Coolant Feed Question.

[Boostin GST]

im tired of shit not fitting properly. seems like every time i get one issue solved i come up with another to tackle.

well here is idea. doing the 1g head swap..STILL..and i keep having to buy different water pipes....first one was off a 92 non turbo and that just didnt work one bet......then i bought a 1g turbo water pipe with coolant feed for turbo. doing the 60-1 turbo swap so i figured i could use that feed for oil cooler. so cool i rig something up and bam im all set. well start putting the turbo on and the turbo keeps hitting feed part of pipe since its so huge.....not just a nipple. well that sucks cant use that pipe either. so now im thinking of getting another nt water pipe that is bent slightly more in since there are two......then just feed the coolant through the thermostat neck off the 1g i put on. figured since it has extra holes i dont need i could just hook up stainless steel line though there and feed it to oil cooler. and just route it back the same way. what do u think?

I would just use a ball-peen hammer and dent in the waterpipe. It has been done tons of time's. Use the 1g turbo waterpipe and dent it in to make the turbo fit.

i did that on my 2g turbo water pipe and it worked fine. then i got then sbr manifold which adds like 1/8 inch and it cleared even better. but now im doing the 1g head swap and purchased a 1g turbo pipe and the bottom collant part is pretty fat and hits the turbo. the actual pipe doesnt hit, its just the big threaded piece for coolant that does. i can turn the turbo a certain way but it wont be in a direction i can deal with so now im just thinking of getting a nt pipe and not deal with coolant nipples and having to plug it.

so what do u say? just buy some stainless steel hose and do my own recirculation?

I say one more "u" and the thread dies.
