Turbo Water Cooling

Post by poison » Fri Nov 17, 2006 9:22 am

I’m looking at plumbing in the water cooling into the turbo, any thoughts about where to buy all the appropriate fittings and hoses?

Cheers

For the return line you can just use fuel line (its not under pressure) – available from any Repco – or hell you can even pick it up with your fluffy dice at SuperCheap.

Shop around. Greenlane are bloody expensive!
You could try Cardwells (Auckland) as well...or grab a copy of the free "Hot Rod" type newspaper (Petrolhead magazine...I think it is called) that you can get at most car related businesses. They have a ton of suppliers there.

Try aeroquip, pirtek, or hydralink first..they will be cheaper.. the hardest part to get is the nipple( :wink: ) that threads into the turbo to adapt the standard hydraulic or "AN" hose fittings.....on my turbo its a 12mmX1.5mm thread which is as rare as rocking horse compost!

but as said before it aint cheap..budget for around $200 get the bits to add water cooling.
