im heading 2 the junkyard soon to grab a couple of cores,i need a m90 blower and a lower intake manifold (i believe) for the zzp ssm90 kit. 2 questions,how hard is it 2 get these parts off and exactly what tools do i need?
 


You know i wish i could be more help. I know you will need a 15mm wrench for the tensioner for the belt (if it still has one)


I think the S/C bolt heads are actually allen heads. It's been so long since i have messed with stock ones since I have pretty much always been intercooled and needed the longer one's i'm not even sure if there different.

You'll need a flat head screw driver to take the clamp off for the air box.And I think the TB bolts are 10mm and you would need a socket for those.
 
I believe all the supercharger bolts are 10mm or 3/8. I think the LIM bolts are the same. TDC is right with the screw driver and 15mm. You will also need a 14mm I believe for the alternator bracket. I would just bring a set of sockets 10mm to 15mm deep and shallow. It would also be a good idea to bring an assortment of extensions and a u-joint.
 
take a metric socket set up to 15mm and down to 8 and that should cover it ok, screw driver or two and that should be it.
 
I just pulled an m90 off at the junkyard yesterday, theres a tricky bolt that has an extra nut on top if it by the throttle body. just remove all the 10mm things u can find if its a junkyard car anyway. Oh and *gently* pry the charger off u dont wanna crack it. If you give them a damaged core, they might not take it.

I love how on the l36 UIM it says "HIDDEN BOLT" and theres an arrow to nothing.... but none of them are hidden....

Unless you count the two in the LIM that are generally covered in oil.... but then why doesnt the M90 say that on it?

WHY DO YOU TAUNT US?!!@#

And for anyone who actually dares to respond, i know they're on the outside....
