as above ive just bought a series 2 turbo charger to replace my series 1 turbocharger in my mk4 escort and i need the water pipes for my new samco kit anyone have spare ones cheers

 

hellloooooo

 

not sure u can get them still mate,u will have to get some made up!
oh and HELLLLLLLO!!!!
lol

 

lol im not after brand spankers second hand is what im needing just some off a fucked turbo that somebody might have

 

i bought some a few years ago from fords
they werent cheap
i think they are still in the garage somehwere

 

if you find them pm me with a price bud cheers

 

I had a nightmare trying to replace the leaking one on mine.

In the end I bought a kit designed for the 4wd cossie (none ford) of ebay and adapted that to fit.

Failing that just disconnect them and run the turbo with no water cooling. As long as you dont turn off with the turbo is red hot you will be fine!

 

mate of mine bought some off ebay for £50 think pirtek made them up

 

ive got a set on route cheers for the replies

 

not the best ideas tht,there designed for water cooling,best to keep it tht way
i ran one about 3 months with no water,didnt like it to much

 

s1 t3's dont run water tho and most jap cars dont either

 

Yeah there is no need for it, so long as you let the turbo cool down before you turn the engine off.
Lots of people disconect the water pipes because it make a big diffence to the water temp and helps keep the engine cooler.

 

If the turbo has been designed to use both water and oil to cool it then thats how it should be, otherwise the turbo will run a lot hotter than it should and overheat the oil!!!!!

 

who said pirtek made them? what a bunch of mokeys they are (pirtek)

if you want i can make u a brand new one and send it up to u

i work for exeter hose and hydralics i do the same as pirtek but dont get the come backs

 

ones that dont have water pipes use the oil to keep them cool,so they dont need them,water cooled ones need water to keep them cool

 

the turbo i have purchased is off a series 2 and is water cooled hence the need for the water pipes

 

good boy,do it right

 

as per comments from gary1978 not all pirtek centers have recalls i work for the one in mitcham and we can make up all maners of pipe work and do on a reglaur bassis. but back to the post we can make you up a set if need be and post them out to you

 

I wouldn't be overly concerned about getting the pipes made up, T series turbos can and will run quite happily without the water cooling.
I did nearly 20k on my old T3 without water pipes on and its still mint.
Just make sure you don't turn off while the turbo's red hot and you'll be sound

 

The reason ford make them water cooled is to help with muppets turning the car off when the turbo is red hot. As the S2 was meant to be a mass produced everyday car, the additional heat absorbed by the engine from cooling the turbo can be relatively easliy dealt with compared with the potential for mass warrently claims!

Things will be VERY different as soon as the boost goes up the cooling system cannot cope! Probably the reason the S1 never had the water cooling core as it was designed with motorsport intentions.

The very reason my T61 does not have water cooling is the the fact I would need a rad the size of the front of the car to cool it LOL! But it would add a silly amount of additional heat to an already stressed cooling system.
