jeffp Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 I have talked to a number of people/business regarding the water cooling on the cartridge. I have a builder that says he cant install the 360 degree thrust bearing into a water cooled cartridge. I spoke to turbonetics and they say they do. What is your take on the water cooled unit over the non water cooled unit?? I tend to think the water cooled unit is a better way to cool the cratridge down, myself.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 When I got my T3/T4 hybrid I did not even consider non-water-cooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 I just use synthetic oil, and idle down a bit when I've been running it hard. I've got the same oil cooled turbo from Turbonetics going on 5 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony240ZT Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I got my water cooled center section out of a 300zx (z31), also can get them out of Saab 900's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Schmaydee Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 i run synthetic in mine too...but i kinda like the idea of having it watercooled anyway...so i had mine built w/it... ...where did you guys get the fittings to hook your's up?....the watercooled section on mine....'sposed to hook up w/300zx banjo fittings....but good luck finding them... .....i just bought an oil cooler...looks like the banjos on it might work...but i hate to trash it...just for the fittings..i would rather have water-cooling than oil cooling though.......s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
