i have a gt35 and will be tuning so, do i NEED to run the water lines, also do i run an oil restrictor on the feed line?

 

yes, you want to take every needed precaution running that turbo. Be sure to run the water lines and correct restrictor

 

less heat... more power... longer life... Why not?

 

you don't NEED to. but definitely get some hooked up sooner or later your turbo will love you back. and also i found out that my gt28 has a built in restrictor and i believe all of the GT series does so no need for a restrictor. i can post a pic of the inlet nipple if you guys would like.

 

For the GT35R, YES, run the water lines. On the ball-bearing systems, there is still a lot of friction in the CHRA and the water lines dissapate that additional heat, allowing oil to perform its main purpose; lubrication.

The correct restrictor is .035" to use with this turbo. Yes, you must run this additional restrictor with your turbocharger.

 

ok thanks,

 

can i see some water line setups?

look at post #9, shows the spots to tap into for coolant lines. i suggest the kit from b&r, good stuff

 

Yeap I got the B&R setup also. I highly recommend it!!

 

not trying to flame here,just inform. If you search you will find many pics and ideas for the water lines. There are several different ways to do it, some easier than others, but all serve the same purpose...

 

i just searched myself earlier and found some interesting kit setups. bump for water cooling

 

yea, there are some interesting places to source the water from and return it to...

 

anyother pics?

 

i got 3 days to do this, can i tap into the bottom of the radiator?

 

yes some people have done that. you could could install a fitting in the drain bolt hole to avoid welding if you wanted.

here is a great thread on water lines. https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...hlight=coolant
