View Full Version : turbo lines (help) (pic inside)
I'm having some trouble with the lines.
see attached picture.
left red circle- turbo oil feed line
right red circle- turbo oil drain line
Where are the turbo coolant lines?

what size is the turbo oil feed? I'm going to run custom fittings and lines, and i have found that the oil feed line requires a 3an fitting.... but the problem is, my turbo uses a M10x1.25 mm to -4AN Turbo oil Feed Adapter fitting with 1.5mm Restrictor
so- the 4an will have to connect to the oil feed on the block, which i found to be a 3AN.
can anyone verify?
and help me find the coolant lines...
can anyone please help me?

You can see both of the turbo coolant ports in this pic of my old SR setup. The one on the water neck just has the red male fitting sticking out. Then you can see the one on the block just below the head.

in the picture- the line on the top right-
is that the coolant drain for the turbo?
how did yours bend like that? how did you get a fitting to fit on the end?
so the fitting below the water neck is the coolant feed port?
i had no idea. what fitting did you use? my feed port is a 4an fitting, so i suppose a ___NPT to 4an fitting?

Its the type of line. I could be wrong, but it looks like your coolant line is blocked.
ok so there is no port below the water neck... lol so it's not my turbo coolant feed.
where the hell is it?
blue 1- knock sensor
blue 2- there is a bolt that is on the block, is this my coolant feed?
blue 3- coolant drain for my turbo
is this right?

NO NO NO NO.
In that last picture.
1. Oil Feed.
2. Nothing.
3. CATCH CAN Return.
Red circle to left of mount bracket = Coolant return.
Red circle to right of mount = Oil return.
Coolant feed will come from either your water neck or from a line behind the head depending if it's S14 or S13 line setup.
i thought oil feed was left red circle? there is reside of oil in the threads.
catch can return, got it.
there's a little bolt on the water neck, is it that?
how can blue #2 be nothing? there's bolt in it, with some gasket maker...

Ok your right if there's oil residue in there that's your oil feed. The bolt on the water neck is a bleeder bolt.

#1 in your pic is coolant feed, red circle directly below that is oil feed. Your coolant return is on the back side of the block, it taps into the heater core lines. Your coolant feed is plugged like someone ran a top mounted turbo, therefore they might have deleted your coolant return line.

I believe it's normally plugged. I know mine is.
