hey, can i just get a piece of heater hose and run from the firewall to where the water comes out of the intake manifold, or will it kink making them tight corners? is there soemthign im missing? its a 86 BTW

 

That what I did.

I bought the 5 ft piece from Autozone and let it make a gentle curve from the heater core to the block outlet. It does hit up against the boot from the TB to the MAF sensor. This along with my ******* 3" intake piping dropped 3 tenths at the track.

For the TB coolant bypass, I just removed the coolant lines from the IAC housing and ran a bypass line from the EGR (?) thingy to the coolant line on the lower intake manifold.
