just some quick pics of my coolant bypass i did pretty simple, still uses the metal hose thing, used a metal link from the top and the pastic hose "keeper" and wahla.. i did this for simplicity possible power increase and hot weather no bogging...

 

no comments geez

 

you did it the hard way, a ball bearing inserted into the 2 lines is the stealth mode of doing it

 

Are you looking for validation? It looks like that line runs awfully close to your serpentine belt.

 

The simple easy way to do it place 5/16 ball bearing in hose between spots a and b and spots c and d

Done!

 

So, what does this do exactly?

Cliff notes are fine...

 

it wont touch the belt i swear

 

keep hot coolant away from the manifold/throttle body...its there to keep things from freezing up in the winter time. gains are prolly very minimal if any at all, i always thought it was a cool mod tho lol !

 

Back from the dead

So your IAC is uncapped ?

 

you shouldn't do this to s2000's...

forces the iac to heat up via convection, which will make your engine run rich / inefficiently
