different oil lines?

[walka]

i got this turbo from someone here on the board and i realized the oil lines are different...there is no coolant lines i think

im not quite sure how this hooks up? anyone seen this b4?

It's an AirCooled turbo.

Remember to idle it down for awhile or you'll coke the seals and bearings.

hmmm i c ....

coke the bearings huh...

Yep if you shut it down right away after a hard pull it will boil the oil the Oil that in there then turn it to carbon and this is the "Coke" I'm talking about.

It's a bad thing as it's very hard and will trash the turbo and is the reason turbo timers were invented (not to mention think of the poor shaft spinning at 100.000+ rpm and you shutting off it's supply of oil suddenly).

In a water cooled housing it's not quite as critical as they'll thermosiphon and circulate the coolant even without the motor running and this is enough to keep the temp low enough to prevent much sadness.

ooooo lol

the way you told me you said air cooled..i thought you were trying to say that air cools the turbo..and the bearings will coke up ...i thought you were makin a joke lol i didnt know you meant yea its oil cooled...yea i just bought a turbo timer for that reason..thx

LOL ummm the "Oil cooled" thing is a bit of a misnomer the cooling is a by product of the lubrication.

Either way it's bad to shutem down hot mmm-kay <Mr Garrison voice>

 

[walka]

thx bro

Very welcome!

I've always been a bit freaked by turbo timers so don't own one!

Just don't like the idea of parking Fatty on just the e-brake and letting it run till it shuts off!

 

[walka]

ive actually never put it in gear ...its always been ebrake for my cars (all manuals)..it was cause i started with a car without a clutch safty switch and didnt want the capability to start the car in a parking lot and have it jump to the car in front of it
