Any other ideas?
It's been soaked with wd40 all last week.
LOL... Stripped in a Previous life he says! Go and read page 1 of this build thread mate, this was a 1 Owner, Grandpa Spec, Spotless example of a GQ, then you took it home!! I reckon that "Previous life" might have been on your watch mate ;)Quote:

Can you get an impact driver in there mate?
Heat.......
Yeah grind two flat bits or weld a nut to it - probly better option. Could be a good one to try that freeze & release. . . Some things are never meant to be easy ! ! . . .
Wasn't me, check the build thread back then.Quote:

Cmon Dazz???
My gq history is irrelevant bloke ;)
Lol! Mate I just read the first 400 posts in this build thread, I kept reading until the turbo was well and truly fitted. By the time I got to 400 I was thinking you led me a stray!
Have faith though bud I found a few great posts that I had not thanked so dealt with that while I was trolling.
I remember when the HT18 was enough! Now look at ya!! You've changed!
It was fun to watch though, even the thanks from others...lol!Quote:

Get a little spray bottle and mix 50/50 acetone and atf in it, shake it up good as they will want to separate. Spray the bejesus out of it and let it soak in for a couple of hours. Should help.Quote:

Had another win, confirmed the ht18 water lines I had custom made are m14 1.5, exactly the same as Borgwarner.
That's a huge win to make things easier!
Hallelujah!!!!
Forgot to mention, used the freeze and release can as well.
Good job bloke
I had to drag poor Rossco over with his welder to weld a nut on.Quote:

Crazy seized!!!
Yeah but you won :p
Yeah they were pretty tight. Think we were lucky must of been getting pretty close to that front stud snapping, pretty crazy how much force was going through that little thing, it was twisting the whole motor!!
Just waiting on one more part and I can bolt everything up!
Made up a new support for the fatz airbox to raise it up another 10mm for better clearance of the 4" pipe to turbo and also to allow the aux battery tray to fit because the oem bottom support angle bracket is in the way of the aux tray.
Been a challenging task but it's all ready to bolt up!
Pirtek are awesome! Managed to keep most the original oil water lines, just made up new fittings to suit Borgwarner.
This is coming along awesome Andy, can't wait for you to take me for a spin to see the difference.
(I still have not taken the airbox out of my car since I picked it up)
It does fit good mate but needs slight mod for aux tray and you would need to take a fair chunk of strength away from the alternator bracket so I decided on raising it a whisker.Quote:

Raising it sounds good. Please take lots of photos when it goes back in. Lol.
I'll catch up with Rossco, cheers for that.
Finally got time to jump back on the gq.
Turbo finally bolted up!
It's a tight fit, slight panel beating to fit the wastegate in.
Just need some more 4" clamps, m8 studs, T piece and hose for the recirculation valve, oil drain fitting and I think I'm ready to connect everything up...Yay!
And the 200kw pump and job doneQuote:
