almost ready, minor things now :D
 

ok heres the question. my turbo is off of a nissan 1.8 liter turbo, and its water cooled. i know tuner toys has the d series adapter that i can use to run water to the turbo. where am i going to return it to though? would i also have to make a adapter to my radiator return? i dunno how im gonna do this lol. i guess the turbo has a t2 flange :-\ and not a t3 flange. i also need to know the thread size and pitch on the back of the d15b1 block so i can get some fittings to run my oil pressure gauge. any help would be nice.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

Dude, use the throttle body coolant lines, just disconnect those and hook them up to the turbo.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

can anybody else elaborate on this. i understand what you mean but will it be enough coolant to keep my turbos temp. down.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

and will it ---- with anything the throttle body has that needs that coolant?
thats pretty interesting, i think i would try that.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

use the TB lines. easy. if you are really concerned run it like this:


Coolant into TB --- TB --- line to turbo --- turbo --- line to where the TB out would go.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

the lines to the throttle body are only for super cold days to heat up the air going to the engine for drivability crap. aka rip that ---- out

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

this is how i did mine
pump -> IAC -> TB -> turbo -> line that came out of TB and went back to engine

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

ok guys sounds good to me. i guess thats where ill be running the lines from. seems everyone uses them.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

hit up stealthmode for the fitting for the back of the block

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

thanks, ill take a visit to his site.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

yep no sweat

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

ok so im getting ready to buy an oil line kit then Mr. Stealth desides to hit me with this question.....

im not sure of the exact answer to give him. i thought a t25 used its own flange. does anyone know for sure if its a t25 flange for oil fittings and ----,or is it a t3. i know my exhaust inlet is not a t3, its way to ------- small. can someone help me out. im also gonna continue to search for the answer. thanks

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

well still no oil line kit..... but i have most the items i need to install my turbo. im finishing up my custom gaskets and piping. im still waiting on my FMIC if i ever get it. i have installed 1 of my gauges so far, the other 2 shall be here tomorrow and will be installed to save time later down the road. i also have a question about a air/fuel ratio gauge on a NA car. does it constantly sweep back and forth because its NA and not turbo with a constant a/f ratio? its a bright ------ gauge to be doin that all time.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

t2 t25 t28 same inlet flange

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

kool thanks, that helps me out some. i also have one other question. my buddy thats gonna help me tune lives in canada, and hes willing to meet half way to help. he wants me to install the turbo kit except for the injectors and one charge pipe so i dont go into boost. i dont think that is such a good idea though. he said i should be fine keeping it normally aspirated with the turbo on but not boosting with stock injectors and no chargepipe installed. when we do meet he wants to install injectors, install charge pipe, and chip the ecu then start tuning. im just concerned about my turbo because i have a 4 speed trans and a solid 70-80 mph puts me at 3500-4000 rpms cruising. i dunno what to do......

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

If your car will do 75 mph with no turbo Id imagine it would be fine because you are just maintaining speed, itll spool just enough to let that exhaust out and if you got all the oil lines on I dont really see a problem...

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

block the charge pipe or something so you have backpressure on the compressor so you don't over rev the turbo and turn your charge piping into a container for aluminum cornflakes.

you can't run around with a turbo and no chargepipe, either disconnect the wg so it's open or take the turbo off

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

yes that was my plan to disconnect the wastegate and loop the turbos compressor outlet back to the inlet of the turbo to create a loop effect.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

---- coolant. That's just more ---- clutter up your engine and and more things to go wrong. I like less is more.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

you can't do that and not build pressure. you'll still spin ---- around just as fast if you don't add air., you need to either clamp a big washer for backpresssure, or set it with a wastegate on the charge pipe

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

sorry that my words confused you lol, i do that a lot. Though!!! i do understand what you are saying.

i need to either block off the charge pipe and run my bov and wastegate set at a low psi

or "clamp it with a big washer" like you say which still lets air out, builds back pressure and the bov and waste gate are controlled via a boost controller set to a low psi. correct me if im wrong again, i know im a :1 when things are not explained precisely, sorry.

i am also able to loop the compressor outlet to the inlet of the turbo with a bov, and run a wastegate with it like you say?

thanks complex. your helping a lot if ya dont think ya are. honestly!!

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

if you look compressor to compressor there is no air being added to build boost. you'll still over rev.

as long as you can get air ino the turbo, that hasn't already taken a trip through the turbo, you're good to go.

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

ok i think now ill go with you said the first time. a nice sized washer to cover the hole on the charge pipe and make sure the wastegate and bov are in working order. ahh HMT is such a great place.....im a ;D :8 right about now...

Re: almost ready, minor things now :D
 

bov need not work, you already have a vent to atmosphere. a 1/2" hole should work fine
