Does this kit require relocation of the washer reservoir?

Based on the pictures, it must. The intakes are in a similar position as in the Garrett kits.

Get some 6000lb. jack stands, they lift the car twice as high as the small ones, makes it 10 times easier to work on. I pulled my tranny, installed a stage 3 southbend clutch and reinstalled the tranny by myself without any problems what so ever. Also did a Quaife diff on the rear end before that.

My car is up on jacks again getting ready to install a turbo, the tall jacks make all the difference in the world.

Dang! How did you lower the tranny by yourself? Impressive anyway!

So was there any technique to actually lifting the car that high on a jack safely?

What's the specs on your jack?

Yep, but had to get it on the floor and off the jack somehow...

With your hands?

It weighs less than 200lbs, any adult male should be able to move it 6 inches off of the jack. Just saying.

Honestly, I have no idea what a transmission weighs. I just assumed it was hundreds of pounds. Anyway, getting way off topic.

BACK TO TURBO TALK!

question if one day, one wanted to upgrade the mitsubishi turbos to the garrett turbos (for the ball bearings n such) would it be possible with this kit? or should i just save up longer for the garrett kit? lol

Dzel 03-28-2013 12:39 PM

^Good question

cnock 03-28-2013 09:34 PM

im assuming the flanges on the exhaust manifold are different between the two. At least when i was into eclipses we were flanged for the g series turbos bt if we wanted to use others it required a new exhaust mani

or if your beefy you just set on top of you on a good creeper roll under car pick it up and shove it in. my 2 cents on that one since most tranny jacks are crap anyway.

Now that's a manly way to do it!

So the GTM 3" Downpipes will be available for sale separately? I am looking to replace the DPs on mu Greddy TT setup and these may fit the bill. I guess I should just call in huh?

Cvzg77r 03-29-2013 06:22 AM

so no definite answer from gtm?
