Hey all i need to find out where you take the coolant line off a 89 CRX Si for the turbo. i have read many sites but no luck yet. I searched this site as well. http://www.homemadeturbo.com. doesnt go into enough detail on where to get it from. And what size SS braided tubing to I buy and where from? THX a lot again.

 

try looking harder next time, its in there.! FAQ section!

Q - All of these lines and wtf do they do and were do they go?

A - Most newer turbos are Water & Oil cooled, on a honda I tap into the coolant passage off the throttle body and make a loop through the turbo and back to the t-body. This cools down the turbo. (any rubber fuel line should do the trick 5/16 3/8 about 7 feet)

For a oil line I use a high pressure rubber line (300psi) and use a brass T to splice off the back of the block where the oil pressure sensor is. (this is the oil feed line) For a oil return I poke a hole in the oil pan and spot weld a small 3/4 pipe. Then run a line from the bottom of the turbo to the oil pan, (this is oil return)

Charge lines can be made out of alot of things, I tried to use factory DSM /Conquest pipes for the most part, try not to use PVC pipe or anything plastic. I have used all kinds of things from radiator hoses/exhaust pipe/Brass elbows.. Try to stay over 1 3/4 inside diameter.
