so i have a nissan 60 trim t3 turbo.
What if i only run oil to it and forgo water cooling?
will it lead to longevity issues?
could it cause coking?

or is the water cooling there because it is a production turbo and they don't want their customers to need to replace the turbo after 10 years?

 

i know im still considered a noob but search for the love of god man search
the one here is down but www.google.com is a hell of a thing
and no you dont have to run the water if you dont want too
*********
that is all

 

You'll be fine.

 

yeh, i know man. what right do i have with asking a question like this, it's much better that people rail me out, than to take the same amoutn of time and answer the question, that is of course assuming you know the answer.
i know i don't have to run water, but i am asking about the implications of not running water. I want to know from experience that someone has.

 

about 95% of hmt doesn't.

 

they made them both oil/water cooled for the reason you stated. They wanted them to last a good long while without burning up. the only reason youd ever need it is if you like to rip the ---- out of your system for awhile and shut it down as soon as you park your ride
it does promote longjevity and yet also does allowing your car to run for a couple of min when you get where the ---- ever it is your going
all in all its not "needed" at all but its your system run it or not its your call

 

you awnsered your own question

 

aight, that i did.
i guess that's why my post count is so low, i know that water holds heat more efficiently there for allowing the turbo to cool more gradually once the car is shut off, there for preventing coking of the oil.
