CT26 question Options

[Irishflame27]

on the ct26, do you have to run both the oil and coolant lines to cool the turbo, or can you just use Oil?

[jgreening]

There are many aftermarket turbos that do not use water cooled technology. As long as you use a turbo timer and at least 2 minutes after hard runs, you shouldn't have that big of a problem. I don't know of any reason that the ct-26 needs water cooled any more than these other turbos. That said, I wouldn't own a turbo without it being water cooled....unless it was a porsche (which only recently went to water cooled turbos)....

i do.
the ct-26 is a WATER cooled turbo.
that means its cooled by water, not oil.
the only job oil has inside that turbo is to lubricate.
without the water to help cool it, you WILL cook it.
the aftermarket turbos your talking about jay are designed to have ALOT more oil flow going thru them, where the oil acts as both a lubricant, and a coolant.
ask arron or ken from ATS, its a discussion ive already had with them before
