Water lines for for CPC manifold

Hi all, 

 

ive got a new CPC manifold and want a hand with plumbing up everything - so it all still works as per factory. 

Well the oil cooler (the one on the oil filter)

best way to get water over to the other side for the turbo. 

Where to run the lines for the heater hose etc. 

 

theres a fair bit bit to be put back and as the old mani is not going back on, I'm chasing people's experiences with after market manifolds and how they plumbed them up. 

Also does anyone know the best way to utilize this port on the side of the where the thermostat bolts (pic attached)

Turbo water comes out of the turbo side of the block.

Is there a reason you're keeping the water to oil heat exchanger?

I mean you've gone all out on a plenum so I'm assuming it's a serious car, but you don't have an air to oil cooler?

 

Also need more images. I assume that the bit in your hand is the return? And there's ports on the plenum to plumb to it for a return?

Did the engine have the heat exchanger on it when you took it apart? Because that fitting in the rear of the block isn't the one for having an oil heat exchanger... it should have a Y pipe for the feed, big one goes to cabin. The hole in the side of the thermostat housing is the return for the heat exchanger and cabin heater.

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
