I run my coolant line like this piece here.

Its perfect to say the least. Thats not a picture of my setup but it gives you an idea of how its suppose to go.

Real ballers just drill & tap their coolant plug with an NPT fitting, then dump it back to a spot after the t-stat. That keeps the fluid always rolling. For a road-race setup, you may want to have it go back just before the return hose, to keep zero hot water from recirculating.

The key thing is to make sure there is indeed a pressure differential between the source and the return spot. Some people have it as such that there's almost no water movement. Microbubbles from steam forming due to slow-moving water is worse than anything - it causes pump cavitation & allows for less presurization, among other things.

koo thanks but still not sure about the setup.....if anyone has better pix it would be more helpful....not in a rush but seem kind of confusing....

This has been covered about 1000 times, search things like coolant lines and you wil find alot.


I tee'd mine into the coolant hose that goes into the TB and I welded a bung on my radiator for the return

i honestly dont see whats confusing about those

Hey Jeff, what in your opinion would be the least ideal return location that will decrease water movement on the way to the return spot? I understand that the fitting on the front of the block is a pressurized spot for a good incoming source (although not the BEST one ), but im weary about flowing through the rad before the return journey, hence my question. Whats your take on that spot for a return?

huh ? you want to know the best place for the water Exiting the the CHRA, to be drained back into ?

what's wrong with draining it back into the radiator ? or the bottom rad hose ?
as long as water can get into the CHRA and out i dont see why it would matter to much. explain to me why it matters so much

Sorry. Double post (edited )

It does not matter, I was simply asking would it be a less than ideal spot, because I dont know. Thanks for clearing that up.

And the reason I asked about the least ideal location is because if I was to ever go BB, I wouldnt want to hinder coolant flow.

tony413

if you're feeding the water inlet from a pressurized source you should be fine mounting the outlet back into the radiator or tee'ing it to the lower rad pipe

Kool. Thanks, Tony.

i'm pretty sure i've seen and heard other setups on coolant lines, are there any others?
