13b-re swap help

Hey, Im in the process of doing a 13b-re swap, but I got held up in the middle of it for a few months and I forgot what some of these fittings are for.

So what are fittings A-F for?

If I recall, 'C' goes to 'E'.

And I no longer have a heater core, so what should I do with coolant fiitings 'E' & 'F'?

oh yeah, screw emissions equipment. =P

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

"F" look like the heater hose to firewall line

hmmm D is coolant, but goes to the back or your water pump.
F is coolant (dont know where to through) same as S4 turbo block as well.

Now the manifold ones Im not sure (im trying to find a maniold myself for my 13b-re.

But I think B is for the mabck of the oil injection plugs.

A, C, E are for the Rats nest ?, I would assume if using a aftermarket ecu, you may not need them. (well unless you need a vac source point. (personally will be using the one behind the TB for that.

Also whats your engine sitting on? for a second was going to ask about your engine hoist holding points ? but noticed nothing is bolted on

A - not neccessary put a nipple cover over it
B- cover it up, your nipples are showing.
C- not neccessary, cap it
D-i think its the coolant that goes to the TB (not neccessary), mine just went to the turbo
E- can't see it
F-Heater hose

D Im confident goes to the back of the water pump assembly, its part or the bypass when the thermostat is still closed.

I'll post a pic later

A,B, and C are all linked together and serve no purpose if nothing is connected to them. We just pull the nipples out of the UIM and weld them closed to make it look clean.

D is the throttle body coolant line, if you have done the TB mod then you can either loop it to the WP housing or remove the nipple, tap the hole and plug it. We tap and plug.

E is to supply boosted air to the primary injectors to aid in atomization. Not really needed.

F is the heater hose.

Thanks for the help.

ryu is correct, its a kgparts fuel rail.

and yeah, the engine is sitting on some 2x4's on the floor in that picture, but now its quite comfortable on an engine stand.

I took the heater core out of my car, so "F" (heater hose) has no purpose. Should I find a way to cap it or reroute it somewhere?
