Default Im about to begin...

Ive got enough parts to go ahead with the turboing of my ef9.

Just wondering, does anyone have any tips that could help me along the way... eg, irregular size sockets i need.
Also, only thing that looks tricky is the oil feed from the back of the engine. Ive got all the bits, but what tool would you suggest to get it on and off.

Cheers guys

Ill post pics as i go through with it

why do you need bits for the oil feed on the back of the block? I thought it was just screw out and screw in your line? Maybe im wrong You just need to have patience(something i dont have)

You need an adjustable wrench, a razor blade and some wire to extend the sensor... It's pretty easy once you get the sensor boot off.

Ok cheers guys.

Im guna use a oil pressure gauge, and leave the standard one d/c. Itll put a oil light up,but will it throw a cel and effect the ecu?

Nah you can leave it disconnected. Just take the damn bulb out of your gauge cluster. BTW, the socket you need for the factory oil pressure sending unit is a 24mm Deep socket. just pull off the hershey's kiss looking rubber thing off and wrench it off.
