Looks like the coolant tube that supplies coolant to the turbo. Btw why is your ignition coil common ground just sitting there ?

okay i had a feeling it might have gone to the turbo. but the ignition ground i havnt quite got to grounding it yet. theres still few little things i have to do before starting er up. battery isnt even in. i was just trying to get all the liquids in it to make sure i wasnt missing anything

I'm not being disrespectful but have you done an engine transplant before?

I c . Ok not discriminating just don't want you to ruin your RB by hooking something where it shouldn't go. Like a coolant line to a vacuum port. 😳 yep someone actually done it. Wasn't me and it was an STI engine .

first time removing and dropping the engine in. had to replace my old one since it was pooched. i get help from my friend and his father. he built a drift car and his father is a mechanic so i had lots of help with the major stuff. it got dropped in yesterday and i hooked everything up today. i marked basically everything that goes with eachother so it was easy to connect accept for a few things that i missed.

and i just checked the turbo line is already into the back of the block. so there is 2 water lines at the back of the block and still need to figure out what that open one is

Ok. Not sure about the 20 but my 25 has the coolant tube from throttle body hook up there.

you sure coolant goes into the throttle body? i do have a line under the throttle body thats not connected to anything but ithought throttle body would only have possible vac line

I'm not 100% on 20. My 25 has 2 coolant tubes at the t/b. one coming from the bleeder screw for coolant into side of t/b and the other one out the other side of t/b and into a metal line under the intake manifold.

i think it might be for the heater. seeing as its connected to the heater line which that goes into the fire wall. and i cant find anything else to connect to. so i think im going to just block it off and see if anything over heats
