#88362, "RE: Watercooling MEEE TURBO mate!!! WARNING LONG POST WITH MY THOUGHTS" In response to In response to 17
Water flows through the heater core all the time. There isn't a shutoff valve. What turns the heat off on the inside of the car are doors that close off the air coming through the heater core. Here are some pics of my setup. I ran -8 AN line from the thermostat housing to the hard line then split the hard line after the heater core into -6 AN and -8 AN lines. I also put in a ball valve in the -8 AN line so that I can control the flow through the heater core, because I was worried about the heater not working efficient in the cold weather because of the small ports in the turbo not letting the water as much. So in the winter I can open the valve to let more water flow throught the heater core if needed.
On the hards line I welded AN fittings and pipe threads to be able to hook the lines to.
