my moonstone saff has a t34 which is water cooled but the white one has a t34 which isn't. i am going to track the white one as well as use it on road should i make it water cooled or not????

 

Doesn't make a huge amount of difference..

 

If Ford thought it best to be water cooled i would say so as they spend millions working out whats needed and wat isnt

 

As above,doesn't make much difference

When I had my T34 re-conned could only get hold of an oil cooled core,told by Danny that the water turns to steam as soon as it hits turbo anyway,because core is that hot and water supply to turbo is only small.

Supposed to help keep engine temps down not running cooling to turbo,only thing you need to do is let engine idle/cool down before switching off

 

will be fine without, if really that worried get a oil cooled bearing housing (i can supply ) Basically just heats your coolant lol

 

Well there you go , the man that knows says no thats good enough for me

 

cheers guys no it is then

 

I have a non water cooled T34,makes no difference

 

what about on a T35 with ALS lol?

i prolly wont bother tho, just let it warm up and cool down properly

 

mine runs als with no water cooling

 

What he said. Even my T4 doesn't run water. However, the GT range MUST have this connected.

 

I run a KKK with no water jacket on my Escort Turbo, it dosent have any problems.

Never run water through my T35 & never had a problem ! Took the water cooling off Alex ZVH cabrio's turbo too - all still good & Fayes aswell !

The Series 1 RS turbo didn't have a water cooled core from factory, reason it was introduced on the S2 & other turbo's like the Cossie was for warranty reasons.

The water jacket is there to warm the turbo up & get it to operating tempreture quicker, as what happened with the Series 1 was alot of people just jumped in em & ragged em from cold & fooked the turbo ! Hence alot of warranty claims for turbos !

It just super heats the coolent & is another place for a possible collent leak !

So as Danny said, forget it !

Mike why does the GT series need it so bad ? ?

Jb?

 

jb fletch
the GT's are roller bearings so run on a very thin layer of oil that is for lubrication only, no way good enough on its own for cooling the turbo, so as said, you MUST use the water cooling

 

I was always told it was a comfort thing to warm the coolant up quickly for the heaters in the winter probably not the reason but a good by-product

 

Because the bearings fry without the water cooling, as the oil supply isn't man enough to keep things cool on it's own.
