Ok, i have begun my Drag 3 turbo install, and i have been asking about these threaded holes on the side of my turbo, and many have replied that i have a water-cooled turbo, and that Drag 3's are supposed to be oil-cooled only turbos?

Here's a previous thread i started, and the picture shows exactly what my turbo looks like with the holes on the side. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=140305
Thanx

Ben@importparts already answered your question right here

did you somehow miss this reply?

 

 

no, if you look at the previous thread, it seems that i have gotten a water-cooled turbo, look at the picture in the linked thread.

 

I did...the pic looks normal to me.

 

Really? Well you see the oil feed line in the top, the oil drain line would be on the bottom, now there's a hole on the side of the casing, facing directly towards you, what hooks up to this hole?

 

ahh I see what you are saying....is the hole on the side threaded?

 

Yep, there's a hole on both sides, opposite of each other.
Hole is just a little smaller than the oil drain line.

 

You have a watercooled center section. Either run coolant lines to it or leave them open to the air.

 

 

I would run coolant lines. I know that some kits do not have water cooled turbo's but it is safer for the berrings and you do not need to let it idle as long after a hard run. The water keeps the center section cooler, so the oil does not carbonize and ruin the berrings.

Hell, why not run them????

Ok, if i do decide to run them, what would they hook up to??
Also if i got the wrong center section, then what's to say i didn't get the wrong turbo period, like A/R and trim?

 

Mitsu turbo's on a honda...noooooooo jk.

 

I am using a Mitsu t25 on my ZC with no problems. WAY CHEEPER than a using one of these Drag thing a ma bobs. Yes it is tiny compared to a T3 but is CHEEP.

There is a line that runs from the EACV to the TB and the TB back into the block. You can run a line from the EACV to the TURBO and then have it run from the TURBO to the Block. Easy as pie, and way better than no water line.
