Liquid cooled Turbo Exhaust Manifold Options

[xlee]

As i was building my water cooled computer, it just dawned on me that no one has ever tried a water cooled exhaust manifold. I think this would drop the engine bay temp by a bunch numbers. And for those that use fiberglass wraps, this will the end of that.

I was thinking maybe welding small bases on each exhaust manifold pipe and have liquid running to the radiator much like a computer cooler. I would love to see this for our 5sfe and 3sgte if its already out there!!

oil would be better. either way you would need a superior radiator. if the housing cracks, you would be risking an explosion of your diy box.. coolant expands and vaporizes at extreme rate!when pushing the turbo hard, the header/turbo would raise high above 100C and would smoke the coolant into gas instantly..
+1 for idea
-1 for trying to acoomplish that
