Hi.
I have A EF9 SIR.
I swapped to B18C4 bottom, B18C5 head, and running PW0 OBD0 tuned ECU with OBD0 loom
I still have the IM and TB from the B16A1 (will change later)

The problem is the thermostat housing of the B18C4 do not have the nipple for the FITV
So can i do a block off plate on the IM for the cooling water not to come down ?
As i have the 2 holes inside the TB, will it do something strange ?
Or maybe something to be done instead of blockoff plate ?

Thanks for your help

UUUUppp

 

I think, i might be wrong, that you can just plug the coolant lines going to/from the FITV and it will act as its own block off plate.

 

you can block the fitv on a B16A but just to tell you when you start your car when its cooled out it will want to die till you get temp up.

 

94 GSR TB had the FITV mounted to it but its always the same.

I have no FITV or IACV and on cold mornings it idles great, just a little high
