VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 First, remove water hoses from throttle body and connect them with a 1/4" brass hose connector (5/16" will also work, and will be a bit of a tighter fit)and tighten up the hose clamps. You can either leave the hoses long in case you want to reconnect or cut them short for a cleaner look, and you don't have to cap the hose nipples on the throttle body, its a "u" shaped water circuit, not a water injection port.

moolewman 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Interesting to stumble across this just now, as I noted this afternoon that my (recently acquired) VR6 has only one hose connected to the throttle body; some plonker has cut the other one off completely... and I can't see where it's meant to go and connect to. Of course the cut hose dribbles water on the throttle body butterfly shaft. The one that is connected goes to the coolant reservoir vent/return line. I'd like to know where the second hose is meant to go. My second question: what is there to be gained from disconnecting the coolant hoses from the throttle body? Reduce the intake charge temperature? Please advise. Thanks a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
