14b 1g mani and o2 Install on 4g61 complete install guide

Steps
-Remove Battery
-Remove air snorkel (from air box to turbo)
-Remove turbo heat shields
-Drain rad coolant (from little drain on bottom corner)
-Remove Rad and rad Fan (I took the rad fan off first, then the rad because of clearance)
-Unbolt exhaust down pipe
-Unbolt upper turbo oil line (banjo bolt with 2 copper washers)
-Unbolt Front coolant banjo bolt
-Unbolt exhaust manifold from head (Will have to remove power steering pump/bracket to get lower right exhaust mani nut off.)
-Unbolt lower oil line

Should be free and ready to pull away from the head and up (will be a little stiff, I used a pry bar to get it off the head studs)

Steps to prepare 14b, 1g talon manifold, and 1g o2 housing for install

Stock 9b turbo has a smaller front coolant port then the 14b so you need a 1g talon front hard coolant line for a 14b with the bigger banjo bolt.

Two ways to do it, more work or fusing around bending and twisting
What I did was to bend and twist the 1g coolant line to fit the turbo and 4g61 coolant pipe.
Or if you want you can remove the 4g61 coolant tube and swap in a 4g63 coolant tube, with the 4g63 turbo coolant line will line up perfectly so you don?t have to bend it.

Don?t forget to transfer the o2 sensor over to the 1g hosing if yours did not already come with one

With the 14b bolted to both the mani and o2 hosing make sure the top oil line is bolted on and the rear coolant line is bolted on.

Line the turbo up connect the front coolant hard line on first
- exhaust mani to the head
- bottom oil line, make sure you have a new gasket.
- The top oil feed line (before bolting this line on u can prep the turbo and pore some oil into the top opening, you would need a little funnel or squirter to do this, if you don?t have you can just prime it as described later)

Depending on what your are going to do for an intercooler you will have to make the turbo output pipe fit. The stock rad fan can get in the way, but it will work if you put the air charge pipe on first before you bolt the 4g61 output pipe to the 14b. I am temporarily using the stock 4g61 turbo output pipe while I am waiting for my Front mount intercooler
You can get a slim rad fan for around $80

Just finish up, bolt everything back on, but don?t start the car yet. You need to prime the turbo. The easy way to do this is to pull the clip from your cam angle sensor, except 4g61 don?t make this so easy. The way I did it was to just pull the spark plug wires. Then crank the engine over for awhile so that the oil pressure builds and oil pumps into the turbo. The car won?t start this way, if you are worried about priming it do this for awhile. I did it for 15-20 seconds at a time, you could do longer. Just watch your oil pressure light to make sure you are getting oil pressure.


The stock exhaust is really small, and I love open dump, I took my exhaust down pipe and bolted one hole to the other side to hold it out of the way for when I want to rip 
