wont you need to have the heater tap open all the time then in order to have coolant flowing to the turbo?

I've come off the back of the block to feed the GT1752 but the block already had a blonking plug and i modified the radiator for the return.

Your taking from high pressure and feeding to low pressure the restriction in the heater matrix and the limited flow of the turbo means water takes both paths doing it this way you can move the heater valve and still have hot/cold blowers without compromising turbo cooling Yes i moved to the darkside |

I never turn the heater off anyway it's always open, if I want cold air I just open the window it's easier haha |

I was thinking of t-ing off after the control tap? If that tap is shut it wouldn't be letting any through? Which way does the water flow though the engine? |

I suppose you could T off from the heater feed before the heater, then return the turbo feed to the top hose, if you replace the top hose with a bottom hose that has the heater return on it.

Cold in the bottom and hot into the top, that way when the engine has shut off warm it helps to thermosyphon the water through the turbo preventing heat soak. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

And 'cold' is from the head and hot goes to the top hose, so it would be head - turbo bottom - turbo - turbo top - rad top hose I think, although I could be wrong I've confused myself a bit now! Edited by Carlzilla on 5th Aug, 2014. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Which way does the water flow though the engine? there is more than one type of heater valve, the valve i would use is the spi one, because you could have this on the heater matrix only how would i do it? lose the heater imo, on my car the turbo coolant comes out the head and drops back in before the water pump Yes i moved to the darkside |

If you put it back in before the pump brett wouldn't you be putting hot water back into the engine to go through the turbo again? Wouldn't it be better to put it back in after the stat before the rad? On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Wouldn't it be better to put it back in after the stat before the rad? its the stock pluming mate, there needs to be coolant flow even with the thermostat closed i was going to put it back in top of the rad but im happy to put it back in (its only like the bypass hose on a 998 or leaving the heater tap open on a 1275 or even drilling holes in the stat ) with my turbo a series i had a hard time keeping a stable coolant temp i thought it was a poor radiator ( and it was shit tbh ) but i fitted the huge rad and it was still the same i fitted a bypass hose from before stat ( head side) to bottom hose..10mm with a ball valve ( so i could tweek to find a sweet spot) ended up settling on a 6mm restrictor and it was perfect also to bear in mind coolant pluming on most jap engined are different, they put the thermostat in the cold water inlet pipe ( instead of like in a mini its in the hot water outlet) Edited by Brett on 5th Aug, 2014.
