ok time for me to feel retarded. I'm in the process of a complete rebuild you can search my name and see everything that has been done but anyway, I or any one that is helping with the build know what these ports on the turbo are for or what to do with them. There are two on either side of the turbo. The turbo is a Turbonectics T-66.

Are they plugged? Casting hole?

 

[dbsupra90]

are they open ports? it doesnt look like it but the pics arent super great.

if so most likely water ports. is your turbo bb?

they are threaded so i dont know if i need to put a plug into them or not.......if they werent threaded i wouldnt worry about it.

One of those blow out plug thingamajiggers?

no itz not BB.......and i can stick half my pinky into to them before hitting metal again

 

[dbsupra90]

ok so they are the water ports. since your turbo isnt bb they arent used which is why they arent ported all the way thru. you can leave them as is.

 

[dbsupra90]

thats what it would look like if your turbo was bb and water/oil cooled. like i said, since yours is oil cooled only (water ports capped) you leave them as is.

 

[BoostedFloto]

ok....that makes sense

I would run water to them. Add some more SS lines and fittings and you'll be good to go.

It offers much better reliability by not allowing oil temps in the CHRA to get to the coking point.

Ditto!
no reason NOT to run them!

sure there is. because i said so.

ok really. from what i understood they are sealed off. am i missing something here?

maybe they are sealed off furthur into the turbo, but maybe they have holes holes that go around it that come off that little hole... I dunno.

 

[shaeff]

pour water in one, and see if it comes out the other?!

But they are blocked off, what good would running lines to them do? It would just create a blockage in the cooling system...

 

[aljordan]

They are not blocked off. It's a passage that makes a 90° turn after the port of entry.

If if wasn't a turbo that was to be water cooled, they would have NOT put the boss there, nor bored out this boss, nor tapped this boss to accept a fitting. Doing that costs money and time in a manufacturing environment. No sense at all in doing this for it to be a non-usable port.

Ok then...I would put some lines to them...:icon_razz

That's just the inner wall of the water jacket you can see in the pics the water channels aren't very big but have a lot of surface area.

WaterCooled = good mmkkayy
