  • turbo oil and coolent Q?

    Where do you guys who have a turbo run your oil lines and coolant lines from the motor and back to. Thanks for the help.

    Oil comes from tee-ing off from where oil sending unit is. It goes back into pan by a hole cut in the verticle face of the pan and a large(~1/2"-5/8")pipe attached above the oil level for gravity feed drain. I tapped into where the throttle body heater lines are for the coolant, though I'm not sure that it's the best place since both the input and output come from the same place(meaning they're at the same pressure) so there probably isn't much flow besides from temp differences. I may change that to lines that the pump is actually consistantly moving coolant through.

        What are you using for coolant drain out of the turbo? gravity wouldn't work because of where it is mounted...right?

        Curious.

          Coolant is under pressure when it goes in and out: the same pressure as the coolant anywhere in the engine, so the drain/output can go wherever you find a place.
