R V8 water pump end, heater hoses
Simon - 4/2/08 at 02:09 AM

Peeps,

I'm using the pipework for the (production car) heater to cool my turbos.

They've been blanked off on mine and I can't remember how they should go.

There are two pipes sticking out the front under the manifold.

Pics would be a great help. Can't find any specific pics in Haynes book, the R V8 tuning books or on the web.

Cheers very much

ATB

On the SD1 engine, one connector was at the back of the (standard, water filled) manifold and the other was a small pipe off the water pump pipe, via a metal pipe which ran under the centre of the inlet manifold.

Hopefully the pictures show it better than I can explain

correct. there are two elongated S-shped hoses that fit from the two pipes to the back of the water pump.

as ^^^ says, one of the pipes is a steel pipe that runs under the manifold.

The same at the back - again two outlets that go to the heater.

The water pump connects to radiator - that is the inlet and one of the hoses taps off that; in case you need the flow to be directional.
