jkgts1 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hello, so i've been working on this car for a long time, 260z with a 2jzgte. Right now I have a coolant hose coming straight out of the top rear of the head and a coolant line running from the water pump around the back of the motor. These I think normally go to the heater core which i decided not to use. So, the idea was just to loop these 2 lines together. Well I went single turbo instead of staying with stock twins. The down pipe that would leave from the turbo would run into this coolant bypass line. Just curious how others delt with this issue? Any advise would be great.

Meph Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 On my 1jz, I capped off the coolant lines for the heater block, tight fitting bolt + JB weld works well for a quick fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgts1 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Im worried that there will not be proper coolant circulation if I do that. This is what I read on some Supra forums regaurding bypassing the heater core. Have you seen any negatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snailed Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 When the heater control valve is closed (heat off) there is no flow, same as capping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really crossed my mind and never thought about it that way. Thanks Edited April 10, 2013 by jkgts1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
