Coolant/Cooling Lines

[Kyle Kemp]

Alright so doing my build and changing alot of stuff. I finally have a "90" oil filter housing so now my 6 bolt timing cover will hopefully fit finally. The new housing is obviously oil cooler cooled not water cooled anymore. On my water pipe i have an outlet by the alternator that use to go to the filter housing and the other one from the housing went to 1 of the 2 on the turbo. I then have another outlet on the water pipe thats in the left corner by the corner of the head that goes to my thermostat, then the 2nd line from the thermostat goes to the 2nd inlet on the turbo.

Essentially what im asking is can i run the outlet on the water pipe by the alternator directly to the turbo?? I dont know if there's a specific way im suppose to do all this but maybe i'll get proper cooling after this if it was wrong in the past.

UPDATE:

Alright so here's my coolant lines and turbo, i have the one left over port on the water pipe on the right and the front coolant line off the turbo left. They use to go to the 2G oil cooler. How can i route this the most efficient way and cleanest way. Could i run the rear outlet on the turbo to the far right port on the water pipe and the front turbo to the thermostat??

Thanks!!

no, I belive that one can be blocked off if you are not using coolant into your oil cooler anymore?

You need an in and an out to the turbo.  The in is usually a threaded metal fitting/pipe that comes off the large water pipe, just under, say, #4 spark plug? 

As long as you have an outlet for the water, you should be good.

Turbos need water in, water out, oil in, oil out, air in, air out, exhaust in and exhaust out.

Thanks, where would i run my coolant out too??

[John Hartman]

there should be one from the tstat housing that can be used for that.

You are welcome to come over and have a look at how mine is routed.

Kyle:

I've converted my 90 w/ 16g to run braided hose with an adapters.

For oil, the oil feed is replaced with an adapters and 4an hose to the top of the turbo. Oil drain is 8an with flange adapter fittings from bottom of turbo to oil pan.

Coolant flows from tstat housing (which was drilled and tapped for an adapter) to back of turbo and drains from front of turbo to water pipe on the left side near where coolant hose to rad is.

I'll try and take pics this afternoon if weather is even half-decent.

When I bought my talon the turbo didnt have the waterlines hooked up to the turbo. unfortunately my coolant pipe had been modified and no longer had the T which is used to route the water from the turbo , back into the cooling system. So all I did was route my water feed from the front port on the thermostat housing, and I ran a return line to a T into the waterline entering the rear of the thermostat housing,  My setup has worked fine with no cooling or heating issues. as long as there is a pressure difference, then the water will flow thru the turbo just fine.

I have a small length of hose with a bolt in the end. I still use the stock lines for the turbo. A couple of hose clamps and your done.

No help???

Pressure differential. The water will pretty much flow however you run it.
