Hi guys does anyone have an idea and pictures on how to setup all water hoses on b series, for a race car?

I mean what to do with the water line coming out fro int manifold for example and with the hoses starting from termostat....

any ideas, help would be appreciated!

thanks

For a racecar? How is that any different than a regular car?
maybe you might want to look around the Drag Racing forum.

^Can you be more specific?

ok sorry, i have no ideas on what to to with the bypass intake manifold hose and with the two hoses for heater. since car is bare i think i dont need that hoses. i run a mgnus aluminum manifold whare is prepared the stock water hose nipple.

now i've connected all the hoses doing some kind of bypass but i'm not sure the water is flowing correctly, this why at aronud 150F the hoses are pressurized like at 200F. I'm 90% no air in the circuit but not sure on correct water flowing direction

When he said be more specific, he meant be more specific about WHAT B16 you're using. 1G B16A, 2G B16A, B16B, B16A1-7. There are differences.

This is the setup i have in my car.
just would know what to do with the heater hoses coming from therm housing and side head, and also with water bypass from manifold to therm housing. i currently closed all of them since i no longer have heather and thermostat.

What do you guys think, would work properly?

thanks

Are you saying you don't have either a thermostat or thermostat housing? If so, why?

Pleiadi79

I have the housing like the one in the picture i posted. i dont have only the thermostat inside the housing.
Its a race car i no longer have heater. What to to with the hoses that are originally connected to the thermostat housing and to the manifold. Thats all.
is ti ok to close them? wil post picture

Is it my imagination or are you making this harder than it has to be? Just loop the lines at the engine; oulet to inlet. Or just cap them off. Anything at the firewall you can remove.

This is the answer i was expecting!

Is it working?

Pleiadi79

At the moment yes. hadnt time today to get it on working temp. with the old setup with hose looped i blow the headgasket so i suspect it happened due to wrong hose looping/ connection. That why of my question.
