Want to block the small hose outlets and remove the small hoses all together.
But don't know if it would hurt the engine..
Any ideas?

Now, if you planning on building a show car that just needs to move from point A to point by and the engine isn't going to be on for a long period of time then u can block those lines off to make for a cleaner looking engine/engine bay.
Really depends on what you are doing that for, if your daily driving, and drifting/autoX, and all the fun stuff we like to do with Hachies, don't mess with the cooling system.

At minimum you will need to keep the 16mm thermostat bypass pipe from the head coolant outlet to the thermostat. Oh and obviously the main 30mm radiator pipework.
There are two 8mm hoses feeding the throttle body(T/B) to provide cold running idle up, removing these will cause the engine to hunt at idle.
If you loop the heater hoses the engine may run too hot but if you fit a small restriction in the loop that should help.

This would be important to say in your initial post. The purpose of the car will effect what you can and cannot do.SiLeNcEbOnE wrote:That is why i took pictures because i do not know what their purpose are or what name they gave them.

If you are building your own drag car the first step should be learning what everything is, what you need and what you don't.
It is much easier to figure out if something is a heater line or something more important than it is to build a motor or car that will do what you want it to do.
I assume you have an FSM. If so this will tell you most of what you need to know about what is what. Learn it and know it front to back.

If i can't come here and ask questions then i"ll go away if i'm bothering you.

It's not that you are asking questions or that you are trying to learn.
It's that you aren't giving jack for info on what you are trying to do and made no particular effort to figure out the easy stuff first then come here to ask questions when you get stuck.
The FSM will show you most of this stuff more explicitly and faster than we can tell you.
It's like an encyclopedia on the subject you are asking about. We would have to write a whole book on the subject to cover it as well as the FSM does.
A quick Google search pulls up a rediculous amount of information on the cooling system.

You have been waiting two days for answers.
I pulled that information up in 30 seconds using only Google. If I wanted more info I would search this forum and a few other spots.
When you get to the point of having questions that can't be answered faster by searching it will help a lot to give as much info as possible on what you are trying to do. Otherwise we just wont' be able to give useful advice or we will assume you are trying to do impractical mods to a street car.
I'm not trying to be an ass, piss you off or chase you off.
Just trying to make the best use of all our time and available resources.

You could have at least figured out the name of what you were talking about so we didn't have to guess by pictures.
But I am still quite confident that Google would have answered your questions faster had you really wanted.
More importantly if you did just a little research and understood how the system works you would know that you can block off the heater lines.
In fact the hot/cold dial on your dash does exactly that. Switch it to cold and it turns off the flow on that circuit.

That's directly searching for info on the 4AGE and took another 30 seconds.

Yes i got my answer no thanks to you.
I also asked regarding the water outlet, i wanted to move it over and asked but no answer.
I'm just going to go ahead and do it and not ask here anymore.. If people are going to be this rude then no not going to come here and ask. I don't like people that are rude for no good reason or anyone that is negative all the time.
It was easier to ask for info that you needed instead of being so rude. I wouldn't reply in such a way to anyone that is asking for info even if they can google or not. If your here to help then help in a polite manner.
As i said i'm going to move the water outlet as well and update later on if there was any issues or not.

you really make it sound like it is some kind of priviledge to spend time answering your questions.
Go ahead and call people an ass but when you act like one there is no doubting who the real ass is.
Some of the stuff people ask questions about and demand an answer for have previously taken someone time, money and experimentation to work out, my guess is that you will be the one with the knowledge to pass on regarding your particular question.
So yeah, let us know how you get on....

There is enough information just in this thread and links contained within to answer your outlet question if you wanted to actually try to understand the system. If you had trouble finding the solution I could help you try to find the answers but since you have responded the way you have and only seem interested in being spoon fed answers I feel disinclined to acquiesce.
Good luck with your project and let us know how it works out.

Good luck...
