    Ca18det pipes at rear of engine

    Hi all bit of a issue trying to get my s13 closer to the road
    Any way the issue I'm having is




    The pipe that's marked I'm wanting to know what it is?

    I'm thinking as it could be something that connects to a air con unit? As water comes out of it when I squeezed the radiator pipe. The issue I have if it is something to do with the air con is that I don't have the air con and wasn't planning on running one so any help would be ideal

    3 coolant lines on back of head.

    2 are feed return for heater matrix (go through bulkhead

    1 smaller line is turbo coolant return

    Ok so in this pic the outlet on block with arrow is matrix feed.


    In 2nd pic 3b is matrix return. (Pipe under plenum)

    I would join these 2 together to maintain flow through the block.

    It is all a bit wonky as I've had pics on some threads that are being displayed and others that are broken. All hosted by shitbucket.

    They're also flaming my inbox with bollox about how fantastic a service they offer and why don't I upgrade to one costing only $400 a year and here is an amazing $10 discount if I upgrade in the next 30 seconds.

    e.g. http://sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?5...=1#post6801208

    ...or is it showing ok for me but broken for everybody else ?

    It's possibly the easiest thing to do but that's not how the matrix works. When set to cold the water cock on the matrix is shut, no flow. When heat slide is moved off cold the water cock is open, the hot coolant goes though the matrix and is returned to the pump cold. If you just loop them, it returns hot. Loop them and put a plug in the hose, 2 hose joints. Trying to blank them is 4 joints.

    The photobucket plugin is disabled and I can see your photos.
