Still collecting parts to turbo my D150. I have questions about coolant hookups for my Toyota ct26. Some people use their heater hoses to tee off of. Can I use the top of my thermostat housing with an added port to supply coolant? And to add a port to my croosflow radiator to use for a return? Or am I looking at problems with this scenario? |

You'll want the coolant supply to be upstream of the thermostat (possibly drilling and tapping the cylinder head). There's a significant pressure drop through the thermostat and tapping downstream of the thermostat will not get enough pressure to circulate the coolant. |

Thank you mad scientist. How about the port where the temp sensor is? |

Sure, it's functionally the same as the upper radiator hose port. |
