i bought a turbo off ebay 4 a escort rs, just tried 2 fit it, an its water cooled instead of oil cooled, is there any chance i can still fit it sum how? cheers

 

errm should be a simple swop

 

do i join the the oil feed to the water turbo feed or sumthin?

 

its always got oil going to it, other wise it would last about 1min.

 

can you post a pic? the turbo must have a oil feed, iirc S1 t3 was oil cooled only and S2 was oil and water cooled.

 

Just dont bother doing anything with the water pipes. Isnt essential.

 

Whatever you do dont join the water to the oil pipes!!!!

What you have is a S2 turbo which has water cooling (but isnt needed) and you must be running a S1 setup in your car which doesnt have water cooling.

So just hook up the oil pipes as they were on your old turbo, and leave the water pipes disconnected or even remove them from the turbo.

theese are the pictures on the ebay link above 2 the turbo i bought,

cheers 4 all ur replies an advice....so oil feeds only and ignore the water

 

with no water i would advise that warm up / cool down correctly thou

just to be cautious

i never had a problem with mine (until i ran als)

 

kk cheers m8

 

Yes make sure you do this! Most important to let it idle for a minute or 2 before shutting off the engine or you'll get extreme heatsoak in your turbo and cook the oil in there!

 

cool, i always wait a min anyway at standstill b4 i turn it off, an 1st start up in morning i sit at idle for bout 5 mins

 

as long as you do this you wont have a problem

 

 

i have one of these but havent fitted it yet because im not sure where the pipes go to .does anyone have any pics of where to put them??
