Nothing...... I have done nothing WITH my 1079 I've done lots TO it in the hopes of one day....

I've built a complete 24v conversion kit that includes a 200A alternator, all the brackets, bolts, clamps and pieces, other than wires and the Bussman Equalizer. This kit incorporates a serpentine belt conversion and an AC bracket - hard to beat. PM me if interested.

Good point. Like I said, not my setup, always open to advice that has logic behind it. So, if I Tee into the water pump output to the air compressor, and come back into the thermostat housing on the back side, I've basically copied that loop....

I think that as Ron alluded to, as long as the plumbing to the coolant ports enters from a lower point and exits to a higher point, termosiphoning will occur. The premise per Garrett is that when the engine is shut down, the turbo housing heat soaks into the CHRA and the oil is no longer...

The center is positioned exactly like the original turbo. This is another CAT unit, made for the 3126. Oil feed and drain are positioned vertical, which puts the coolant horizontal.

That's where the issue may be. Recommended angle of the coolant ports is 20 degrees. Once the CHRA is rotated to match the existing LMTV manifold, oil feed, and drain lines, the coolant ports are near horizontal.

This isn't my turbo swap. This guy went to a VGT turbo and external controller on top of water cooled CHRA, plus a custom exhaust manifold.... Way past my ambitions. He simply shared his coolant routing with me.

Gjswt19, I will be running my coolant from these locations, except with 1/2" stainless lines and fittings. If you need a parts list PM me, and I can bend an extra set when I do mine. Fittings should arrive in a week.

I was referring to the "simply not use" statement. Unless I misunderstood, you cannot run a turbo designed with water cooling without connecting it correctly to the cooling system.

Think about what you wrote there....... The stock 3116 doesn't have water cooled turbo, so the oil still gets cooled by the exact same method. All the data out there points to water cooling primarily working after engine shut down when the turbo experiences heat sink. Proper plumbing allows the...

It states that you cannot run a water cooled turbo without connecting it.

Again from Garrett: The input water (colder side, from the engine’s cooling system) should be plumbed into the lower of the two ports after the housing is rotated. The hotter output water leading back into the engine’s cooling system should be plumbed into the higher port and allowed to travel...

From the Garrett turbo page: While the engine is running and oil is flowing through the turbo’s bearing system, most of the transferred heat will be absorbed by the oil, preventing damage to the bearings and oil seals.

Does the 1079 have a transmission cooler? I thought that was strictly a 5T thing.

I'm putting in a 350HP marine turbo, governor and injectors. The new turbo CHRA comes with water cooling. Not running anything in there I think would make it prone to failure? I'm also no longer running the original air clutch fan, having switched to a commercial over-the-road electric truck...

Has anyone installed a water cooled turbo on a 3116? Where did you tie into the system? Garrett recommends the heater hoses.... Pics please!

Did the one you received have coolant ports??

This is the tag off the one I received.

Any follow up on that purchase? I just bought the same one.
