i'm not a turbo guy myself...but my friend is installing a td05h turbo in his civic over in Australia and he wants to know how to hook up the oil and coolant lines...

i'm not too familiar with turbo but from his description...picture the turbo being mounted on a manifold and you are staring directly at it from the radiator perspective.

there is a nipple type connector on the top and bottom then a big hold in the middle?

what goes to what?

ok here is the actual picture.

can't see the pic, but there should be large threaded holes on 3 sides of the turbo's center section. the 4th side (the bottom really) should have an un-threaded hole (the oil drain) with two smaller threaded holes on either side (for bolts). because it relies purely on gravity, it's important that the oil drain face down and is as unrestricted as possible. the large threaded hole on the opposite side from the oil drain is the oil feed connection. the remaining two threaded holes are for coolant lines.

ok i sort of had the two drain and feed figured out...i'm confused about he coolant lines and how to hook up?

sorry about the bad picture.

Coolant lines are on the sides of the turbo. Min on my TD05H where close to 1/4". Didn't fit perfect so JB weld came to the rescue.
