Can the line that comes out of the back of the water pump housing be run right to the rear rotor, bypassing the TB and BAC???



That's assuming that I remove the BAC and adjust the cold idle thingy in the process.

 

yes, thats what my current setup is, just make sure u get a new hose, and maybe some type of heat shield for it.

 

Hooray! I love taking stuff off of my car. Too bad I have to wait to get all of my blockoff plates. I'm too lazy to make them.

 

Just plug them, no hose to run across the engine. A little piece of hose, a bolt and 2 clamps and you are done on each end.

Cutting off that coolant to the rear rotor won't hurt anything?

 

You wouldn't be cutting anything, Coolant flows thru the engine along the walls of the housings.



The nipple in the back is extra and doesn't benefit the engine in any way, god or bad. All it does is, hot coolant goes out the back, up to the themowax, thru the throttle body, to the BAC then to the back of the water pump housing and back into the engine.

I figured it wasn't a very important line...otherwise I would have cooked my engine when the line under the TB sprung a leak.
