Talking DIY throttle body coolant bypass

i notice nobody wrote it up on here so i thougth id might as well do it. ive done it on a 02-04 rsx and a 93 civic ex. u notice a big difference if u have hondatas intake manifold gasket. ITS PURPOSE IS TO LOWER INTAKE TEMP ok so this is what u need
tool/materials
in some cases 1/4" fuel line
hose clamps for 1/4" lines
two butt connecters to hook two lines together
something to cut the hose
something to undo the hose clamp

there is two coolant lines going to ur throttle body so when its extremely cold out (freezing temp) ur throttle body doesnt get stuck wide open. dont do this if it gets below freezing temp. basically there is a coolant line coming from a pipe that circulates through ur throttle body to warm it up. . u take on coolant line off of the throttle body. some coolant wil leak out but not much. then take one of the butt connecters and a hose clamp and clamp it onto the hose from the throttle body. then unhook the other coolant line and either clamp it on the butt connector or add a piece of line to make it reach.
basically ur taking the coolant which circulates through ur throttle body and running it around the throttle body to make ur intake charge cooler. sry if its not much help but its 1:00am here and i havent gotten but about 3 hours of sleep the past two days. if u have any questions let me kno and ill b happy to answer them

any free hp is good hp.

hey, is it coolant that goes thru the IACV???
I always wondered what that was...

Also, if you could clear it up a bit...it is a bit unclear about which lines to move and attach and whatnot.
Thanks, tho...repped you for the help.

there used to be a lot better write up on here with this information that had a lot of pictures, but it's obviously gone now...

and it is coolant that runs through the IACV...at least im pretty sure
