skunk2 IM installation ?
im sorry if this should be in the tech section, but i figure that this would be one of the best places to put this. so yeah we had a party with a couple buddies of mine last night and we had the brillant thought of putting his sk2 im and sk2 TB on last night. now this prolly wasnt smart, but at that time we thought it was. me being sober i could have done it myself, but not being able to remember where some hoses go to due to drinking. i have supplied a pic of the im with what hose area i need help with to where they go (pic of what they go to woudl be best). also on the gsr throttle body there was hose coming off it and there is no fitting for one on the sk2 TB, so what should be done.
also just reallixed that there is a coolant fitting on the stock throttle body (not the one ont he thermovalve) also which isnt on the skunk2 so where is the the other end go to so i can im guessing blocking off.
in the second picture the bottom IACV is the one he has and bolts right up the right coolant fitting is confusing me i think it went to the stock throttle body at the thermovalve, so again do i loop that to the #2 maybe
#1 dose it go to the oil coolerr thing on the back of the block?

#1 goes to the PCV/breather box.
#2 goes straight into the FITV under the throttle body, FITV goes to IACV, IACV goes to waterpipe. If you're using a s2 TB, #2 would go to the forward facing port on the bottom of the IM, and the outlet to the IACV side furthest the connector, closest port on the iacv to the connector goes to waterpipe. I may be retarded since ive never owned a s2 TB, so it may not have ports at all. If it doesnt, you run #2 straight to the iacv bypassing the throttle body or stock FITV completely.
That diagram you showed is correct, except the port on the top of the manifold over the #3 runner goes to the pcv/breather box. Otherwise, you're correct. If you run a coolant line to that port, its gonna be a good show.

yeah i figured the fitting over #3 runner wasnmt coolant or thated be a fun show lol. i have it running to a box on the back of the block that sort looks like a breater maybe i labeled it wrong on the crappy diagram, i have it as oil cooler? ill post pic of what im talking bout.
by the pic it is what i ment but what you called it lol. so that awesome thanks alot.
im gonna go ahead and make a diagram on photoshop of a skunk2 manifold on b18c with and without skunk2 throttle body. so no on else will have this problem.
