The D16 intake manifold should have a fitting that takes the place of the second return line.

- Thu Jul 08, 2010 2:55 pm #203663 Im doing my research before the swap on Saturday. found this Pic which is going to be really helpfull. Not sure what manual its from but anyway... It is a diagram which states 2 models D15B7 and D16Z6 (just happens to be the 2 models that I am swapping to and from). Is this because they are identical? I hope so :) and I guess this is the entire cooling system? I am a complete n00b, excuse the stupid questions I'm learnin as I go

Cheers :D
