90' NT Water Pipe

blageo23 · 12-06-2005

Is this possible to put on a turbo car? Have the coolant line go somewhere else other then make a loop off the 14B. I need a 90 Cuz im gonna get a Ex Oil cooler. And just wondering if I could run like SS lines from the water neck. Im more conserned about the "U" coolant line I believe thats a "dump".
Thanks,
Mike

Get a 90 Turbo water pipe. Either that or weld/cap up the pipe that would normally go to the oil cooler. Thats what I did. I use a 90-94 turbo water pipe and just welded it shut.

You could always cut the return line, one that runs under the turbo to the water pipe and just run a rubber hose from it to the pipe that would normally go to the oil cooler.

Also, what thermostat housing are you using? I assume you are running a 1st gen head? If not it wont work.

1G everything. Except Body. That is true I guess I really didnt think about just closing it off.

Yes it will work then. It would be a lot easier and not as half assed if you just welded the line shut that goes to the oil cooler. That would be my suggestion, unless you like the look of rubber hoses running accross the block past the turbine housing where it could potentially melt.
