Hey guys. Just was wondering what the best way to bypass the coolant lines on the EGR plate was. Is there any certain way to block off the lines coming from piece on the lower intake or do i just need to get a hose connecter and re-route the 2 hoses? I put vacuum caps on the EGR plate, so now i just need to figure out what to do with these 2 hoses. Sorry. I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times but i didnt find anything when i searched.

why exactly are you bypassing the EGR?

because the car has no smog pump or EGR pump so i just figured since all that was gone i may as well bypass the coolant lines.

Um, just get a longer hose and run it from the heater tube to the rear of the lower intake manifold. Come on now, was that so hard to figure out .

I just got some of the same size hose, cut two 2.5" pieces and inserted a bolt at one end with a clamp. I put one on the heater rail and one in the back of the lower intake. You'll find out that the one at the back of the lower intake is a PITA to get at.

thanks. i ended up just running a longer hose. i just wanted to clean up the engine bay a little bit, but i dont feel like taking off a bunch of stuff in order to get to the port on the very back.
