what hose connects where i circled in red or can i jus cap it off

 

forgot to mention its a gsr block

 

might wanna get a bigger picture and pull the camera back a little bit.

 

its above an oil filter looks like you can see the cheap *** fram filter

 

I use the Fram Tough Guard filter, which seems to be fine as indicated by its construction.

 

Pic was taken wit my phone can try o make it bigger but idk...n ya it's above the oil filter but I've never seen one before on ne of my other b18 blocks

 

yup dont trust fram at all. wix is one of the best one found at napa. 100% more trustworthy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIx4Y3TvAPk

 

the one in red goes to your heater core. what happened to the nipple next to it?

 

Thanx So I should jus be able to plug it off cause I have no a/c controls in my car and as far as the nipple next to idk that's how it was when i got it

 

sorry i thought the filter was on the right side. that connection is for the oem oil cooler which is removed for whatever reason on your motor.

 

yes, i'd agree, it looks to be a hose missing from the oil cooler found on some gsr blocks that have it mounted behind the oil filter itself

PS- it looks like in your pic (hard to see, that that engine has an aftermarket sandwich plate mounted in behind your oil filter)

 

Yea it has a sandwich plate on it for the turbo line fittings

 

oil cooler

 

So can I jus cap it off or wat do I do??

 

Loop the lines or get the oil cooler, or get a 96-01 water pipe.

 

When u say loop the line wich lines are u talking about and what would a 96-01 water pipe do for me cause I have one off my old ls motor

 

Here is a picture of a stock b series oil cooler and water pipe to give you an idea.....

 

So basically I gotta get a stock oil cooler??can I jus plug it or is it needed to have?

 

This oil cooler is standard on P72 block motors (GSR & ITR and CTR). They didn't come on the B16As (at least in the US). You can't really install one if you've already got a sandwich plate, but you should probably run an external oil cooler instead. Especially if you are turbo.
