Here is one of our subaru kits we finished not too long ago. Twinscroll, Borg Warner turbo, Dual Tial wastegates, stainless and all v-band connections.

 

Point it out

 

Ok, just ignorance on my part. I thought that was what I was seeing but I didn't know any turbos were water cooled, all I had ever been around used oil only.

 

A lot of the new ones are. The "theory" is that it will prevent oil from caking when they are shut off without cooling them down first. Most gasoline turbo cars are water cooled these days.

 

Just for starters.......

you should never run brake line for your oil/water feed lines to your turbo(s).

2nd, Im sorry but radiator cooling is crap in my opinion.

3rd, whats with the exhaust pipe radiator hose?? And where is that pipe running too?

4th, There is enough room under the hood for the turbo to have better placement.

5th Im just being picky here but I feel whoever built it could have done a better job

clean and simple

 

Im sorry but that 'Theory' is crap in my opinion. its just another way to get away with being LAZY!!!!! and not letting your turbo idle down properly to cool down before turning off your engine...gas or diesel!

 

Is that one of those electric turbos in that pipe?

I agree. As I stated we try not to use them when possible, but some turbos don't come without the water lines.

 

Running water to the turbo for more cooling is LAZY? I would call it stupid and useless. Another whoop dee do for an idiot engineer. Oil and water temps run about the same temps together unless your running in extreme heat temps,hot or cold. Thats what i have seen in all the years running big trucks up and down the highway.
When I started driving in the early 80's it was recommended to let the turbo cool down before shutting the truck down. As the years ran on the manufactures started saying not to wait and shut it down when you got parked

 

While oil and water may be the same temp, oil does not continue to circulate when you shut the key off like water does. I believe from an OEM standpoint it prevented them from having to replace turbos as often for people that would not wait to shut the car down like they were supposed to.

 

Because brake line doesnt flex with engine torque. And what do you mean by electric turbo??

gotcha!


I've been a driver myself for many years and no matter what truck I have/had where I was or what I was doing I ALWAYS let the turbo cool down!!! The Idea behind running water is so you wouldnt have to idle down your turbo to cool it down. And Im sorry but not letting your turbo cool down after a days work (no matter what it is) is plain out lazy and stupid!

What makes you think water continues to circulate when the engine is off??

 

Pressure in the system allows it to continue to circulate and a mechanical thermostat will still open. It is not being pumped, but the water passages are large and open enough to allow thermal movement without a pump. I have spoken with turbo engineers about this as I am leary of oil and water cooled chras after having the two mix when a turbo went bad.

 

I was looking around for turbos and came across an electric turbo.I couldnt find specifically the one I saw. It was similar to this

Lol! I am still waiting for someone to put a leaf blower on their car!

 

Is'nt that one of those blowers you carry around in the summer.
Hey if we can figure out how to put a water sprayer on that. I magine the money to be made. Investors are waiting!
