Default GSR water hose connections - help.

Can somebody please post a picture of where all the water hoses should go on the block?

My 1996 JDM B18C swap came without the thermostat housing. I ordered one from the dealer before a friend gave me one from another JDM B18C block (both are shown in the second picture).

Following the part diagrams for a GSR, I managed to hook up all the hoses except for a couple going out of the thermostat housing. According to the diagram below, there is one small nipple coming out of the thermo housing to connect to the outlet at the upper radiator hose connection on the head. Well, the problem is, that nipple is nowhere to be found on either one of my housings.



The JDM housing has an extra large connection that I don't know where to attach to.



The question is which housing I should use and what should I do with the missing or extra connections?

Anyone???

Can I just cap off the small connection above the upper radiator hose connection? I don't have a connection to it from the thermo housing.

Surely its for the Heater Matrix Return?

As on the USDM main coolant neck/pipe (that runs from the water pump to the Thermostat) there are 3 nipples, Heater Outlet, Oil Cooler and IACV, where as on the JDM there are only 2, Oil Cooler and IACV

Basically instead of being on the Pipe its on the Thermo neck instead

On the left one will go to the intake manifold and the other will be to the heater

I just changed my stock gsr into a skunk2 and i am lost on the air tubes and water hoses. I have an extra hose.
My coolant tube under my intake manifold only has 2 nipples on it and on my thermostat.
None of my friends has seen anyone like it. Can some one put up some pics of how to install it.

Hey guys! I need some help please! On the very first diagram, can you tell me what size bolts #21 and #22 are? My car didn't come with them when I bought it, and I can't run it without the housing being bolted to the block! Thanks.
