Water Feed Trouble

[tjhynes12]

I was following neox2.0's write up on the part for the water feed and I can' t seem to find the connection he's talking about. I have something taken off and i'm not quite sure if it is it. I have a couple pictures here to show you what I'm talkin about. If anyone can help me, please do so! It would be very much appreciated! and the first picture I have there was stolen from Brian MP5T by the way

"--For water feed, on the back of the block (just above the oil filter) is a connection where you will mount a banjo fitting. You will use the oem fitting, which basically extends the already existing fitting out further, coupled with the banjo->hose fitting from ATP turbo. You will attach a length of 3/8" rubber hose from the ATP turbo banjo fitting to the water feed metal connection on the turbo."

No, negative! That is your knock sensor. The fitting he's referring to is up at the very top of the block, on the passenger side. It's a 12mm bolt. Take it out, and put your banjo bolt in.

Maybe it's a 14mm...

Thanks man! A Big Help! Just got it done then !(breakn)

Who built your engine? Or did you just paint it?

 

[tjhynes12]

Oh, that picture of the motor isn't mine, I got it from the "How-To" Section from Brian MP5T's Thread

Okay, Since I put that bolt in I haven't been able to get it to stop leaking.. has anyone else had any trouble doing this method for the coolant feed?

Did you put thread sealant on the threads? You will need it or it will leak. I recommend the liquid kind in a tube with teflon. And if you did use thread sealant, did you tighten the NPT fitting all the way in? You dont need to tighten it so that its up to the stop cause the threads are tapered.

 

[tjhynes12]

Nope, I haven't tried that, but I am going to now. Thanks

WTF? Why do you have that little piece of hose on there? Go buy a proper banjo fitting.
