How to water cool a tt kit?
How to water cool a tt kit?
ok so im gonna do what gtm does on their turbo kit:
on the first pic.. where does that fitting circled in yellow tap into?
on this pic... where do i return the water to?
.
the following pic is used with the turbonetics water cooled single. would this be retun? where is the most pressure so i can use for feed?
P.S:
sorry forgot to mention.. thats not my engine.. im just doing a similar build where my turbos will need to be water cooled!!!

The HKS kit is not very common, you may be best off PMing Sam/George to see what they have to say since they have some experience with this kit. I would be scared to death to be messing with my turbos on my own.
The GTM kit uses a pair of inline adapters that go into the heaters cores hose. it is basically a T-joint with a -6AN fitting to feed/return the water to the turbos. then, they use a crossove hose to connect the outlet water from the passenger side turbos to the inlet side of thedriver's side turbo.
so, the flow path is from the heater core inlet tube to:
1) feed water to the passenger side turbo
2) water exits pass turbo via crossover hose and feeds driver side turbo
3) water exits driver's turbo and returns into the heater core exit hose
4) water feeds back into the driver's side cylinder head side port
you HKS setup should be very similar. THe GTM manifolds appear to be nearly identical to the HKS manifolds (never really looked to carfeully though)....so turbo placement should be pretty similar too.

awesome info. i will do more research and make this work!!!! last guy who had this kit didnt run water thru them and one blew... not this time

i already have a meth kit.. but i need to run water thru the turbos so they last long

what you are missing in your pictures are the water lines that run to and from the heater core. those are the lines that disappear into the firewall. those are the water lines that GTM suggests you tap into.
Nice looking Eng. 
I just checked and the one in the first pic does tap into the waterline that runs through into the fire wall. Can't see the other one to much stuff in the way.

Hmm.. Have you looked at the APS TT installation diagram? APS has the best instruction diagrams by far and they have been using water cooled Garret turbos way before GTM. So, I think you should go off the APS instructions for your custom(?) build.
