coolant cooled instead of water cooled?
 

Hey, has anyone used coolant instead of water for the water cooled turbos? Or is it even possible? Or how about Freon cooled fromn the air conditioning?

Your best bet is to just lube up the bearing section with jello pudding. Chocolate seems to be the best. Put it in there and then use two threaded bolts to seal the inlet/outlet. That's the way I run it and it hasn't given me any problems yet. ;)

No, that was cocoa butter, but it didn't work as good as JP. ;)

i like to keep it ghetto and use dirt from my yard

Re:coolant cooled instead of water cooled?
 

Yep I've tried the dirt method myself and it works fairly good. you just have to make sure you pick out all the nightcrawlers and worms before starting your engine. Save them for a fishing trip or something :)

are u guys serious about the dirt?

sounds like it could work

Re:coolant cooled instead of water cooled?
 

dirt does work.. i know something better and it gives off a good smell of your choice!

put some chew (tobacco) in there and depends on what flavor you got but it'll smell that that everytime you start up and drive!!! berry blend is my favorite!

You guys are being assholes!

Here is what I did to water cool my turbo.

I bought a fuel cell from summit.I installed another radiator in front of my stock one.I ran lines from the now ater cell to the radiator.Then I went from the radiator to the turbo.I used my winshield washer reservoir pump to feed the water to the turbo.Its been running great!

Hope this helps

Jeez, such jackasses. It was just a suggestion. Thought it would be a good idea. That windshield wiper reservoir thing sounds like a good idea. I would've never thought of that. How about if you wanna clean your windshields while your driving though?
