Hello bud, do you know what torque the plugs need please, been plooking everywhere and can not find it :/

[@TK42138]

Hi, when you say 'plugs' do you mean spark plugs or glow plugs?

Hi. Any ideas where the boost solonoid is on an early T30 2.2 diesel sport ? 2003 to be exact.

[@TK42138]

Hi, if yours is the D.i version then it has an internally wastegated turbo - probably an IHI so it won't have a separate boost pressure sensor or turbo actuator solenoid. If turbo isn't boosting need to check for intercooler leaks, split or loose intercooler hoses, split waste gate hose on turbo, stuck EGR valve. They can and will suffer oily carbon buildup which can cause them to seize up. With regards to turbo itself, you can check for wear by removing turbo inlet pipe and seeing if compressor wheel is rattling around, damaged, seized or full of oil - which indicates worn turbo seal and bearing.

@@TK42138 Thank you. Seems pretty straight forward.

Can you tell the time take to take off turbo, please

[@TK42138]

I allowed a day because there are other components to remove even before the exhaust manifold nuts can be accessed. You may find the exhaust downpipe/diesel catalyst heatshield retaining bolts have rusted so that might slow up the procedure. I was lucky with the exhaust nuts because they didn't seize up however the turbo CHRA retaining bolts on the housing did put up a fight. I had to order new bolt set which wasn't expensive.

Will this motor fit in a 2001 Sentra transmission

[@TK42138]

Probably not since the DCi engine in the T30 is a YD22 diesel lump and as far as I know, no 5th Gen Sentra had this diesel engine. Having said that, the 2.5 petrol QR25 unit is similar overall size to the YD22 but it would take a lot of work to make it fit.
