they be swapped?
 

no ----


you might try clocking the center section, all it takes is to remove the dowell that locates the exhaust housing

Re: Water/Oil Inlets/Outlets, can they be swapped?
 

yeah thats all i was trying to clock, not the whole cold side. Where is this dowell located?

this is the bridge further after the bridge to far :P

Re: Water/Oil Inlets/Outlets, can they be swapped?
 

alright i admit it was a stupid ------- question, i just thought of it sitting here so i decided to ask about it, my bad

but moving on, for real. I've had the clamp off the center section, i've had the cold side of the turbo loose, but i can't rotate the whole thing becasue the way the wastegate is attached, so i would really like to know what i need to do to rotate the center section. It would be highly appreciated

maybe read this will help you : https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=13035.0

may want to get in the habit of using the search button first.

^ i did read that already, thanks though. It didn't help at all becasue my housing doesn't have the simple bolts that allow you to rotate it, i rotated my old turbo just fine using the same method in that DIY but I just don't understand why this new one won't rotate. Here's pictures to show you that the whole thing is loose, i just can't find a way to spin it:

The clamp is off in these pictures, from the looks of i don't see any thing that's holding the section from rotating

There was a pin and a hole you use to line them up.. at one point in time. I just cut the pin off so I could rotate it.

im sure taking it off would help alot

Get old bucket of used oil. Dump turbo in bucket for a couple days. Been working since day one. And if you have old oil around its FREE

He's a bitch. That little tiny dick pin and oil crud is holding it together. PB blaster and a hammer then knock that little pin off.

yeah i really apologize for even posting this, i was searchign for the wrong thing and then put it specifically "rotating 14b" and found like 5 threads about rotating a 14b, sorry guys. And yeah taking the cold side off would help alot, i just didn't have a 12-point socket to get teh wastegate actuator off, but it's actually off now and i found the pin. I'll get it out of there, rotate the center section and re-install it. Thanks guys
