Turbo oil and water lines?

[darinz]

Is there somewhere very simple to take these from? On the last Nissan motor I turboed, there were factory positions I just screwed into. Is the VH as easy? I'm fitting a single turbo on the left hand side.

Oil-Plumb into the oil pressure sending unit location, drain into the lower portion of the lower front timing cover.

Water-Possibly plumb into the point where the block coolant drain plug is.

for water... how big of hose do you need???

1/4" - 3/8" I.D. should be adequate, especially once the thermostat opens up and the water pump can circulate the coolant.

O.D. would depend on the amount of insulation you think you would need to resist heat and pressure.

I'm just not too sure on where to plumb it in to the coolant system after the turbo just yet.

You could tap the bypass hose off the Tstat housing.. That would be getting freshly cooled coolant...

On the throttle bodie there is a coolant hose the runs in one side and out the other. Take one side off and feed it to your turbo then go from your turbo back into the same side of the TB you took it from. Or you can just eliminate the TB al together and just run those hoses tothe turbo.
