water and oil cooled
 

i think my chrysler turbo t3 is water cooled and oil cooled do i have to water cool it ? or can i block the water ports off and just use oil? there are yellow ports on the top and bottem then 1 water hole on the left and right side ? i only have 4 ports so i dont kno where my internal wastegate goes?

It will work without running coolant to it, but the coolant increases the life of the turbo.

as long as you let it idle after driving hard before you turn it off, or drive easy the last few miles, you'll be fine

do i block it off? or leave it open? and does it have 2 holes one for inlet and outlet i cant figure out where my wastegate hooks up to

just run lines from your turbo to tb coolant inlet, then from the tb to turbo outlet yo, so it recircualtes, thats what i did, turbo still works on my friends civic and it had like 130k when i got it...

I have the same perdicament with my 14b...So do you block the holes off or leave em open?

Re: water and oil cooled
 

you can leave them open.

wouldnt crap get into the turbo if they were left open?

i ran the IACV out to the 2 bungs on the del sol vtec radiator (what the hell are those for btw, im assuming tranny cooler or something, but they make a VERY nice precooling setup as it goes straight thru the outlet side of the radiator) into the turbo inlet, and the outlet back to the water pump tube.

btw nothing is gonna get into the turbo, the coolant lines only go to a little housing that sits next to the center section, so the coolant cools it via simple metal-water heat transferral. it doesnt vent into any internal bearings, etc. of the turbo. if the turbo was designed to be water-cooled, and its easy as hell to get coolant there, why the hell wouldn't you?
