Coolant Line Turbo Pics
well i always block the coolant lines on the turbo off.
On my new setup i thought, it couldn't hurt if i connected them.
I have disgined the coolant lines with a fellow HT member(netherlands).
What do think of it?

Re: Coolant Line Turbo Pics (BoostedJeff)
thanks.
do you maybe know the npt thread on the turbo coolant inlet/outlet? so i can order the right connector from summit. the pipe OD is 15mm i think that a 10-an hose must fit(with an eco-clamp).

Turbo timer is great, but it will never be better than a watercooled turbo. The turbo timer will only prevent oil from coking.
Just from the fact that the turbo will always run cooler with the coolant flowing though the turbo is a good enough reason to run water lines. Oil temps will also stay lower.
I have another turbo car that does not have coolant lines (a T66)... After the car did a dyno pull, the compressor housing is hot enough to give you some serious burns.
On my Integra with a watercooled turbo, I could actually lay my hand on the compressor housing for a sec right after a dyno pull. That is how much cooler the turbo runs.
It's definitely worth the effort

Re: Coolant Line Turbo Pics (Tony the Tiger)
That is the cleanest/best way I have seen yet. good job. I plan on doing a similar routing for my oil feed. There is no reason to have a stainless line draped around the motor IMO.

Re: (blackANESE)
Are you going to run fittings and braided lines on the turbo. I am currently running rubber hoses and the amount of problems it has given me is ridiculous. I would so like to run steel 5/8's or 1/2 piping directly from the turbo and then connect rubber say about a foot or so back. Just to keep the rubber from always melting or the hose clamps from allways comming loose. ARgh!!!

looking good calvin...
The water inlet+outlet on my t3 + t3/t4 both had some kind of flange held to the turbo with two bolts - I just cut a piece of 1/4" plate steel with the plasma cutter to be vaguely the right shape, welded a section of pipe to it, pressed it flat again and then cleaned it up in the grinder. Worked well enough, but probably not quite as elegant as what you're looking for.
