Hi all

I've finally got around to installing my hks gtrs turbo on my GTT and I'm unsure of which ports in it are oil feed and water feed and drain. Could anyone please confirm which ports these are?

Also if anyone could confirm which ports are oil and water feed on my engine block/bay that would also be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers

Hmm.

I'll be nice.

There are 2 water ports.

There is one drain.

There is one oil inlet.

The drain is larger than the inlet. You can even look at your old turbo as they are the same oil and water setup.

Good luck.

Sorry I'm fully aware that there's both a water feed and drain and oil feed and drain (I'm not that dumb). It's obvious which one the oil drain is but I'm not 100% sure which the other 3 are as there are no markings or diagrams I can find on the internet. Just asking on here for clarification as I don't want to destroy a hks turbo from getting the oil and water feeds mixed up. I posted that at 1:30 in the morning so sorry for not making myself clear

Looking at the turbo again on the top and bottom are 2 thicker lines

And on the sides are 1 smaller line and the oil drain

Safe to assume the smaller one is the oil feed and the thicker line at the top is water feed ?

It gonna sound harsh but if you cant figure that out you should think twice about your ability to fit it properly... anyone can bolt things together but if you dont understand why it often runs into issues later on.

Sorry I posted this asking for confirmation as I thought someone would know. Would like to be 100 % sure about something before I do it to my car, not. 99%. I've figured out the oil feed and just want to makes sure I don't mix up the water ones

Also I'm referring to the positioning of the inlets in respect to the pictures that I uploaded. When I say top I'm referring to the inlet at the top of the photo etc. thought what I was saying was pretty straight forward ..

Was just trying to sort out which is the inlet and outlet for water as I thought it had to go in a specific way but it's all sorted now. Found out it's dependent on the angle of the turbo and nothing to do with the internals or anything

It's not really even dependent on the angle of the turbo. Given that the oil definitely has a top and a bottom (ie, drain on the bottom) that means that the water definitely is located on each side. Sure, if the turbo is cocked over on an angle then one water connection will be higher than the other.....but there's little enough difference in that height to justify saying that one or the other must be the inlet. A hot turbo will thermosiphon forwards or backwards just as happily once the engine is shut off, and it hardly matters if the water is going the normal direction or the opposite direction under those circumstances.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
