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

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.

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?

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.
