Hi all

Well ia m currently running a gt35r and at the moment fitting an oil cooler, whilst doing this i am going to water cool the turbo now

so what i am wondering is how some of you guys have done this, if any pictures they would be most welcomed

cheers phil

 

kinda hard to see the lines, hope this helps

 

this port is the stock water pipe whole with a new fitting, am i right ?

where does the return line go, back around under the throttle body area ?

sorry for questions

 

i spliced the 2 stock rubber hoses that go to the stock oil cooler. and ran a t off of them to the turbo.

 

kinda what i am doing andy,

i have changed the stock oil cooler for a 19row setrab cooler, and the water lines that were going to the stock oil cooler i was going to route to the turbo, i was just checking to see if thats what people did and you seem to be on the same wave

 

yes phil you are correct on the 2 questions u had, the other line wraps around to the other side, u can see it better in these pics

 

Wait...am i reading this right? You have been running your 35r without water cooling and are just deciding to do it now?

 

hay dont flame me

this is how i got the car back etc so hence i am doing some things to it

 

As a word of advice, I would try to use steel braided lines near the turbo. On my Nissan, I used rubber lines and they eventually cracked (due to the heat making them hard and brittle) after about 4-5 years. No fun sitting at the gas station with coolant spewing out of cracked water lines!

 

You do not need to cut 2 hoses to do this. All you had to do is take one coolant tube off one side of the oil cooler and run it to the turbo and out of the turbo back into the oil cooler. This way, all you're doing is adding the turbo between one of the oil cooler coolant lines. That's the easiest way to do it.
