Re:anyone reroute their coolant line so it won't bypass the throttle body?
 

The original intent was to keep the throttle body plate from sticking or freezing shut in extreme cold climates. I wouldnt even worry about it...bypass it.

The way I set mine up, it's not bypassed and it makes NO difference. I used the 5/8 hoses that come out of the back of the head & block, just to get more flow....I paranoid like that! ;D

I bypassed mine when i did the skunk2 manifold swap on my b16, i just didnt like the thought of hot ass coolant going thru there, i mean the throttle body gets hot enough and i live in florida, so dont have to worry about freezing here, i think it does make a difference any type of cooling u can do for the intake charge helps...especially in turbo..hence the intercooler..but hey just do it, and see it is really easy..

did it on my 90 integra, no ill effects.

it`s there for another reason also.
it heats up the cold idle valve and shuts it when the coolent warmed up = engine has warmed up.
there are whole bunch of ppl have this bouncing idle problem because of it. (it stuck half open even when the engine is hot)

i didn't know this but i woasn't gonna do it anyways. not worth the trouble.

I did it on my 93 civic coupe. I have a Y7/Y8 mini-me. I did it and go an idle surge. Went from 800-1200. Put the hoses back on and it went away. I never notice a diffeance. Hope that helps.
