just wondering where the water feed and return lines are out on the intake side, the FSM has like a bajillion lines and i cannot decipher it, of it not the original areas where i could get water from outside of tapping the heater core lines, i purchased a water lines kit with a generic banjo bolt and eyelet so i can make lines to my own length , and since i am running custom lines for the oil also where is the OIL hi psi outlet, i opted to just block off the standard oil port, and use a sandwich adapter plate but no point if i have a closer source, i kno these r kinda newb questions, its just that my motor is really a bare essentials, my intake cut down on like half of cooling lines, and since i didnt remove them my self i am at a loss, and since i am twin turbos on a rb25 finding right place to acquire oil and coolant is a ***** haha

the water feed source is on the block near the oil feed port on the block and the return line from the turbo is routed around to the rear nipple of the intake side of the block.

when in doubt, consult with the service manual can be found in this forums

dunno if this helps, but i put this diagram together a while ago for how the stock 26 coolant is set up.. blue is cold water, red is hot water, purple is turbo, green is connections

the cold feed comes from the block on the exhaust side, and the hot returns go back towards the heater hoses and also at the water neck to the radiator.

when most people go single on the 26, they delete the hot return to the heater hose side by looping those lines.
