Let's get this slant turbo project started. 71 Dart

Thank you for the information about not needing to water cool it.

Back in the late 80's I pit crewed for a team that ran mistubishi starion/conquest and Mirage/colts. When the driver's would come off the track after a race we had to make sure they did not turn the car off right away. If they did the turbo would sieze up and the turbine would break off the shaft and at an angle in the housing. :oops:

I will probably plumb it as it should not add a lot to the cost of the install but good to know!

When you say look in Rio Vista did you mean look for a part?

Bridge toll does suck but Rio Vista is really close and it is my back way to Sacramento.

I'd look at Rio Vista or nearby. Not too terribly far away, and a pretty drive in. That bridge toll does suck though.

Water cooled bearing housing doesn't mean that you have to have coolant plumbed to it. It'll be no different from a non- water cooled turbo if you don't connect it to coolant. All that the water cooling really does is help to prevent oil coking on hot shut-downs. If you get in the habit of not turning it off until the EGT is below ~300°F then coking the oil won't be a problem.
