Civic EG

Hi all who read this, new to the EG forum, How many of you out there with turbo B series have their heaters still working? still off of the factory pipes?

I have a B18c turbo, heater pipes have been used for the turbo cooling in reverse. Any way around getting the heater core to work? how much flow does a standard water pump produce?

Do you have any pics of your setup? I don't understand how or why someone would remove the heater lines to cool the turbo

I don't see how the two would interfere with each other.

There's plenty of boosted B series that still have heat so it's practical to do

^x2



sounds like whoever you got the car from was quite creative

Instead of the heater core lines running to the firewall, they re-routed them to the turbo.



All you'd have to do is cut the hose, insert a Tee fitting, and then run a hose to the heater core. just look on stock civic to see where each hose needs to be hooked up.

what exactly is being cooled? the oil that runs through the turbo?

Exactly. Most ballbearing turbos are also watercooled.

Yeah its a water and oil cooled turbo, its on a low mount set of custom made extrators. Ill take some photos of it this weekend.

I was told to tee into the actual radiator hose side of things, i just dont want to put more strain on the water pump or slow the turbo's flow of water incase it becomes a stale flow.

Where is the heater heat seclector slider thingy controling? the last thing i want is the heater core hot all the time, Its winter down here in NZ atm, but not in another few months.
