kinda the look i was aiming for.... i dont think i missed by too much. my opinion is kinda "so-so" just because i put it all together and it was a slow change. . . Thats why i wanted some opinions from people who havent seen it. . . . . . Anywho, Thanks man.

Whatsup with the FITV not having coolant lines connected to it? What transmission and ECU are you using?

As stupid as it might sound, i dont know what the hell a FITV is, but i just didnt connect anythign to the throttle body. i capped off a few of the coolant lines here because i didnt see the point of runnin hot coolant through the throttle body unless i'm livin in alaska... Kinda pointless and as of now, the thermostat is steady at 210 and opens and 216. So far, these coolant hookups havent affected anything.

FITV (Fast idle thermo valve) helps the car idle up during cold starts.

ECU is from a ZC and has been chipped for alittle more fuel and no speed limiter.

The Tranny is a ZC tranny, Using ZC axles

FITV = Fast Idle Thermo Valve. Its located right below the throttle body. I'm surprised that your not having any idle issues at start up.

I believe it the inlet hose comes off the intake manifold and outlet hose goes to the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve). I'm not 100% sure on that because I haven't looked at one in a while since my OBD-II Auto D-Series setup only utilizes the 3-wire TB-mounted IACV.
