It doesn't matter which direction the waters flows through the turbo, just that it does. To do this it needs a high pressure side and low pressure side.
The low pressure side is on the inlet side of the water pump. The spinning water pump creates suction on whatever source it is hooked up to which we can use. This can be on the water pipe under the exhaust manifold or on the hose from the radiator.
The high pressure side is going to be on exit of the head, before the thermostat. The water is being forced through the engine, out the head and the restriction of the thermostat creates the high pressure we need. The thermostat housing has a bunch of hookups for the hoses, or places to tap for an AN fitting.
I hope this helps.
Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
yeah thats how i was going to plumb it, just wanted to make sure
i have the water outlet at the front of the head but im assuming it wont make a difference
I welded a bung fitting on the metal pipe that goes right below the exhaust. Makes for a short connection piece. (AN hoses are insane in price.) I then ran a line from the otherside of the turbo to my front mounted thermostat.
