I was jsut wonderring why knowbody on here ever talks about both oil and liquid cooling there turbo's.

Ive got both fittings just going to be sitting there useless and I was wonderring what it takes to make liquid cooling work effectively and why I should shouldnt do it.

Is it basically just like oil cooling? Just a feed and a return?

Can I just tee into a rad hose, I dunno, neeed some info

Turbo is a T3 .60/.63, motor is a D16a6

everyone has talked about it.

just use the water lines that go to and from your throttle body

Mine is water cooled, I took the one from the head and cut it in half and ran one to the feed and one to the return. Works like a charm.

So there isnt any gravity being used like we do for oil returns?

Im not getting it totally

in reality, if you think about it, if the oil lines are perpendicular to the ground, the oil return will be using gravity. But since the water lines are parralel, it doesn't matter which goes where really, b/c it will have the same gravitation on either side.

the pressure/flow from the water pump will force the coolant through the housing

Exactly, hence the reason for not having a drain, and that is why the in/out are parallel to the ground.

the stock water pump can handle that. just tee it inline with the hose that goes from your block to the throttle body. its not like its some big *** extra volume of water that has to be moved

yep, helps protect the turbo and ensure a long happy life of boosting

So it isnt really a feed/return line? I know there are a few small hoses on the back of the throttle body, say I tee into one of those lines, run it to one of the coolant fittings, then on the other fitting I..... run it where?

I dont even know where the coolant goes when inside of the turbo and if its aloud to stay there and such

Ill defientely do it for added assurance on a high boost daily driven setup

BTW- I do see you guys in almost every thread, HT ownz you

yea, lol we have no life

just take that fitting and run it back to the throttle body, or just bypass the throttle bosy and hook it up to the line that runs from the back of the throttle body.

The coolant goes around an external chamber cast in the housing. it never touches the oil or anything, just flows around the bearings and all

I have a life, but it is homework in front of the computer.... that always has honda-tech on it.

wantboost

iTrader: (2)

lol, homework???? whats that?

W O T

SO

I Tee into a line going to the t/b, run it to one side of the turbo, then with the return line can I tee it back into the same line I tee'd 3 inches earlier?

Just seems like the coolant on each side would be pushing pulling eachother and Id be stuck using hot coolant

wantboost

iTrader: (2)

yea, cut it. take the end rnu itto one side of the turbo, put a line on the other side ofthe turbo, then lead that one to the other end of the line you cut

edit:: dont t into it, do it like above

don't feel bad, I have had the turbo for my rx7 for 2 years.... I bought it 1.5 years before I even owned a civic.. its just soo easy to turbo a d-series civic.... compared to a carbed rotary.
