ok im being working this past week in my GSLSE/tII project and i run into a few problem. first i was rerouting the water lines and i could figure it out how to do it, i did it a bunch of diferent ways and the only way i could doit is taking the water lines from the engine block directly to the turbo and not to the TB so in other words i dont have a fast idle thingy. do i would have starting problem if i dont have that? second i crunch one of my brand new OMP line when i was intalling the intake. can i cut it were is crunch and use a vaccum hose to join the line or i have to buy another one? third, about the oil line for the turbo, i was planning to buy a fuel hard line and and join both ends with fuel injector rubber line and direct it from the turbo oil supply line to the mazdatrix sandwich block that goes betwen the engine and the oil filter neck but the oil down pipe one i was planning to buy heater hose to join it because i have to cut the pipe and put it in the oil pan. does it is a good idea or not? any better idea? thanks

 

bump......

 

i'm not really sure if i can help you with this one. i think i read in the Gen II forum that this is not a problem when people do the intake manifold/throttle body porting mod, so you shouldn't have starting problems. however, i'm a bit concerned about the flow in and out of the turbo ... could you clarify a bit? just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

you could (just make sure to double clamp each attachment) ... but after going through all the trouble and work of doing this conversion, wouldn't you feel much better not taking the chance? i'd opt for getting a new line ... or try to find one in junkyard or someone parting out an SE or Gen II car.

dude, don't do this. wait the extra time or spend the extra money and just have these things made with -AN lines and fittings, stainless steel may not be NECESSARY, but i'd recommend it when you consider the heat of the oil moving in and out of the turbo. that really heavy duty rubber line should work - but what ever you do, use -AN or JIS hose fittings.

 

what flow are you talking about? the water flow? what i did is i took a one line from the front cover to the turbo without making p.o.s. bend that restrict flow and the other line i cut the the hard line that goes from the turbo to the intake manifold in tII and send rubber line to the rear housing. is not a bad work.

thanks for the advice. i just go and buy another new line, they dont cost alot.

ok ill use -AN hoses and fitting but what are the JIS fittings? is like -AN. thanks
