plugging the water port on the block?

[meet07]

Im putting my bigger turbo back on and I forgot what i did about the coolant port coming off the block. The new turbo is oil cooled only? What do u guys suggest? Im assuming a plug but I dont think its npt?

Any ideas

Doing some research its seems the oem banjo fitting in the block M14x1.50. I'm gonna try a basic drain plug from my local auto parts store

thats what I did and never had any leaks. I think I put some RTV on it and threaded it in

Technically you should use a washer with the bolt. You can probably re-use one of the crush washers from the banjo fitting. or an oil drain bolt/washer combo should work.

I ended up using a oil sending unit I had lying around from my Saturn..lol no leaks

I found an oil pan drain plug with washer and I used it on my rb26 block and works perfect and is much cheaper then a oil sending unit for a saturn lol.

Install. Screw thread sealant. Few $ at autozone
