    Plumbing a water cooled turbo on a 3116?

    You would have to modify the oil feeds to rotate the center section a little. As I recall the constraint was you don’t want the oil passage More than about 15-20 degrees off of vertical as oil pooling in the turbo is bad. You want the oil to drain away cleanly after shutdown. Because of the...

I would be careful using the heater lines as the flow thru the heater loop can be shutoff which would start the non flowing coolant in the turbo to boiling in short...
