pics of 50trim install...w/ ?'s about water lines

[dSmgs-T]

thought id share my new setup, finished it today but im waiting on a FMIC. im using a 2g manifold ported, pte 5031e, and a custom JMFab o2 with 38wg. only thing im not positive to finish this up is how to do my water lines(how to properly loop them or block them off)
thanks guys!

can i really just take the water feed off and use the longer water return line and loop those together?!

You can take the one from off the water pipe and loop it to the one from the thermostat housing...is that what you meant?

i guess so, idk why but i just cant comprehend what exactly to do with these

Just get 1 long rubber line to delete the 2 lines.

I will soon be installing a 50 trim myself so all that I need to do is to run the old two lines connected into one line or what.

 

[erald01]

Its really up to you. You can either connect two into one or just clip one so no water comes out of it.

If I just capped the send line then would I have to put a bolt in the block where the return line goes to block that one off. I would rather do it that way to make it look a little cleaner.

What do you mean by 'cap', like a rubber vaccuum fitting? If so, it will explode. Trust me

Just loop it, that looks clean as it is.

If you fill the cap with RTV before installing it, it won't explode.

why risk it?

Just weld them shut and you won't have to worry about anything.

Then if you weld them and you have a water cooled turbo in the future then you need new lines. Just loop it and be done with it.

Thats true. For me it doesn't matter since the 50 trim I have is oil only and the next/last turbo I buy will be oil only.

Another clean way to do it would be put n/t parts on it. And then if you got a water cooled turbo you just have to swap the turbo pieces back on.

i just looped it!
thanks guys

for crying out loud! loop the top two and plug the bottom one on the block with a oil drain plug.

This reminds me of the "how many DSMers does it take to change a light bulb" story.

could always run NT water Pipe and NT thermostate housing if you need a set Pm me
