Hey everyone, just wanted to ask you about some turbo lines that i took off last night and then i can't remember where they go! Oops! In the engine back there are 2 steel hoses that are welded together, one goes to the top of the turbo and i believe it is the oil line? (correct me if i am wrong) and the other one that is beside the oil line sticks out towards the engine and looks like it is a vacumn line... Could anyone give me an tips?

Also, while replacing the turbo last night i was thinkin to myself.. hmm thats funny, i didn't see any oil come out of any of the fittings i took off.. Is this normal?

88 Rx7 Turbo 2

 

The oil inlet line comes off the top off the front plate and bolts to the top with two bolts and the oil return is the big one in the front to the front cover. The water inlet is where it goes to the LIM and the water outlet goes to the water pump. The only vacuum line would be on the switching actuator aat the bottom which goes to the green soleniod.

 

Yeah i'm lookin where to hook up that line.... god it would be so much easier with a picture!

 

Look in the FSM.

 

Yeah i have already searched for a while, but its hard to look it up when you dont know what the **** it is..

anyway picture! looks like this guy just blocked it off... what is it for tho? I marked it in red!

 

That's the vacuum line that goes to the stock boost solenoid.

 

umm, stock boost solenoid? So if i am hookin up my MBC i dont even need that line? or...

 

Nope, if you use a MBC you don't need it.

 

****** rights! thanks alot sonic rat that helps alot man.. SO i can just plug that sucker up.

Awesome! I broke it off anyway by mistake! lol

 

so which one is the water pipe thats on top of the plate? inlet or outlet?this would be right next to the outlet of the cold side.

 

wtf you talkin aboot?

 

lol thats what i thought.

 

the water lines. geeez! which is inlet, which is outlet.
