So i ordered my first hmotors jdm gsr.


im in the middle of swapping said motor into my 2000 civic coupe EX which was previously swapped with the b16a2 to be an "si clone"

i have a few questions for some of the gsr gurus on where my coolant lines go because on my new skunk2 manifold (got rid of gsr intake for emissions) some of the spouts are different than the b16 intake manifold on the bottom rear right spout which i circled in red, there is a separate smaller spout that i have no idea where it goes.. as well as the thermostat housing, its angled differently for the loop from the housing to the head of the motor. (i assume i need integra heater hoses and radiator hoses?) or do i switch back to the b16 thermostat housing to make it easier?

i also have a few questions on my IAT. on the b16, the sensor is pre-manifold and its a weird plug compared to the jdm gsr, itr, or del sols. Because i'm using my b16a2 wiring harness with a usdm gsr ecu instead of the jdm gsr's, i don't know what exactly to do with that sensor... do i cut the wires and create a connector from the jdm harness? or is there maybe a how to lying around somewhere on Honda-tech.


i tried searching for these topics but maybe i'm being a little to specific because i couldn't find anything but a how to guide with no pictures and no mention of any of the problems i'm running into.


Here are the pictures of my manifold with the extra coolant spout.
