s12 cooling probs, in kit car

[serendipity123]

hi i have the s12 engine in a kit car, but not quite sure about all the pipe work, and where it all goes.

can anyone help, i assume the large pipe from the theromstat goes to the rad, the slightly smaller pipe behind the altenator is the return, but theres a smaller pipe behind thats really hard to get to and another one near cylinder 4 which i cant find a home for.

as its in a kit car i dont have a internal heater so i'll just join them up in the engine bay.

please help me out

Yep thats all correct. The thermostat pipe is your top Rad hose. One below near alternator is the bottom rad hose.

Joining the unused water pipes together is your best bet as you have suggested. They do sound like the heater matrix hoses.
