So I just purchased bills Hahn turbo. Planning on installing it next weekend. My question is what else do I need to install it? I have basic tools... I'm assuming i need a tapping kit? @Dave@DDMWorks did the uninstalling... Could you possibly fill me in on what was left on bill's ss? I assume the actual tap itself was left, so I would need to purchase one... Where could I get one? Size? Etc etc...
Just bought bill's used Hahn turbo... What else do I need to buy?

@rabtech - here you go - another Hahnite to take under your wing - he needs guidance - hhelp him out please

Well you could start by making friends with your local tire store and see if the buy 3 get one free works for the rear tire since you'll be changing the rear tire every oil change

Congratulations! To both of you!

I need to see what turbo parts you have in front of you. Once I see what all your have I can tell you what you will need . Also @Slingrazor is the one who removed it I believe. He may have more info for you. Best thing to do is lay all the stuff you have on a clean white towel so it has contrast and snap a few pictures of it all. Then post it here. Once u do that I can tell you everything you will need to install it.

Everthing from the system was removed and put in the boxes except maybe one item. Was there an oxygen sensor with it? I think Bill kept it on his for his AFR readout.
You will need to replace the exhaust manifold to Turbo mount studs and nuts because they are not in good shape. You will also need the fitting for your oil return line.
It would help if someone could do some detailed pictures for you. -
I'll just have to wait til it gets here next week... Was hoping to get a jump on the parts that I need so I could install it next weekend...ill open it up and take pics as soon as it arrives
Haha... Patience grasshopper... I know you're eager for power and the rush, but do it right... A blown engine is no bueno...

I hear you on a couple of those things! Toddlers (3) and wife (moody)!

Mine is drilled. It is freaky if you think about it, but remove those thoughts and concentrate on drilling the hole slow and straight (using a lot of grease to catch the aluminum shavings. It really isn't that bad. The block has the boss cast into the block so all you have to do is drill in the center of it and use the proper size bit and tap.
Note: I think Noel pumps air into the EMPTY oil pan, so any pieces are blown out and not down inside the pan when he does them

Hahn recommends allowing about 1 week to get the ECU shipped off, reflashed and returned. Bob at OBD Diagnostics charges $500 for the turbo reflash (be sure to specify you have the Hahn turbo). Also include shipping for the return or add $10 (per the OBD website). I mailed my ECU 8 days ago and it hasn't gotten back yet. I didn't buy extra insurance, but replacing the ECU isn't cheap and I wonder if I should have.
Noel Hughes wrote that they drill an old oil cap to accept an air fitting and then pressurize the oil pan to (hopefully) blow out any drill shavings. Don't forget to use lots of grease in the drill flutes once you get about halfway in. Also use lots of grease during the tapping process.
Another option is to contact Hahn about their pre-modded oil pan.It's $250 with $150 back when you send back your old oil pan. It also requires a different oil return line/connector and you need to swap the internal oil pan components from your old pan to the modded pan.

drill the block. Best way. Easy also

@Bill Martin, what happened to the exhaust that went with that turbo?
-
But didn't u drill the pan? @rabtech
I had to drill my pan with the Alpha setup... With my Hahn I drilled my block. AND on my new engine build at DDM I always drill and tap the port in the block. Doesn't matter if you need it or not. When the engine is on the stand and the pan is off I would think it foolish to not drill and tap the block. I just put a 3/8 NPT plug in the hole.
The reason alpha drills the pan (in my opinion) is because the turbo sits lower and won't drain if you use the block location. The Hahn sits up higher and drain perfectly into the block hole.
