coolant lines setup
I am turboing my 1999 Civic Ex..and following some of the setup of the 2000 ex done on here, such as the coolant lines. If someone could post what I would need for a water line setup such as the one on here ( https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_projects/civic_ex/ ) that would be great. Im runnin a gt28r turbo, similiar to the t25 used.

Re: coolant lines setup
I would just leave the coolant lines off. 
I have never ran coolant lines to a turbo.

Re: coolant lines setup
i got the same question. im replacing my borrowed t3 with a 14b soon. and for me (a noob) coolant lines are just too complicated.now, can i just run it with oil? if yes, do i need to block off the coolant lines? or can i just leave them open? thanks

Re: coolant lines setup
theres 2 lines that come out of the firewall. http://thenew.gamesbbs.com/~turbosi/...EACV_2_640.JPG
one of them goes to the block. the other goes to the throddle body. you can use either one to feed the turbo and then return the line to thier respectice place ( tb or block ). very simple. id probobly use 5/8 hose.
hooking these lines up will eliminate the need for a turbo timer, and make your turbo last longer.

Re: coolant lines setup
Why spend like $1,000 on a GT28RS and then roast the bearings by not running coolant lines?
I've heard of people disconnecting the coolant lines to the throttle body and running them to the turbo. Check out www.atpturbo.com I think they did it on an Integra. Under vehicle specific or dyno's or somethin I think.
