ok i finished my turbo kit on my 93 del sol, runs awesome, so hard, no leaks or nothing, but i was wondering on how to water cool the turbo, the fitting is in the turbo but i duno wat to connect to it and where that connection would go to. any1 kno, i kno its not a must but its prob safer for the turbo.

 

run lines up to the throttle body and pull the coolant lines off the TB works good....

 

that wont make a difference if there are no coolant lines goin to the throttle body? wat do i do with the line that was connected to the tb already?

 

there is a coolant in and out line on the TB, pull those off and run them down to the turbo, it wont hurt the TB to have the coolant lines disconnected from it, it's really easy...

 

ok thanks man i thought it would b a bad idea that the tb had no lines connected to it

 

well, then just run the turbo in series w/those coolant lines. meaning have line go to turbo inlet, from turbo outlet to tb inlet, and then out of the tb. Its not gonna make much of a difference. good luck w/it. later,

When I had my water lines hooked up, I removed a coolant line that ran between the head/block to the TB. I ran a new line from the head/block to the turbo and then another line from the turbo back to the TB. Its really pretty easy to do. Use some good hose though... like 5/16" fuel hose.

I just disconnected mine. I'm really not sure if it was worth it or not. We'll see when the new season starts.

 

yea alot of people are telling me its not really worth the trouble its not gona make a difference and ---- like that but i jus want to have some more insurance, b/c its there already so i might as well hook it up.

 

The only reason to have the water lines going to the tb is to warm it up. Do you want to warm the air up right after it went through your intercooler to make it cold.

 

Hey Danny, Good to know that the car is runnig hard now. I take it that you fixed all the problems. I used the same TB lines to run to the turbo not hard at all. Give me a call if you need to know anything. I'll help if I can.
