hey guys, im doing a t25 on my b20/ls integra. they are water cooled and oil cooled. would it be okay if i just blocked the water lines and just ran oil through it? i need some pics and some more info on t25 hondas... please help me out..

 

Why don't you want to run coolant? it is better....

 

i just want to run one or the other not both. and i dont know how to run a coolant line.

 

why cant i ever get any help on this board? i used to all the time but now i dont at all...

 

You can run the coolant into the turbo by using the line that feeds the throttle body.

Are you using a t-25 from a 2nd gen eclipse?

 

i use a garrett t25. oil line only. i have no problems - used for a year. b18B. i just
capped off the cooliant lines.



gf took this pic when i had the turbo off for engine build up.
the oil out line is the tube at teh top. the in line is the blue L adn te other end.
my cooliant holes are plugged. unfortuanly you cant really see them in the pic.
hope this helps

it would be fine to run just oil through it... the oil u need... u dont really need the water lines... the water is only there to cool the turbo down as most people with stock turbo cars tend not to idle the motor before they shut it down... the water saves the turbo...

u dont even need to cap off the water inlet and outlet... all it is is a jacket around the entire housing itself... u can just leave them open... that is as long as u dont plan on using them in the future... otherwise debris may lodge itself in there if u eer wantd to use it

 

it's really easy to run a coolant line (bypass TB coolant lines)... The coolant will make the turbo last longer and will make you a bit more power, since it'll stay cooler. Not to flame, at all, but maybe you should check out some more online resources before you go turbo, since things like this are pretty common and can really help, just a thought.
