Thread: Help me with my Ve thread

Well I decided to make this thread so I don't have to make thousands of smaller threads with "maybe" simple questions about my Ve install. here was my first question already answered.

Now for my Second question....

I don't know how to run these coolant nipples. Could someone help me out in identifing them and how to route them. Numbers 2 & 3 are the smaller fittings they are the same size. Nipples 1 & 4 are the larger nipples they are the same size.

1 and 4 are for the heater, 2 and 3 are for the throttle body.

you are correct sir

Ok so my next question to you guys is:

1. Is it ok to loop nipples 2 & 3?
2. Does nipple 1 go to the top heater core fitting or the bottom on the firewall? Does this even matter how I run them?

1. yes (also be sure to lock tite your throttle body screws unless your goin to use a de TB)
2. that sounds about right, just remember you need to use an adapter to step up the header core hose for #1 i just used what was on the car for the most part, the last 8 inchs or so i used what came with the ve an just used an adapter thing.. works great i've used it on all my swaps.. its 3/4 to 5/8 it can usualy be found in the help section in most auto part stores..

also dont forget to swap coolant sensors and grind the power steering bracket slot where the high pressure hose bolts to the pump so that you can angle it away from the filter (you must use your stock HP hose..)


im jus gettin this stuff outta the way so you dont have to ask lol.
