PWR A/W IC and water-cooled turbo

[Sandeep]

Hi,

I am starting to plumb up my turbo system for my T4 ... I've got the intake system almost completed, just need to sort out where to place the PWR 4" x 6" air to water intercooler and radiator ... I will sort this out but my question has to do with a watercooled turbo.

I have a TD04L-13T from a USDM WRX and it is oil lubricated and water cooled. Since I am using an air-to-water intercooler, can I run the waterlines for the turbo in series with the intercooler ?

I am making things harder than they need to be ?

Thanks

Sandeep

Sandeep i think it would be a lot better if you ran the water from the intercooler to the turbo since the intercooler outlet water temp would be much less than the turbo.

These are normally in two seperate circuits, the turbo temperatures are way higher than the chargecooler circuit, the turbo circuit is normally at the end of the main coolant circuit.

My guess is that he got infected by some sort of Scandinavian virus

BTW, what is PWR ?

Walter,

PWR is an company that makes thinks for o.a. racing cars.

They have verry nice Intercoolers (air-air and air-water)(also the one that Ian Swinkels had used)

The turbo system for my T4 was about 90% complete when I started researching the WRX conversion.



I had a motor lined up and then I got some bad #'s from the owner who had really abused the motor.

I got a quote from Kennedy Eng for a kit with clutch/PP that would handle 300 hp and I thought it was outrageously priced.

About that time, some crazy Scandinavian proved with hard #'s that you can get 234 HP and 258 ft-lbs from a stock 2.0 Bus engine with some headwork and a TD04HL-16T

Well, add these up and you can see why I'm going to finish this T4 turbo

I just ordered my IC today. Looks like I may need a second seperate water circuit for the turbo .... wonder if a 12v waterpump for water cooling home computers has enough flow capacity.

Is not the flow thats the issue, its the temperature range of the liquid, most PC watercooling pumps WONT like the sort of temperatures it would see in this circuit.
Eheim 1250/1260 would be the most likely, but they are mains powered and have a lot of plastic...
