I've read mixed views aboout where to tee off lines for the coolant lines on a water cooled turbo.....near throttle body and heater core lines. Does one have an advantage over the other and Anyone have pics of their setup

 

tb

 

thanks

that's where I got my coolant to flow into my turbo.

 

and everything works well with it off the tb?

 

bump for more info and possibly pics

I'd like to know too..

 

tappin in near the TB is good because the line is either right off the rear water pipe which is a good feed off the waterpump.

 

thanks for the advice

 

anyone got decent pics of how they ran theirs?

Do you have to run the coolant lines for the GT turbos?

No.

On my D series, there is a small water hose that runs from the intake manifold to the throttle body. You throw that hose away and run a water line from the manifold to the turbo, then the other turbo line to the throttle body. Piece of cake.

 

sounds good,thanks

anyone have pics of the water lines ran for the Gt2871r?

For Pics

 

For those of you that are water cooled, how much are your coolant temps affected? I'm doing some research into a setup for HPDE's but am afraid 30 minutes of lapping on a water cooled turbo could get way to hot to be able to handle it.

 

need more info and pics

You don't HAVE to, but for longevity of that bearing system, for what you've paid for, you'd better...

 

I hear that my gt2871r was not cheap. I hurd that tuner toys has a water cooler kit but they are all out of them. does anyone know of anywhere else that you can get one.

 

I don't have any experience with the gt's but i'm imagining with a little amount of fab any small cooler should work. ie one from a bike or even on made for like psor oil. Do you have a bigger radiator and fan though. Because tons of more heat is created by exaust gasses throughout the system than cooling lines on a turbo. If your concerned I'd look at my radiator and fan .

 

I would like to see pics of this as well. On a DSM it is much easier considering they are factory turboed and come water cooled. Bump for a pic.
