Can you post up some detailed pics especially where you've connected the coolant lines?

still wanted to try it out of sheer ease of access.

but then i fount my t fittings, got some spare radiator hoses and tapped in that way, which did allow for a larger diameter hose.

Fair enough.

I wonder if anyone has looked at the coolant flow rates for the different connection options?

If the throttle body has a higher flow rate than the t-connection then it would cool better even with smaller diameter hoses.

Looking forward to pictures of this.

The main things you're looking for when picking a spot to pipe this is hose diameter and pressure differential between your supply and return sources. I would imagine there is significant pressure drop across the radiator so that should be a good option.

I'll be uploading a video install guide in the next week or so. In the middle of moving house at the moment.

It taps in to the throttle body loop.

That's because the install guide video isn't finished yet....

Install guide video is uploading now....

Here's the install guide...

Very elegant solution, I like this better than the standard small oil cooler setup, plus a few hundred cheaper as well.

Any temperature numbers from multiple drag runs or track days?

Also if you were to do future forced induction would you need to T-Tap those coolant inlets under the throttle body?

I would bypass the throttle body coolant lines as well.

Want data for track/WOT pulls too.

The Sentinel 09-09-2014 01:06 AM

Next time I'm at the track I'll be recording data. Haven't had an opportunity yet.

I assume you guys watched the post-install temp analysis video under normal driving conditions?

As for the turbo oil feed, the alternatives are discussed in the video. there's an additional line at the back of the engine that can be used.

Do this test: drive at 6000RPM for a few minutes and see what the oil temp does.
