UPDATE: i ran the car with the new coolant hard lines, no issues so far, went out last Friday ran the car very hard, without any problems... lines are working fine, and i'm not losing any coolant.

the only bad news, my car is down form a "money shift " =/

 

That sucks. How bad is it?


I'll post up as soon as I get my lines. I hope this will fix the coolant leak!

 

oh wow im really sorry to hear that!!

 

every time i think about it i go ,, will see next month once i take the car to the shop... according to the shop i'm looking to spent like $1300

i'm crossing my fingers that i didn't drop a valve, or else bye bye to the laskey block

Sarek: please update with your new lines..

 

Who makes those banjo fittings for the coolant lines?

 

several
member Roi on this thread

eBay - see post above

Inline Pro

or get them at ATP Turbo , then use -6AN couplers + 45* bulkhead fittings + -6AN hose

 

Have a look at page #3, I made these. (nickel plated)
Let me know if I can help

Sorry for re-opening this thread, but I just wanted to make sure i understand how to do the coolant lines... Basically I could run it from the oil cooler source to the turbo (From front of block).. Then from turbo back into the block ( where oil cooler goes back into engine..... So in doing this I would basically just skip the oil cooler correct??? Does that mean I should take it out (not sure if possible or not) or if I should just leave but with no feed.. Hope this makes sense what I tried to explain.And sorry if this is a dumb question.. I am just not positve from what I have searched.. thanks

yes this is how i did it

i used the stock water feed from the side of the block into the turbo and then the water bypass on the front of the block onto the turbo, then ran a sandwhich plate for the oil lines to the oil cooler






i will try and take some better pics tomorrow for you

 

Yah thanks.. It's still kinda hard to tell what's going on since it is so crowded... I have this picture from when I first started my turbo install.. It may make it a little clearer for me.....

Basically I put the coolant turbo feed in red.....

The Return in Green

And the yellow is the oil cooler that I remove and just have the oil relocation peice fluch against block???

It is still not the best pic but may get the point accross of what I think is the correct way???...



thanks again guys
