Coolant Routing Question

[88turbobird]

My 88TC track build will be using a non water cooled turbo and I do not have a heater core. For coolant routing, I'm thinking of the following:
- Lower radiator hose to water pump (like normal)
- Upper radiator hose to thermostat housing (like normal)
- Hose from thermostat housing nipple to lower intake manifold

Does anyone foresee any issues with this? Based on the diagram I found, I believe this should be fine but wanted to get opinions first

No oil cooler either?

[88turbobird]

Correct, I will not be using the stock coolant based oil cooler (I will be using a thermostatic oil cooler sandwich plate with a front mount heat exchanger).

[Stinger]

Yes, that should be fine as you're just bypassing the turbo, heater core, and oil cooler and connecting direct to where that coolant circuit eventually terminates.

Sounds good to me. Something else I thought of: I'm planning to use a water pump that does not have a secondary nipple on it. On my last setup, I had this nipple tie into the thermostat housing nipple and then ran to the lower intake manifold. Do you foresee any issues with eliminating this tie in point? I don't think so but not sure if I'm missing something.

[Stinger]

I don't see any issues with it.

Thank you for the confirmation
