Where to tap into for water cooling?
 

I was wondering where you can tap into for water cooling for my turbo. What kind of hose do you use? Have pics how you ran the hoses? Thanks

You should REALLY use the search engine..

If you had, you would have gotten this post.

Sorry I did not do a search 1st. Sometimes I am lazy. But yeah should I use a "T tap" to loop it with? I will be running a 91 B18A TB on my D16Y8. It has the 2 inlets for the IACV. Does one work better then the other? Also it is very neccesary to water cool my turbo? It is both oil and water cooled? I am guessing every bit helps though. Hell I dont know I am a newbie to turbo ----. ;D

yes it helps, and that is what the turbo was designed for.

You can tape into any of them, they all flow about the same, just make a loop and you will be fine.

Cool thanks I will do. :)

what about the SS braided dishwasher hose (home depot) as COOLANT lines? Just thought of that. I saw the post a few days ago about them as oil lines (funny, too, because when I saw them @ home depot a month ago it's the first thing that went through my mind also)...

But, anyways, How hot is coolant? 200*F? My intuitions tell me it SHOULD work for that, correct? It's a bargain for steel braided anything, and hell, they are made for hot water after all, arent they?? ;D

them chemicals in coolant/oil/fuel will breakdown the material of the dishwasher hose in time.
