one water line goes into the block behind the turbo....The other water line goes around the back of the head and into the back of the inlet manifold....its a pain in the ass to get to as there is a couple bolts in the back of the head....you can get with a 10mm spanner but it will try your patience...alot of people just cut it and attach a hose, isn't really the correct way to do it but it can work....make sure you use some heat proof hose though as it cops alot of heat...I used Gates flame proof, i think repco has it.....or wrap it with some kind of heat shielding...or use braided if you can get them..

you reckon you could give me a quick reference to a suitable exhaust manifold (internal)? as ebay has heaps of crap..

as i thought stock would be fine, and i have ordered braided lines as we speak lol.

ill take a look around the head/inlet manifold. pain in the ass to put my arm around there :/ ehhhh

stock manifold will be ok if you want to use it... just wont really handle what the 3076 is capable of...you'd find the 3071 would spool up a little quicker is all and still make plenty of power...but dont stress if you already have the turbo

i found this. When the water line comes around the head, does it go where the green coloured hose is?

any other pics of where the water line goes? i cant feel it connect to a rubber hose at the back but i cant seem to reach/ feel it from the driver side

Yes and that hose is a bastard to get to in situ . It went on my 33 and in the end I had to remove the idle air control valve to get at it .

Nissan did it the right way on RB26s and piped it up to the front of the head on the turbo side and returned it into the top water outlet . Works well because any steam bubbles go out to the top rad tank and out past the cap into the overflow bottle .

Well from what I can see, I can probably get some long nose pliers in there to take off the clip and pull off the rubber hose.

But does the braided line connect straight up or would I have to put a fitting between them? :S

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
