6578, 14b setup question
Posted by JayWeezie88, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Ok so I picked up a 14b today that was rebuilt less than 1000 miles ago. Along with that the guy chipped in all the oil lines that connect to the 14b, 1g smic, exhaust manifold, o2 housing and new o2 sensor, all the ic pipes, and the oil return line.

My question is...Would i be able to simply bolt all of this up and run the 14b? I can do slight customization such as pipe cutting and such, but welding is out of the question as I dont have the tools/knowledge.

is this going in a 2g 420a or a turbo 2g? if its the turbo 2g, you will need an install kit for it, if its the 420a, you will need alot more stuff.

It will bolt up without too much trouble. All you really need would be the j-pipe and the oil feed line.
You will have to:
1.)Drill out the holes a little on the turbo side of your stock oil return line. The ones on a 14b/16g are spaced a little wider.
2.)Attach oil feed line
3.)Reverse and/or bend the water lines as needed
4.)Make the j-pipe mate to your LICP.
It took me a good 8 hrs to do mine but I did it outside, in the dark, and also swapped injectors and fuel pump.
edit: If he gave you the stock 1G j-pipe, it won't work. In fact, you won't be able to use ANY of the IC piping. The j-pipe won't work because it comes off the turbo in the wrong direction. You need one that goes towards the pass side. If I were you, I's buy an install kit. A couple different vendors have them for around $200.

Sorry if im getting you guys frustrated...

But..
1.) He gave me the 14b oil return line from his car (1g)
2.) All of the lines are attached to the turbo already besides the return line
3.) I can understand bending the lines a bit thats not a problem
4.) The ic piping he gave me is off of the 1g

If this is redundant just ignore it and tell me to shutup and buy a install kit / j-pipe lol

shut up and buy an install kit/ j-pipe. you don't want to use the stock oil lines for this install. just get a kit. and buy my j-pipe. i'll hook you up as it is extra and i don't really need it.

Buy his J-pipe and you can get the SS oil feed line and gasket from RRE.
You won't need anything else. You won't need or be able to use the IC piping or SMIC. You will want to get an adapter and use the 1G BOV if he included that. Or get another. The plastic stock 2g one sucks.
6587, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by JayWeezie88, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Yeah I have the 1g bov too...So j-pipe (in the process) and new oil feed line.

And voila....14b powered?
6588, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by eclipzGST, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
pretty much yeah...
There's always little stuff you won't know you needed till you have evrything apart though. ;)
Also, try to scrounge up an extra turbo/manifold bolt. Stock setup has 3 bolts and a stud. Just replace the stud with a bolt.
I would start SOAKING eveything in PB Blaster as much as you can as early as possible before you think about cracking a bolt loose. I'd also soak it and let in set overnight before you do it too.

Posted by JayWeezie88, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I have all the bolts too as the turbo came with the manifold..and o2 housing...but I've researched that the 2g o2 housing flows better so ill swap that out.
6590, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by hookduphatch, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
lol. i also have a evo 3 o2 housing and exhaust manifold that will really be a lot better than the pieces you now have.
6591, RE: 14b setup question

lol...if I post I also have a whopper with cheese will you say you have a double whopper with cheese for sale?
6592, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by hookduphatch, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
nope. in all honesty i only have basically those three things right now. oh, and a boost gauge. lol.
6593, RE: 14b setup question

homey is the proud new owner of a j-pipe, evo3 manifold, and evo3 o2 housing.

Damn, it took me a few hours to do mine plus some other stuff. 2 MONTHS is WAY unacceptable!:dark
6597, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by JayWeezie88, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
lol It didn't take me 2 months.

I didn't start it it until like 2 weeks ago.

It only took me like a week and a half maybe. (ONLY lol)

Most of that was just waiting for parts, and trying to find a day/night were it wasn't -10 outside. (You know its not fun working in a garage where the only source of heat is the work light)

As for the T25. Sheard shaft lol.
Sooo thats where all the oil was.
6598, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by eclipzGST, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well, at least it's done and I'm sure it pulls a lot nicer.
Hey I just noticed what your post count was. Don't ever post again so it stays that way forever. ;)

Damn, I remember those days! Literally putting your hands inside the light cage to get them to warm up enough to grab a wrench. Sheeiite!

I have a little heater too but it doesnt do any good when the garage door is open.

lol...I'd rather lay my back on cold pavement then cement.

And like I said before its not much of a difference when the garage door is open b/c all the shit in the garage wont let the car pull in all the way.

TRUST me it is such a pain to deal with the 14b, I really wouldnt recomend it.
6604, RE: 14b setup question
Posted by JayWeezie88, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well its already in my car. And the only realy problem I'm having with it is boost creep.

Other than that its great.

Well, later on he can bolt on a 16g and most of the work is already done. :thumbsup

What's wrong with a 14b? It really is a great little turbo. While a 16g makes for a better street turbo in most cases (where the proper supporting mods are in place), a 14b is a huge step up from the t25, and you can find them for almost nothing. A 16g is not that different from a 14b, it just has a larger compressor wheel and a 7cm exhuast housing vs a 6cm for the 14b. They have been proven to make some good power on near stock cars. Hate on the t25 all you want (it truly does suck after all) but at least give a little love to the 14b!

Edit: And as Tony said, once a 14b is installed, all you have to do is unbolt the turbo (without breaking too many bolts ;-)) and water/oil lines, and then bolt in the 16g and lines. Easy job!
