Hey guys, Im finally coming to the end of my IHI ZC turbo install, but I came across a tiny snag. Where do I need to tap in to the coolant system for the feed and return line? Something simple if possible, Im not really wanting to drill into my head. I think Im giong to get the oil from a "T" at the oil sending unit. But does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks guys

 

Ok... I've read a few posts on this specific topic and while reading I thought of an alternative solution. My current radiator works but its on its way out. I was thinking about tapping in a new top and bottom bung on the radiator with some JB Weld and run the lines from the turbo straight to the radiator and back. Is this at all possible? If not, feel free to rip me up on this one. Im a little unsure about this myself. But like I said, I can't do too much harm to my radiator at this point anyway. Now I just need to know if this system can provide enough coolant flow? Thanks

 

for saftys sake please don`t not jb weld a radiator.
you don`t need A LOT of flow in the line.

all you needed to do is to
T off the thottle body coolent feed line.
and another T off the thottle body return line

 

acually just get some long *** hoses and run fom the outlet from the head to the turbo then from the turbo to the inlet of the TB just make the loop alot longer this way also insures it get good flow with a t it might not flow as much to the turbo because of the incresed restance.

 

You couldn't run a dedicated line to the radiator and back because there isn't a pump in that equation, which would mean the same water would sit in the turbo forever. The throttle body is easy enough.
