V1 Engine and cooling plumbing

[Leo Zugner]

I’ve searched quite a bit and hate to ask a question that probably been answered but is there a definitive diagram showing plumbing for an ‘05 supercharged? I’m not sure how to plumb the white tubes that run down the tunnel in particular.

Going from front to the ic rad to back, it doesn’t matter which way the flow goes. Here’s a thread on it

I'm going to piggyback with you, since I have a similar, but different problem. My IC pump doesn't run either. I checked the plug and got no voltage. Checked the 15A fuse and its not blown, but I don't have voltage on either side of the fuse either. Suggestions on what to check next? The...

Here’s a pic of inside the tower. Cooling lines on one side and electrical on the other

Thanks for the link. I’m still not clear on what the white hoses connect to at the engine though. Is there a picture showing what hoses to connect to?

The white pipes serve the intake manifold coolant system. They connect to the heat exchanger at the front of the tunnel and run through the tunnel to the small pump below the intake manifold at the rear of the tunnel.

I don’t have pictures, but you should have an “S” or “Z” shaped hose that gets cut in half to connect the tubes to the heat exchanger at the front. The connections to the pump in the rear… I do not remember if there were coolant lines sent or if I used existing.

The hoses you pulled through your frame at step 1 of your build are for engine cooling that go to the main radiator up front. The white hard likes that go through the center tunnel are for the supercharger cooling system. There‘s a separate small radiator for that up front. They are completely separate systems.

Check out this page and on the next page of my build. It might helps visualize how that heat exchanger mounts and should look. Note that i mounted it it in the wrong mounting holes the first time.

I get it, its a kit car. They're 1/4-28. I assume theyre coated and lock nuts. Can anyone confirm or show a picture? *i misplaced the bag. They are listed on the bag as m6x1. Why we went back to metric is beyond me. :rolleyes:

You'll find that the space between the intercooling manifold (dual pass or not) and the fuel cell...is very tight. I started out with 90 degree turns on tubing and this led to cavitation/aeration of the coolant. I've transitioned to more of a pig tail coolant line set up to reduce the aeration and add some coolant to the system. May or may not assist you in the build but thought I'd bring it up on another SC car.
