for an hrc turbo there is no point. even hrc will tell you that.

No point?

I fail to see where adding water coolant through the heart of a 1500+ degree turbo is totally without point. And I can't believe HRC would say that. Perhaps for only 5 or 6 psi, there is "no point", but I would believe that adding water cooling might really help things in terms of the longevity of the turbo and lessen the the amount of time needed to "turbo time."

is the oil from your motor that it's normally cooled by run all that much warmer then the water temp?

I plan on doing this as well. Probably at the same time as I pull the head. I think it's a great idea, and will probably help keep my oil from breaking down so quickly.

I have mine water cooled..how can it hurt? You just tap into the heater line that comes back from the fire wall along the drivers side of the engine and then goes down to a lower radiator line....there's a nice rubber splice right there for you and everything. One of the easiest things you can do to help keep your turbo happy IMO.

my vehicle has an engine oil cooler hehe..

although I do not know if the turbo (pictured below) is cooled by water or oil..

interesting tid bit for you all... you guys talk about not getting the EGT's over 1600degrees... well on a motor like mine.. ya don't want the EGT's to ever go above 1350degrees.. hehe..
I think you all are NUTS

Ok guys get back on topic. I still haven't see any useful pics (no offense Nate but I can't see crap in those pictures in where you tapped water lines and how you did it).

Can I drive over too, Dino? I will leave now.. maby I can make it by sunday, hehe

Thura, you would tap into the short rubber line down in front of the trans. It connects to the main water pump line and feeds the heater core I believe. The flow of water through the turbo does not matter, it can go both ways. Get two NPT fittings with hose barbs and some coolant line. Remove that small hose and redirect the coolant through the line. Your HVAC is now a turbo cooler.

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

This is mine

Justone, what type of fittings did you use on the pipes to be able to have an male fittings to put the hoses on?

-"Easy Mac"

Off the pipes you need -10 nuts and sleeves then a -6 male to -10 male reducer (or what ever size you want to reduce to). The hose ends are -6 and the ends into the cartridge are 1/4 npt to -6 male. The stuff on top going into the thermostat housing is all -10.

You also need a flare tool to make the steel pipes work w/ the nuts and sleeves.

all in all a very easy mod but not cheap to do the way I did it.

Where can I get the fittings from?

HRC S16G. FMIC. 8.5:1 JE PISTONS. CROWER RODS.
