I'm not sure if this is the right section but, here's my situation.
I have my h22 out and I'm prepping it to put back in. I was wondering since my new shell (CRX) doesn't have a heater, can I just connect the two coolant outputs that normally go to the heater together? Like get a hose long enough to go from the head over to the other outlet behind the water pump?
I can see on the head I could find a plug and just plug it but, by the water pump, how could I plug that?

 

Second picture.

 

Yes, link them together, you will be fine.

 

Ok cool. I thought so, just wanted to double check. Too bad they don't make a cover for the back of the water pump. Oh well.
Thanks

 

sealed my b16 heater hoses with endcaps from oreilys, works fine no issues yet

 

Sweet! Could you be a little more specific. Like what section, etc. Or do they sell specific hose end caps?
Thanks, I'll definitely look into that.

 

DO NOT put end caps on those fittings! You must circulate water so the thermostat opens.

 

Ok. I saw how they sell them for the K-series, so I figured it would work for the H-series. This car will not be driven on the road. As far as that goes, what would prevent me from just taking the thermostat out completely? I know its purpose is to allow the engine to get to operating temp before allowing coolant to circulate, but if its a drag only, I should be fine right?

 

might get flamed for this

but i dont have a thermosat either, live in Hawaii weather is never under 70 degrees and never over 90 year round. I have read the debate about the water circulating to fast and not actually cooling the block enough but it seems to run fine with no thermostat (technically i have a thermostat but i cut the pring and valve out and just use teh body with gasket. as for the plugs them self they are universal come in a pack of 5 or 6 in assorted sizes, not specific to a engine and can be used on all makes. I believe they were near the vacuum hose adaptors/ blockoffs. I asked an associate for heater hose plugs and he knew exactly what i was talking about i think the pack was less then $5
