For those who are running a GT30R turbo or similar on a LD9, what are you guys using for your water cooling setup....where did you tie into your coolant system and how did you set it up?
Also, what size oriface did you run for an oil inlet restrictor, 0.045"?(needs 40-45psi on the turbo)
They don't need to be dually cooled with oil and water. All you need to do is use a brass plug to block off that port and just run standard oil cooling. Provided you use a turbo timer or just let the car idle for a few minutes after running it to let the turbo cool down, you will be just fine.

From what I've heard this will overheat the center section and will destroy the bearings..........
I read your profile and you listed a netics 60-1 and got 462whp from a 2.2OHV?
No it won't. Factory turbo cars like Saab's run dual cooling. And big big hp cars might run dual cooling. We had a Supra here in town on a Jun 3.2 stroker motor with an 84mm dual ball bearing HKS turbo that was dual cooled, but he just wanted to play it safe. And yes, that's correct. It was a T3 60-1 Stage 3 .63 a/r.

you got any dyno slips on that motor? I'd like to see em. If I'm not mistaken you would have owned the most powerful 2.2OHV on record around here.
If I owned a scanner I would have scanned it afterwards. I'm sure I could still find the chart filed away somewhere. And no I don't think that's the most powerful OHV to date, I believe there have been others.

Personally, I disagree with this. Most turbos have water jackets for a reason, not just for plugs. Factor vehicles have water cooling for a reason as well. But to each their own.
If you decide to run water, just tap into your coolant lines by the fire wall. That's where I ran mine, and it worked pretty decent. Then again, I don't know how big a GT30R is. Good luck.

Water cooling is there for a reason, extends the life of the turbo.

First of all, why on Earth would you not want to hook up the water lines to a water cooler turbo? Is the couple hours of your life and few extra dollars it takes to do so not worth it to double the life of your new $1,500 turbo?
When i bought my Garrett GT turbo it came with specific instructions that you
must use the water cooling, failing to do so will damage the turbo.

You all can have your opinions on dual cooling. That's just fine. As long as you keep proper maintenance of your turbo, such as allowing it to cool down after running it hard, you won't have problems.

Hey skilz or LNtwoLDninety, where exactly did you T off for your water setup and get a decent flow without pushing the entire volume through it...or is the turbos cooling ports big enough to allow this?

If your turbo has water cooling then hook it up! It is there for a reason. When I got my new PT-67 ball bearing turbo in there was a note sticking out of the outlet, it said in bold letters....Not hooking up the coolant system to cool the turbo will void your warrenty! After spending $2000+ on my new turbo I think I will plumb the coolant lines in for safe measures especially since it takes no time and next to no money.

Would there ba anybody willing to take pictures of the water setup? Are you guys just running the heater core line throught the turbo?
you
must hook up water lines on gt series dbb turbos.

Yes.
You can read all about it if you search around a little. Built. Dyno'd and tuned. Blown up. That's pretty much the final summation.

I would tap in right after the radiator. Get a 4" piece of tubing have a fitting welded in and slip it in the rad. hose. 2 hose clamps and your done.
