Aftermarket Radiator/throttle body coolant delete

Post by S00TLYFE »

All, I’m looking to delete everything related to the throttle body coolant system, this includes the nipple that comes off the radiator.

Has anyone done this?

Figure I might as well upgrade the radiator while I’m at it and I’d like to remove the stock coolant reservoir and replace it with a smaller remote mounted one so I can eventually run an UMP or Donaldson filter as my stock air box will no longer clear my coilover towers.

Yes, if you live anywhere remotely warm it's not needed.

I just did that and no issues... what do you mean by nipple at radiator? The crossover tube on the radiator that goes into the TB? I kept it and have it directly into the heater hose crossover pipe.

I couldn’t find an aluminum radiator that didn’t have the nipple- I don’t have it hooked up but think the only way to delete it is you doing it
