I believe the coolant running through the plate between the TB and the upper intake is to cool the in coming exhaust gas from the EGR, no EGR no need for the hoses
Read that IIRC, years ago, makes sence......the 'stalking teen campers' thingThere are many theories but nobody knows for sure, "Why the water, Ford?".
Some say, it ties in with the dude that stalks teen campers and can only be identified by a hook that he wears for a hand.
This is what most folks do.I’m starting to wonder if I should just cap the water ports and eliminate the lines?
Equated to a Carb intake, the warm water heats up the intake during the warm up phase of start up...???
Yes, but it warms up fairly fast.... And maybe not so much for start up but for better driving characteristics as the car gets to full operation temp...That is also one of the possible explanations.
Thing is: Water and coolant during startup can be below freezing.
Still, the theory exists that it's something like a "heat riser" on OEM carb'd cars.
I’m banking on wester Az and So Cal as not having anything but Optimum tempatures to drive my play thing.
