how do i make my turbo water cooled..?? and..
 

i want my turbo to be water to air cooled how do i do that wat do i need and does it help? i plan to run this to a t3/t4 turbo..

if the center cart. is not setup for watercooling you cant run it. it helps keep the turbo cooler (coolant basically flows aroudn the center cart to displace the heat).

Is it worth it? Where would the coolant feed from and return to?

usually off the throttle body line

or you could plumb it inline with the heater core if you know which one is the feed for the heater core.

sounds like he means water-air intercooled maybe

spray it with a garden hose. you people are dumb

Re: how do i make my turbo water cooled..?? and.. (dornon13)
 

yes that is wat i mean.. is thier another kind of watercooled

Thats not making your turbo watercooled, thats having a air/water intercooler, watercooled turbos are completely different.

you cannot tap lines into the turbo to make it water cooled you have to buy a turbo that has these fittings/design built into the center rotating assembly ( for you .. the middle part of the turbo thingy)


to set your car up tofor a WATERCOOLED INTERCOOLER. basically what it is is .. do you know what a front mount intercooler looks like ? most of the ones you see on street cars are air-to -AiR intercoolers meaning. it works like a radiator. and BOOSTED air goes down the tubes of the intercooler and air passing through the fins cool it down. exactly like a radiator.


WATER to air. same design. however. the fins are boxed in and water runs trhough the fins to cool it down instead of air.

- advantages youc an use ICE COLD WATER to cool it down, brings down IAT's dramatically. and of course shorter intercooler piping

CONS- not good for a street setup, its a lotta lines and what not to run. when daily driving, an air to air is better and more efficient because of course the water heats up and doesnt dissapate heat as fast.

thanks u didnt have to dumb it down though... well i planned to keep my a/c and i heard if u run a/c and turbo i can over heat the car iam trying to find alternate ways to keep the engine from over heating..

by running a water cooled turbo you're not really protecting it from overheating prob more prone to overheating because of the excess heat from the center section. however by runnin an air to water intercooler you can kinda defeat it a lil bit cuz the intercoolers not blocking air to the radiator.

just by reading the posts i figured you didnt understand turbo setups too much so i tried to make it a lil easier for you and most other people to understand.

thanks.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif so wat can i do to expell the heat more effeciantly..?

with a bigger raditor

does that work with my a/c..

Obviously from all your posts he did have to dumb it down for you... there are so many threads throughout this forum that will tell you exactly what you need to know... all you have to do is read like most of us do...
good luck

running and air to water intercooler will be beneficial in engine cooling due to theres no big ass intercooler in front of the radiator robbing it from fresh cool air passing through it.


a better way to making your engine run cooler is take the thermostat and drill a slightly larger hole into it. also run straight distilled* water and a bottle of water wetter to help protect against corrosion.

i've been running a/c with my turbo setup for 2 years w/stock radiator and no overheating problmes here https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
