Water Cooled Patrol Turbos VS Oil Cooled Only, The Big Debate!

Water Cooled Patrol Turbos VS Oil Cooled Only, The Big Debate!

Stuck With Choosing Your New Turbo For Your Nissan Patrol Y61 GU ZD30 DI & CRD.

When It Comes To Turbocharging, Efficiency And Reliability Are Everything. Whether You're Building a Performance Platform Or Managing a High-Demand Fleet, The Components You Choose Directly Impact Output, Longevity, And Maintenance Costs.

That’s Why We’re Here To Talk About a Smarter, Cleaner, And More Effective Solution: Pairing Our CCT 724639 Turbo With Our CCT Water Blanking Caps — And Why This Setup Consistently Outperforms TheVC100 Water-Cooled Turbo In Real-World Applications.

The Problem With Water-Cooled VC100 Turbos

Let’s Start With The VC100. While It's a Solid Unit On Paper, It Brings a Few Drawbacks In The Field:

Extra Plumbing And Potential Leak Points
Water-Cooled Turbos Require Coolant Lines, Which Means More Parts To Install, Maintain, And Potentially Fail. One Small Leak Can Lead To Overheating, Downtime, Or Worse.

Increased Installation Time
Routing Coolant Lines Adds Complexity And Time, Especially In Tight Engine Bays Or During Retrofits.

Unnecessary For Most Use Cases
Unless You're Consistently Pushing Extreme Temps, The Water Cooling Isn't Essential  And Might Just Be Another System To Babysit.

Limited Lifespan
Here's The Kicker — The VC100 Was Only In Service For 2 Years 2000-2002 Before Getting Superseded To The Better Replacement (724639).

Why The 724639 With CCT Water Blanking Caps Is Better

Now Here’s Where Things Get Interesting. The CCT 724639 Turbo, When Paired With Our CCT Water Blanking Caps, Delivers Superior Reliability, Easier Installation, And Long-Term Performance — All Without The Need For Water Cooling.

1. Proven Longevity

Real-World Data Doesn’t Lie:
VC100 = 2 Years Manufacture.
724639 = 14 Years Of Manufacture.
That Kind Of Lifespan Speaks For Itself — Nissan Engineers Knew What That Where Doing When They Made The Swap To Oil Cooled Only.

2. Simplified Install

No Coolant Lines. No Brackets. Just a Clean, Bolt-On Install That Reduces Time In The Shop And Gets You Back On The Road Or Track Faster.

3. Fewer Points Of Failure

Less Plumbing Means Fewer Things That Can Go Wrong — No Leaks, No Coolant Contamination, No Extra Maintenance.

4. Same Performance, Less Hassle

The 724639 Is Built To Take The Heat. When Combined With Our High-Quality Blanking Caps, You Keep Performance High And Complications Low.

5. Clean, Professional Finish

Ditch The Cluttered Look Of Water Lines. With CCT Caps, You Get a Neat, OEM-Style Appearance That Looks As Good As It Runs.
