(2thumbs) Awesome Protege Brian.
Been away from the forums for quite awhile and never had a chance to experience the anticipation with the others, but just reading through it had me on the edge of my seat. It's awesome how you have the patience and knowledge to piece this machine together. Your build is definitely all inspiring. You seem like a pretty nice guy when it comes to answering questions and hope to get some feed back when I start my forge build.
Again, love the car and keep the updates coming!

I can explain it really well and will take a photo soon for you.
The Radiator has a single AN16 In and Out
The Coolant Pump takes in AN16 from the radiator but has AN4 and AN16 Outlet.
The AN4 goes to the Wastegate, then the Turbo and returns to the plate on the exit of the head.
The AN16 goes to a custom plate that attaches to where the thermostat was attached.
The Water Pump was removed and replaced with a blocking plate (Removing the Pulley from the system)
There was a plate made for head port where the coolant leaves the engine.
There is AN16 and AN4 plus the coolant temp sensor on that plate.
The AN16 Goes back to the radiator.
There is no Heater Core, No Mechanical Thermostat.
The Speed of the pump dictates the engine temperature.

I will gladly give you precise specs and detail of operation and pitfalls encountered with my plans..
Plus some detailed "Cause and Effect" in regards to the actual coolant pump control MAP.

i would really appreciate that. i probably will keep my heater core and everything, it gets cold in CO. just wanting the AN fittings all around. see that being an issue?

The system operates on the basis of no heater core, however I have designed a second circuit in my system that runs on a smaller electric pump through the heater core
It takes coolant from the drivers side of the head and returns it to the main inlet of the engine
I can draw it up for you

Just checked the Meeting of the Mazdas attendee list and saw your name...may have jumped out of my seat just a little bit. I'll be coming up with NATOR NY. Looking forward to meeting you, and your car!

I am happy to hear that you will be there too. It's an unusual meeting... Not really a car show, but a BBQ and totally awesome environment to talk cars and have a great time.
