how to run coolant lines

[bikeman613]

I have looked all around the site and cant seem to find a detailed answer. So I will try and get the answer by post a new thread. I am doing a turbo kit for my 420a and the turbo that I have is oil and water cooled. I want to use both the oil and water but I don’t know how to run the water lines both the feed and return. im good with the oil line i no how to do those i just havent used water cooling on a turbo befor Any help would be nice.

That’s a really good pic now I no where to put the feed line. Just tap into the thermostat flange. But I cant clearly tell what or where that return line is.

Is that the lower radiator hose? #11 and if so do you just tap into that for the return.

Huh? Tap into what flange? There is a rubber hose connecting the heater core lines and the lower radiator pipe. Just replace that hose with ones going to and from the turbo. You might want to use SS braided or copper/aluminum tubing closer to the turbo... so the rubber doesn't dry-rot.

#11 should be the hard (metallic) pipe that comes out of the block/ water pump.

I will look tomorrow to make shore I no 100% what you are saying but I think I under stand.
There is a line that goes from the lower radiator hose to the heater core "RIGHT" and you are saying to put the turbo in line with that heater core line. I'm very sorry if this is still wrong.

 

[VelocitàPaola]

That's correct. The turbocharger goes inline between the heater core output and the lower radiator pipe.

Just for future reference, "no" is not the same as "know" and "sure" is not the same as "shore."

Although Paul has pretty much covered everything, here are some relevant pictures and photos of the set-up. Give you a good visual on the thing..
