Water Cooled B-series turbo HELP

[j0nbunklah0m]

Does anyone know where to tap the water/run the lines, to watercool a t25 onto a b-series motor?
I cant seem to find any good pics or info on it, so any help is much appreciated. n reps for help

any turbo gurussss? im new to this

I was thinking that i could just split one of the smaller lines running from the intake manifold, and run it to through the turbo and then back to where it originally was going. Could this cause too much heat though or anything?! :\!!

Hmm, no one has commented yet? Might wanna try google.

The Hayes manual says some coolant parts are not used when the engine is cold or not yet on temperature like the radiator (controlled by the thermostat).
I was thinking of connecting the turbo with T-pieces to and from the heater connection like this:
engine out -> T-piece to turbo inlet -> heater inlet
heater outlet -> T-piece to turbo outlet -> water pump
This because the heater coolant is constantly flowing

if it was me, and this is ME. I would get the feed from the line that feeds the IACV. But if it was really me i wouldn't use a water cooled turbo

Or you can get fancy and do this


and weld a bung to the bottom end tank of the radiator to return it like so...if you dont have an aluminum radiator you could put a fitting on the water neck where the thermo is.

If it was me, i just wouldnt run the water lines and get a turbo timer. I mean, its just a t25 lol

Turbo timer is for oil, The coolant running through the turbo keeps the shaft from burning up on a couple of thrust points during use.

If a turbo is BB and water cooled and has a warranty, THEY KNOW IF YOU HAVE RAN COOLANT LINES OR NOT, FYI.
