Startup help
 

Engine is finally back in after a long time. I’m cranking the engine with the EGI fuse removed to check for oil pressure (unfortunately, gauge stays at zero). I also found a puddle under the car. I think I forgot a coolant hose.

Could anyone help verify this goes to the back of the coolant filler neck? Or not? I plugged the pipe but think that was a mistake.

I’ll follow with some pics.

I think it’s this hose, behind the first injector. I don’t see it anywhere else in the manual. I labeled it, but I think the label fell off its partner.

This is the hose and the place it’s likely connected. I capped the port, but I think that’s wrong.

This is the other end of the same hose.

And the puddle of coolant 🙁

I labeled and took notes on each label… this one says “back of intake elbow.” Huh.

Do I have the turbo coolant line going to the wrong port?

This hose would reach to the port where I have the turbo line…

I watched the turbo installation video again. They said if you want to keep the throttle body line, run it to the middle nipple.

Is the “middle nipple” the one I capped off?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Everything you are looking for is in both the coolant and vacuum diagram. The throttle body does not need coolant running through it. It would be a good idea to remove those worm clamps from the silicone caps. They cut and eat through them. Use fuel injection clamps.

Thank you for the reply. I’ll get some proper spring clamps.

This issue is fixed… no more coolant leak.
