    Hose questions

    Right coming to hose my engine up either im missing something or blind or maybe onto a good thing

    At the min i have 2 ports off radiator the top feeding into the top part of the water pump (Engine)

    And the bottom connection is to the water pump.

    I am not running a heater matrix but there is a connection at the back of the engine where do i plumb this too or can i simply blank it off and just have the 2 hoses as i cant see any more?

    Running carbs too.

    Hope someone can help

    Thats the AE86 water arrangement above, if i remember correctly the outlet on the back provides a bypass thingy (technical term ) and allows water to circulate around the engine before the the thermostat opens to avoid hot spots around the cylinders, should be a piece of solid pipe running down the side of the engine.

    The other outlet on the rear is the flow to the heater matrix which can just be looped the return for the matrix.

    Cant remember where those 2 small front ones go, sorry.

    I hope this helps
