with a small hose clamp, do you think it will hold the pressure? or do you think it'll blow off

Here's a pic

this is the one that comes from the throttle body

shit lol

I got an idea, what if I bypass the damn throttle body lines altogether

here I circled it

the one with the X used to go from there to the upper radiator hose waterneck

what if I just skip that and go from the circle to the upper radiator neck
that should work right

Is this for a SR or KA??

KA throttle bodies aren't too expensive.. so I would suggest you replace it, unless you want to bypass it?

It's just so the tb doesn't stick in cold weather.. and based on your avatar, you're in a warm area so it shouldn't matter too greatly.
Z owners bypass their TB coolant lines...

Yup, I'm bypassing those mofos! Tomorrow, I clean my intake mani. Friday, parts come in, everything put back together. And I finally get to drive my car again after 2 weeks! (Finals and a small trip put off time to work on car)
