Will this work okay?

Hi everyone,

I'm just about to put the head back on the block. And while I was putting all the hoses under the plenum in order, I noticed 2 cracked hoses. I went online to look at prices for a heater hose kit but they are pretty expensive and I'm pretty poor right now. So I started looking more in to the hoses and what they do...

Now I'm wondering, since I'm deleting the stock oil cooler would it be okay to run one big hose from the thermostat housing right to the coolant return port on the block. That way I delete the existing ports to the stock cooler and delete the heater hoses. I don't have anything under the dash so it would work out really well if this is possible.

But if it is possible I will be cutting off 1 of 2 water supply tubes to the turbos. This is were I have no clue. Would it be okay to close off 1 of the 2 ports and have 1 port for a twin turbo set up? Both 1 and 2 port eventually meet together at the back of the head.

Okay so this is for deleting the oil cooler, I know its shite but its all I got lool.

The line marked in white is the existing main water tube with ports coming off of it. #1 Goes to the cooler then exits and goes to #2 returning to the block. #3 is 1-2 turbo water feed lines. It will be deleted if I remove the existing water tube. #4 is the top heater hose, this will also be deleted. The line in blue would be the big fat hose coming from the thermostat housing and returning to the block to be in circulation.



Here is the actual tube that I want to get rid of marked in white again. I would need to take off the 2 vaccum lines attached to that tube... I also posted this pic on facebook and a couple members suggested I get rid of the air regulator. It would free up a lot of space. How many of you have done it? I'd love to free up more space haha




Thank you for reading, Any info or tips would be great!
