A few F4RT questions.

[yellow_chris]

Basing these questions on the megane 225 engines.

As the turbos are water feed, where does the water feed and return come from and go to? is it the thermostat housing? if so is this able to fit a F4R?

Oil feed and returns..where on the f4rt are they located and are these ports available on the f4r engine?

thanks

Yeah water cooled and its a octopus hose i think. they also have a auxiliary water cooler for when the engine is off.
Oil feed is from the head iirc. and oil return the block.

On a F4R, the water feed is tee'd off just before the heater matrix.

Oil feed is tee'd from the oil pressure sensor and returned to the sump.

Ive read up about the turbo etc but i cant find any information about where the oil feed and return are located on the head/block.

For the likes of the auxiliary water cooler that wouldn't be necessary for me

 

[lemonnobby]

Sorry there both in the block. i may have a pic somewhere.

 

[yellow_chris]

thanks for that cupman ...
few more questions now lol.

do you know if the f4rt sump is a direct fitment to a f4r?

Unfortunately, I dont. Lol

 

[yellow_chris]

Did you use the T-piece form a megane on your engine? is your turbo water cooled?

 

[Cupman29]

On the aftermarket forge hoses there is a connection just before the matrix to allow a return when the heater is on cold. Just take a feed from there to the inlet of the turbo and the same from the outlet to the return hose.

Hope this makes sense.

 

[yellow_chris]

I can easily T in to the coolant hoses i suppose.. i just thought that if the feed and return were off of the thermostat then that would be an easy change and sort that problem out .

 

[Cupman29]

The feed is off the stat in a way as it tees off about 6 away from it, the return is on the return pipe going to the radiator.

 

[yellow_chris]

I just need to get the id of the coolant hose now

 

[Cupman29]

I'll check tomorrow for you as I got hose tails and stainless tees made up for the standard hoses then when I fitted the forge hoses I realised I never needed them.

The turbo connections are 13mm.

 

[yellow_chris]

did you just use forge hoses off of a megane? is the td04 14t your using?

 

[Cupman29]

Clio hoses and yeah.

 

[yellow_chris]

thanks for your help btw . is yours a low boost or a megane hybrid?

 

[Cupman29]

Megane hybrid.

No bother, cheers

 

[yellow_chris]

what did you do for the oil return ?

 

[Cupman29]

Returned it to the sump.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Like this.

 

[yellow_chris]

Is that off a megane or home made job?

Off my f4r, it's what you would get from ktec if you bought there lpt kit

 

[yellow_chris]

ahh i seen that kit...looks quite expensive for an oil line kit but i suppose its worth spending the money if its all a direct fit.
