1ggte single turbo oil + water lines

[Kedderz]

Howdy,

Im interested to see what 1g single turbo people have done relating to the oil feed/drain and water feed lines. Obviously going single you have to block on set of each lines, how have people done it so far and can you post pictures.


Also as the stock turbos are really small the lines are also small. Will there be sufficent flow rate for oil and water to cool a larger turbo sufficiently?

just block of one of the oil feed lines in the head (just put a bolt/crush washerin the un-used one) and block off one of the water feed lines aswell,

oil return line,....depends on whether you have a high mount or low mount, hight mount you should be able to get away with using the stock return fiting in the block, (with a barb or screw on fitting weleded to the flange)...
if your using a low mount, you may want to return to the sump, if the angle is to sharp to reach the block return fitting.....

flow is sufficent for larger turb, GT series garret turbos dont require a oil feed line restrictor either.

If you need more specific pics I can take them. Currently in the process of swapping the KKR430 for a GT2530.

if I could ask one more favour, can you do a close up of the oil line/feed please

[Stefan]

Sure.. the above were ones I already had from my buildup, any new ones will be a few days.

In the meantime - is this what you need?

Much the same as Stefan's, but here are the pic.

Host them @ photobucket.

I can't see what else Kedderz could possibly want to know after the current photos.
