ok, i searched but couldnt find anything clearly of where to place in the coolant lines? people say i dont need to run the coolant lines but i want to! so please help on this one! pix will diffanantly help! thanks!

oh yea forgot, the turbo setup is for a 94 LS integra!

 

you don't need the coolant lines :1

 

There's a coolant line that goet to the TB run the coolant lines from the turbo inline with that.

 

Technically no you don't, but with all the heat a little 14b tends to put out it's not really a bad idea to hook them up anyway. Like said, take the line leading into the TB and use that.

 

do you have any pictures of your set up?

 

If you keep the center section cooler on a turbo it will transfer less heat from the turbine housing, into the CHRA, and then into the compressor cover. This is never a big deal on a drag car, but street cars and road racing setups can greatly benefit from a little of water running through the turbo. It will also help extend turbocharger life. I don't understand why people complain about hooking them up when it is not that hard versus the benefits of running coolant.

 

use the return on the IACV to feed the turbo and feed on the water pipe behind the block to drain the coolant

 

This is not rocket science.
1) Find a coolant line
2) Cut it in half
3) Connect one cut end to one side of the chra
4) Connect the other cut end to the other side of the chra

The coolant lines going to the throttle body are good candidates. I have been running around with no coolant lines on my 14b for a few months, but plan on hooking them up one day.

 

okay..sounds good. very simple but makes so much more sense when somewhat detailed compared to others. any size hose that works best? and one more question...the hoses are going to be pretty long..any place better than another on where to run them? im guessing to the left side of the engine since the coolant lines are over there.

thanks..putting turbo on in a week..just want it to be perfect. excited to finally be boosted.
