ok guys, need a little help here. I'm trying to bypass my throttle body coolant ****(new TB) and install a new manifold at the same time. Thought it went (1) to (B) and (2 )to (A) but then I see this little prong off the coolant hose connection on the new manifold. WTF is that thing for? SO can anyone tell me with absolute confidence what the correct way to do this is? Also can anyone ID the manifold? The skunk2 "indent" looks fake to me.
Thanks HT.





Then I find my coolant connection has an erection...

 

Does the wtf prong even go all the way through? Or is it just like a block off?

 

it hooks into the bigger coolant fitting

 

Normally on a B16A3 this (WTF) would go to the FITV but the A2 doesn't have it. So you can just loop WTF to 2 and cap off 1.

 

So going 1 to a and 2 to b and capping wtf is incorrect?

 

I'm pretty sure I just found a new sig.

 

 

 

Sooooo.
2-b
A-wtf
And cap 1?
Can anyone verify?

 

Thought you were trying to get rid of that coolant line to the intake. If so:

Cap WTF
Connect 1 and 2

I mean you could cap all 3 if you wanted. Or connect WTF to 1 or 2. Doesn't really matter.

 

I want to keep the lines running to the intake manifold
I just wanted to bypass the throttle body. Basically what I'm asking is...
Does the order of a and b matter? Or can it be reversed?
Like are
2-a and 1-b interchangeable with 2-b and 1-a or can coolant only flow 1 way?

 

B - 1
A - 2
Cap WTF

 

This is what I thought. Thank you sir.
