Throttle body water pipe routing pic request please.

[jaffaz32]

Would someone mind showing me how the water pipes should be routed tow and from the water tank, through the throttle body and to and from the engine or where ever they go.

Pics would really help.

The service manual isn't too clear where to come from and go to via the throttle body.

Thanks...

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I was under the impression that the TB coolant lines' only purpose in life was to ensure the throttle plate doesn't freeze in place in cold climates?

I'm (possibly incorrectly?) of the opinion that these can be bypassed/deleted in areas with warmer climates. (And have done so, and seen many others do so, on K series engines without any ill effects. Ambient temperature permitting, of course.)

I'd bypass it. I've done it on other cars.

I also bypass these on all my cars, your heating up the TB for nothing and it won't help performance.

Larry B, any thoughts on this "bypass" thing?

It's IMO designed for very cold climates. I bypassed them on my 3 MR2's without issue. Mind you I live in Texas. Hot hot hot, so depending on where you live should you consider it. But then, I am no Larryb by any means.

This has gone off subject from my original post but as there seems to be talk about bypassing the throttle body i think i have worked out how mine has been plumbed in.

See this thread for more info as i have done a very mini how to. Might help a few out, very easy to do also.
