need help with coolant lines on a perrin rotated kit

03clipsegts · 09-09-2007, 07:23 PM

Does anyone have any pics of the way they extended and hooked the coolant lines to a perrin rotated turbo kit. They way i did it was put the banjo bolts facing straight up and extended the line so it like makes a U down to the turbo. I dont know it kinda looks wierd.

awsome man thats pretty much how i have it. now im wondering what i am going to about the pcv cause i was just planning on running a filter right off the turbo. Any ideas?

03clipsegts · 09-09-2007, 07:38 PM

i think that is was its called anyways. I bought the blow thru instead of the intake hoping just the filter would be fine.

If you're running a filer right off the turbo, I think your only option is something that vents to atmosphere... maybe an element tuning air/oil separator?

03clipsegts · 09-09-2007, 07:47 PM

Yea i honestly dont know anything about what that even does. I saw it when i took the stock inlet off yesterday and was like hope i dont need this lol

old kit:

Here is mine. This is my old setup that had the upper coolant reservoir bolted to the passenger strut tower - you can see the other coolant line going up right behind the turbo.

Now I'm running a hose straight from the turbo to the outlet on the water pump and completely deleted the upper coolant reservoir.

*MINE* sucked balls. I had to pry the whole exhaust over to make it fit. I have the Greddy Evo2. It always sat crooked. I though the catback was bent. When I changed my turbo kit to Crawford....I realized it wasn't my catback, but the downpipe/turbo kit was bent wrong............

03clipsegts · 09-11-2007, 09:20 AM

yea it deff seems that its bent wrong. Even the flange seems bent wrong I cant get it to pull together on the bottom. I can wiggle the gasket back and forth thats how bad it is.

SloRice · 09-11-2007, 11:02 AM

I had an HKS Carbon-Ti, then an old Buschur Racing catback and then a new Buschur Racing catback. All 3 of them didn't line up with the Perrin downpipe.

I recently installed a used old Greddy Evo and it lines up perfectly.

Wow thats pretty wierd. I am just gonna reweld the flange on my cat back. Hopefully I can just get it to not leak.
