Need some help with Coolant lines

[BlkWidow]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to photo or links to see how the coolant lines for a MSP, looking to see where it goes from the turbo back to the block.

the return? if i recall, the return feeds the oil cooler... dont quote me on that.

the return is below the turbo i think there are two allen bolts holding it on. I thought it just went back in the pan but i could also be wrong hahaits been a while since i messed with it...

The oil just drains into the pan but the coolant is different, it hooks back into a coolant elbow.

How about the supply, where does it come from.

 

[hornsfan10609]

There is a rubber elbow that the supply hooks into that runs from the coolant block on the driver's side of the engine to a metal coolant line that runs underneath the exhaust mani to the thermostat housing. The return runs to the back of the block, maybe to the oil cooler fitting but I can't see.

I'm in the process of tearing down my motor and took a bunch of reference pics for reassembly. Hope this helps!

The pics go from the side of the motor around to the back (no good pics of the front for some reason), and the turbo coolant lines are the top two lines in the first pic.

Thanks, any chance you could get me a photo of the supply side. I'm trying to come up with a way to re do my current coolant lines, I don't have a MSP setup on my car. But I do have the oil cooler installed on the car

In case it's not clear, the supply side goes around to a teed banjo fitting that attaches to the block and to the oil cooler.

Thanks alot for the photo, now I need to figure out where I'm going to tap my return. I can redo my supply side with no problem.

I have heard of people bypassing the coolant lines for the TB and hooking them up for supply and return.

thats pretty common. if i recall, you can also get a fitting for your upper rad hose to feed the supply.

If I did it that way would I run the return to the oil cooler, wouldn't that be to hot

either way you run it, the coolant is cooler then the oil. Oil is right there in the combustion chamber sealing everything off, so it gets alot hotter then the coolant I would think.

They way I ran my supply, was delete the TB warmer, cut the nipple off thats on the piece the upper rad hose connects to, then drill and tapped a 1/4NPT hole. THen i used a 1/4NPT to 6AN adapter, and im sure you can figure out the rest. I dont have this setup on my car anymore though, since im running an oil cooled only turbo

 

[BlkWidow]

What I was thinking of doing is running one to the oil cooler and the return one to the water neck that I'm going to tap. Now I need to make sure that I hook of the lines on the turbo right, I reclocked my turbo and I think I hooked them up wrong. I have to admit I'm not sure which end is which, could someone tell me(aka dumbass) how to tell which end is which.
