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!

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 !

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

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