Turbo Mini Forums

Hello,

apparently the thing to do is drill till you fine no4 piston...

I'd sugest that you drill slightly up and toward no 3 so your more likely too find the water jacket.

these may help give an idea of depth.

What a topic title!!! Is it just me???

Vegard, I think there was intentional innuendo, as is the TM way

Somewhere on this forum i found someone who needed to drill 8cm

Yesterday i got to 7 cm and still no water. Only metal(no cilinderwall yet) So i will drill the extra 1cm today.

The picture i posted tricked me to believe i only needed to drill 2 cm. But now i see the bolt on the back, there already was a waterchannel there.

Back to the garage :)

@Sprocket, it sounds way better in English than in Dutch

YES, i finally see water coming out of the hole i drilled.

At first i felt i broke through a void but no water came out when i filled the engine with water.
After i removed a plug to look into the waterchannel an removed a lot of dirt it started flowing.
I will give the engine a good flush now it's out.

Tip: drill slightly upward. I needed to go 8 cm deep and if i went up 1 cm upwards it was perfect. Now i am at the bottom of the waterjacket.

How big did you make the hole?
It must be big enough to cool the turbo. Wat is needed, 6mm?

I'm sorry, this only gets better. Sorry for not contributing...

I'd say 6mm is ok,
