Hey guys, just got my hondata intake manifold gasket on my b18c, question is do i bypass any part like the throttle body,, or anything ,or do i leave all the hoses routed the correct way?, read something about someone bypasing something ,can't remember.

 

Mine went on like it belonged there from the factory

 

do you have a b18c as in sir-g or type r? they use different gaskets and you may have the wrong one

 

Yup, they're designed to be direct fir OEM replacements, but WAY thicker.

not asking about fittment. asked about bypassing the coolant lines.

you can do it, i originally didnt, but since my car now is just about track only, and my iac is near 100% duty, with the big injectors, there really isnt a need for it, BUT IF YOU DO, and you dont seal off the passage on the FITV, it will idle high untill manifold temp reaches the FITV and lets it idle down, i have a piece of thick plastic in there.
