In part 4, I make the water lines and oil return line, and fit the oil feed line. Also get the turbo mounted and bolted up hopefully for the final time.
Hey mate, your video series has pushed me to turbo my EP3! Could you clarify the routing of your water hoses, where exactly did you take your feed/return from ? Thanks
I haven’t got colder plugs yet although they are saved on my eBay watch list. Not too sure on boost, the wastegate has a 5psi spring so will start there and then see what happens. The aim is for about 450hp.
damn that k20 is rusty as all hell, where did you find that at? more rust than ive ever seen on one, hard to believe that the unibody will pass MOT lookin like that! also did you use red RTV to put that pan back on instead of hondabond? curious choice!

@@1BlueGhost so is my Garrett but I'm only running an oil feed. the coolant ports are blocked off. not Many ppl run them water cooled. it only heats up the coolant and makes the radiator less efficient. I've never seen a need for both
@@TheShangralaaaa17 oh right didn't realise that. to be honest my coolant temps have always been bang on, its quite a large radiator on the ep3 id say. ive always had turbos oil and water cooled. the waste gate has water ports, but I guess I havent piped those in. Might have a look at changing it if it works ok still as you say.
@@TheShangralaaaa17 if you have water lines you should run them in my opinion... keeps the oil from coking in the turbo. Granted you could always just use a turbo timer.
Nicely done pal
Beautiful pal
Thank you! Cheers!

Hello
The water feed and return are plumbed into the metal water pipes which would usually go to the throttle body.
nice videos fella but the oil return should of been above the pan level to be more efficient for the oil return, but well done.
Yeah I looked at loads and they all seem to go about there for the oil return. It has been ok anyway so far 2+ years on
Really good work, how much boost are you planning on running through it, have you got colder spark plugs or running standard ones.
I haven’t got colder plugs yet although they are saved on my eBay watch list. Not too sure on boost, the wastegate has a 5psi spring so will start there and then see what happens. The aim is for about 450hp.
See the 2 other pipes under the throttle body that were connected to water feed and return what do you do with them?
Nothing attached to them on the throttle body. Used pipes from the engine as the water feed and return to the turbo

Was on the titanic
Super... JDM ep 3 OK
Do you remember the length of the oil feed and where you got it from?
Yeah sure it was just over 1metre

@@1BlueGhost thanks
Your oil drain fitting angle is bad and will cause backing up and turbo smoking.
It didn’t cause any issues in the 2 years I had it 😂
@@1BlueGhost oh nice. The reason I mentioned it because my drain fitting was a little angled down and caused smoking in exhaust.
Wat turbo is it again mate

don't even need coolant lines to the turbo tho...
It’s an oil and water cooled turbo?
