How To Install Sr T25 On My Motor

the stock turbo on my ca18et blew, so im replacing it with a sr t25 and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what im going to need to do it.

wrenches and sockets and sandwiches

bout it!

I know on the dual cam ca you have to clock the compressor housing slightly for the sr t25, I'm not sure about the ca18et though.

Ok first off, get yourself some of these stubby wrenches:



You'll need the to remove the turbo manifold from the head.

You'll also need these:





Then you'll need to modify the stock airpipe.



Next, you will need to modify a couple things. You will first need to cut off the tabbed end of the pipe (the circled area on the right), and get a short, 2" stick of pipe welded to the end.

You'll need some truck radiator hose or a silicone coupler to mate to the turbo outlet. This will reposition the airpipe more towards the shock tower, but it will still clear. You need to also cut a longer coupler for the top part (circled on the left), because the pipe will be repositioned.

Napa truck supply will have straight pieces of truck radiator hose in various diameters, including the two diameters you need.

Others may have a better idea but this works. Most people tho are gonna tell you to just add an intercooler and that will resolve the pipe connection issue.

thank you arro that helped

just did this... very much worth it!
I had to make an adapter for my oil return as well and the water line closer to the fender was a pain to get on but it will fit.

what did the adapter consist of and how much did it cost u?

I made a plate with pipe thred in it and used the stock pipe... But my dads a machinest so that was the easiest thing for me to do ... Might be a better way... I can post a pic if you want?

yea that would be nice if you could i know a friend that has a machinist buddy
