demotorsport Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 i have a 4agze with turbo setup and wondering where people have got the water feed from water outlet from there aint many locations to get them from it don't have factory hoses as its a rwd so where on block etc can i put these lines to or what hose should i put to any help from some1 thats done this before appreciated thanks Quote
Jono Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 i'm about to do this as well. for the water outlet of the turbo, i would have guessed to tap into the hose which goes from the water outlet on the back of the head (next to firewall) to the thermostat. for the feed i would have guessed to tap into the hose from the water pump? not entirely sure how your setup is at the moment, but mine has no heater hoses attached.

demotorsport Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 i have been told there is no in and out of the turbo so it don't matter where you put the in and out of the turbo is this true and if not which 1 is in and out on the turbo side??? I'm not running a thermostat and the hoses that come off back of head i have blocked as it was hitting firewall as its in a small car I'm running similar to you at the moment 1 is coming off the bottom radiator hose that feeds water pump the other is running to the back of the water neck on top hose where them hoses off back of the head originaly run to. is this ok??? also where is the original thermostat located??? thanks mate Quote
Jono Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 what car is it in? i'm not sure where the thermostat was original, i have a 4ac thermostat and used a photo on the Witzl's guide on toymods. i thought you had to have the water outlet on the back of the head coming back to the thermostat? Quote

HRV-00S Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 I'm not sure about the hole inlet outlet thing or if it matters, My water lines are plumbed from the outlet on the back of the head, and there's a hose fitting on the side of the block just behind the outlet for the oil sender. Not sure myself if this is an ideal setup, but it's doing the job so far. Cheers Dan Quote
Jono Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 i thought the connection from the back of the head was to allow water to flow around the head (even before the thermostat opens) mine is similar to this setup (taken from witzl's guide) Quote
