Need Help With Coolant System Circulation

[kwazza11]

Hey guys,

Basically i need to make sure my coolant lines are all in the right place so need a coolant flow diagram for the rb20det if one even exists..? so if anyone has the translated engine manual for the r32 is there any chance of it being posted up?

long story short is i've put on a non-watercooled turbo and different manifold so need to know which is what and where to plumb back the lines. its still being tempramental and want to be sure i havent disrupted the flow by plumbing the coolant lines around the wrong way.

Cheers

Karl

so you have a pipe from the feed to the return already?

as long as there is a hose between the old lines it cant really be the wrong way ..

i'll check the manual for you though.

the manual doesn't even list the RB20DET...

does it have the water line coming around the back of the head like the RB25 ?

Yep but i've removed those pipes and blocked one line which goes into the back of the thermo housing and plumbed the other into the rear of the manifold.

was thinking about just looping them but thought if theres a high pressure side and a low pressure side i might feed one into the other and disrupt flow (if you get what im saying)

on the RB25 it runs through the inlet manifold then out the back and around the back and into the turbo. you could loop them, or block the feed into the manifold and just put a bolt in the block on the turbo side.
