OK, now I am about to go turbo.. finally! :-)...

So I looked it up, I thought there werew 5 inlet/outlets. It turned out to be 1 was just a plug. Now there are 4.

Now, I know that one is for the oil line. It has a hole, and on either side, there is a small hole for the screws, I guess. The question is, the oil is coming to the turbo, but how would the oil be going back? There is only 1 inlet/outlet for the oil, is there a return line for it?

Now, about the water/coolant line. There are 3 inlet/outlets for them. I know these are water lines because they are threaded, unlike the oil line. Now, the question is if the water returns back to the main line were I am planning to tap it from (in front of the block).
Why is there 3 coolant lines? Do I get a T-tap thing that has a 3 way, so it goes to all 3 holes?

Hmm.. wonder if that helped..

I can't see the pic...

Sorry about having no pictures..
I got these from the guy who I bought the turbo from..

Sorry that I did a bad job in paint :-)..

Pic of the oil in/outlet..


Pic of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Coolant Passage..


Pic of the oil in/outlet and the plugged hex bolt..


Question:
Should there be 1 inlet for the oil and 1 outlet for the oil? I was thinking no, but how does the oil get back into the system?
Now, why are there 3 passages for coolant? Shouldn't there be only 1 (or 2, the second one being a return line)?

Thanks

It's hard to tell from the pics, that's a strange lookin' turbo. I can tell you how my Garrett T3 is set up though. There is an oil inlet on the top and an oil dump on the bottom. The oil dump is bigger. On the front and back sides are the water taps. One inlet and one outlet. Hope that helps you some.

To sum it up, there are 2 oil lines and 2 water lines.

Yep, your oil drain is that one that has the large opening, with the 2 small bolt holes in it. The oil feed port *may be on the direct opposite side of the drain, I know it is on the S16G. The coolant lines will be on the opposite side of the oil ports, if that makes any sense. I dont know specifics on that turbo, so hopefully others can give more accurate info.

Through two if the holes you should be able to see inside of the housing, those are your oil lines. The other two should just appear to make an abrupt turn and go nowhere, those are your water lines. Its hard to explain, but the oil goes inside to lubricate the turbo, the water doesn't actually enter the turbo. Make sense?

Yeah, the oil lubricates the turbo, and the coolant cools the turbo.. that makes sense :-)..

Were does the oil go to when it comes out of the turbo?

Where does the coolant go to when it comes out of the turbo?

Were do you tap the oil from? I thought it would be the oil pan(?).

Where do you feed the oil back to? I know you can use a T-fitting to tap it from the front of the block, but where do you put it back?

Can you give me some specific dimensions of the T-fitting?

Thanks

>Were does the oil go to when it comes out of the turbo?

To the oil pan, you have to tap the oil pan.

>Where does the coolant go to when it comes out of the turbo?

Back to the coolant line that you're getting the coolant from. You can use the coolant line that runs in front of the head.

>pan(?).

You need a pressurized source for oil. The pan is not pressurized. Use a T-fitting at the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block.

Oil pan.

>Can you give me some specific dimensions of the T-fitting?

I'm not sure of the fitting thread sizes, but just remove your oil pressure sensor and take it to a hardware store and get some brass fittings that match up.

The oil pressure sensor and therefore the hole in the block is 3/8"

good job dougie =)

Hey MotoFool..
I couldn't catch you on AIM.. so..

Just Wondering..
How much do you want for your advanced oil kits? I checked the site, but it didn't have the price for the advance oil kit..

Also, what is the difference between the advanced and regular?

Thanks

~Tacoman

Both of these are threaded. Now, the one that goes in, and just stops and turns the coolant (#2).. right?

And the one that goes pretty deep (#1), thats oil.. right?

Hole #1 is where the oil goes in, and it comes out of this hole.. correct?..


Thanks
