Default Skunk2 Intake Manifold on 96 JDM GSR... NEED HELP!

Hello everyone I have 94 Civic ex with a JDM 96 GSR swap. I recently installed a Skunk2 Intake Manifold and i am having an over heating problem. I am not sure but i think its because of the hose that comes under the distributor cap is plugged. If someone could please help or even show pictures it would be great. I would like to get this solved soon since Honda day is not to far away.

Thanks in advanced

Thank you. Is it possible for you to post a pic of the hose your speaking of that is plugged?
You aren't speaking of the hose that attaches to the thermostat are you? Because that would def be an issue!!!

That hose is for the heater core. You can leave it off but make sure you're not losing coolant. If there is coolant visible, add some more and bleed the system to be sure.

Yes, just make sure the plug is on there tight and no coolant is leaking.

Perfect thanks Bro. Also just one more question. On the new Intake manifold there is 2 inlets a big that plugs right onto the block and the little inlet plugs into the TB right?

You really don't need any of those coolent line to run your motor safely. Just a radiator and inlet and return.
