Ok just changed over to a skunk2 manifold and I dont know what line if any even still hooks up to this vacuum source.



And this is for my water heater correct?



And finally did I hook this coolant line up correctly?

From the lowest pic. The water line should go from the main water line on the block to the IAC open connector, that's circled in the first pic. The small water nipple from the intake flange should run to the throttle body.

 

could you copy/paste onto paint brush and show me where they should go? thanks

 

SO this is right?



then what line hooks up to this one?

Yep.

From throttle body.

You may want to get rid of that stupid hard line for the heater hose. Use a 5/8" fuel hose. Do not damage the thin-walled nipple on the firewall for the heater. You will regret it.

If the chasis uses an OBD-2 EVAP system, you'll also have to find a way to work the EVAP purge onto the manifold b/c the hose and nipple sizes are totally different. You might want to think about tee'ing into the PCV or brake booster hose, or just leaving it open to atmosphere if you don't have to pass a visual.

 

So which part of the throttle body?
I see only one source for coolant and its taken by the tps sensor.
So the line with green tape on it is hooked up wrong? This is how it was on the gsr manifold.

 

The one with the green tape is correct. Take the other nipple on the pulley-side of the throttle body and connect that one to the nipple on the intake manifold.

 

I cant believe people will spend $$ on aftermarket **** and not even spend the 20 bucks on a dam manual. I know the 20$ manuals are nt great but stuff like this would not even have to be posted.

I have 2 manuals. but the problem here is that
1- its a b18c into a civic (my 3rd swap)
2-skunk2 intake manifold swap onto a b18c
3- with this swap you lose alot of vacuum lines and atleast 1 sensor
4- i dont have the helms manual

 

All but #4 are irrelevent. If you know the function of each sensor and actuator, you can figure out how to route the vacuum and coolant lines pretty easily. B18B and B18C engines have really simple vacuum routing b/c the emissions and engine management systems use a bare minimum of sensors and actuators.

Not that I don't mind helping you whenever I can, but you might find it easier to use the manuals on http://www.redpepperracing.com

 

So this coolant line is missing on the b18c manifold. look here-


and heres the back of the type R/ skunk2 manifold


So once again what line hooks up to this coolant nipple?

 

the new skunk 2 manifold nipple &gt; Fast idle thermo valve

FITV&gt; IAC

IAC&gt;Back of block

 

You've probably got the throttle body line routed to the upper radiator hose housing. So, you have to either tee the throttle body line so that it can go to the upper radiator hose housing nipple and the intake manifold nipple, or simply cap one of them off.

Lets see a pic of the throttle body. You have one coolant line running from the throttle body to the IAC....then one from the IAC to the block. There should be a line that connects the throttle body to the cooling system to complete the loop. That should be from the nipple on the Skunk 2 manifold to the throttle body.

 

So is this wrong or right? On the gsr manifold i believe it was hooked up like this. So I need to tee it of right there? Would vacuum plastic Tee's work here or do I need brass tees?


Or can I get away with just capping this coolant nipple off?

I use the little white plastic vacuum tee's. Use 5/16" barbed.

Personally, I like to tee the lines, but you can plug it and still be fine. The lines will be less messy this way and will be easier on you b/c you won't have twice as many hose clamps to use and tighten down...which can be a pain b/c it's in a slightly tight spot. Keeping it simple will also make it much easier to work on if you need to disassemble stuff to get to other local systems.

Use a 2" length of 5/16" fuel hose, slap a M8 bolt in the end of it, and hose clamp both ends.

BTW, you are correct:

 

thank you very much sir, you've helped me so much in this thread. The motor is in now and looking great. I did the whole wire tuck and engine bay repaint thing.
