Thread: Coolant flow through TB?

Does anyone know the direction of the flow of coolant through the stock DE throttle body?

i belive its from right to left..

It doesn't matter, it is just a straight in and out. It can be how ever you want or not at all.

It does matter, I'm going to be taking the coolant from there for my turbo, I don't want to be sending even warmer coolant through it. I need to keep it due to the cold chicago winters.

actually it doesnt matter, either line will push coolant through the chra.

He doesnt want to be sending extremly hot coolant through the TB...

I think its stupid to tap into the heater hoses or tb lines. Just drill and tap the coolant housings. less line, less failure points and works great.

I totally agree on tapping the block, but is there a good write-up anywhere? I've searched myself and couldnt find anything.

I just drilled the 2 coolant housings for the coolant hoses with a 1/8th NPT tap. Then put 5/16ths fittings on.

Honestly, same number of fail points. I used barb to barb adapters to the stock TB coolant lines and swivel fitting on the turbo and done. Works great and never any issues.
