Help! Have Anyone Installed Trust T517z 8cm Turbos On Gtr32?

[JImports]

Hello,

I got a pair of T517z 8cm turbos for the R32 but I don't know what to do.

It only oil cooled so what do I need to do with the water on the block when I take off my standard turbos off.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance.

I believe (could be wrong tho) that the oil lines can be blocked off at the block and the turbo housings able to be turned to allow normal connection to your piping.

I think u need oil otherwise your turbos will seize!

You probably have to block your water lines, cause i know a few if not most trust turbos are not water cooled.

Anyway just take the bolt from the water line that goes into the block to a place like pirtek and they will give u a bolt with the same type of thread that u can use to put into the block and that will do the job. Then u have to worry about blocking off the other water line too.....

Not sure wat u mean about the turbos sitting opposite?

Good luck!

lol, the OP confused me.

yea those trust turbos are not water cooled, the lines are for oil not water, and you should be able to block the water lines from the block with a fitting as Shakiel says

1. Drain coolant

2. Remove air filters/afm's, piping etc.

3. unbolt front pipe.

4. Remove your stock turbos, and lines. (some are underneath the car)

then.

You buy a bolt/plug for the water return on the block around (19mm) in size.

Then u need an additional 2 plugs/bolts for the water lines that run behind the engine that merge next to the abs unit (12mm, 17mm?).

And then u also need to block off the rubber water line/hose that runs at the front of the engine with a bolt and a clamp.

Then install turbo as normal.

I'll try and dig up that guide as i promised you.
