ok i was wondering i have no heater in my car and have the heater outlets looped on my car. can i just hook up my turbo inlet to one and then the return to the other? will this work or just a waste of time?

Mines run with one side from the bottom of the radiator (cool water) and the other to the thermostat housing. Seems to be working fine.

There isn't any coolant flowing between those lines if it's looped. So hooking the turbo up isn't providing any coolant.

I purchased an alum radiator and had bungs welded to the top/bottom of it for my 30r.

Seems to work great.

the coolant system is always "flowing" and moving.
So no matter where you tap into it, it will move coolant..

The only benefit to having one line at the bottom of the rad and one at the top would be slightly lower temperature coolant..
IMO, its not enough of a difference to really make much difference..

mine runs from the port on the front of the block to the bottom of my radiator.

the fitting comes from B N Rfittings

Anyone has a DIY writeup or some kind of pictures of the water lines?

I will be getting a gt3076r and I want to make sure to do it right...

thanks.

it's not difficult but i will see what pictures i can find.

Do you need help with how to install the lines? or where to puit it?

you can use the bottom of the radiator and a block port or thermostat housing

yes cause i have the same one. I told you that in IM. with his kit he gives you the option of using a weld-on -6bung or a 12x1.50 -6 into your radiator

Yea, thanks Hybrid.

I plan on getting that kit. I just wanted to contact Mike over at Synapse to see if they have the line that connects to the Block Coolant Plug. Because on my d16y8, the plug is on the back of the block and in the picture and I would assume on other B series'; they are on the front. I know I can buy more line if I want.

I also realized that I really hi-jacked the OP's thread. I apologize for that man.
