new member - need help installing throttle body from 2.7L

[charosenz]

I am building an off road racer. I have a throttle body from a '96 2.7L tacoma and I want to make sure I have the vacuum lines and coolant lines on the throttle body connected right.  Can anybody point me to some pics or diagrams to get this right?  I don't plan to use most of the vacuum line ports, but I am particularly interested in making sure I don't hook up a coolant line to a vacuum port and vs versa.  I would be happy to post pics for folks if that would help.  Thanks a ton! Charlie.

the coolant lines will be the larger two, just blow in one and air should come out the other.

Thanks for the reply.

There are 6 tubes that exit one side that I know are all vacuum lines because they connect directly to holes inside the throttle body.  I will try to attach a photo that is labeled "TBleftside" in this post.

There are 3 more tubes that are on the other side of the Throttle Body.  I am sure at least two of these should be attached to a coolant lines, but not sure which two, or which direction the flow of water should be.  Two of these, one large and one medium come out of some sort of a diaphram device, the other comes out of the throttle body itself. These are visible in a photo labeled "TBrightside" that I will try to attach to this post.  It is these 3 ports that I am not sure about, i.e. wether they are water and if so what direction the flow should be, or if they are vacuum.  I also see some square openings inside the throttle body "downwind" from the throttle plate.  Not sure what these are for or what they are connected to.

the two lines in the pic look like the coolant lines, if you blow in one tube air should come out the other tube, which way the coolant flow doesn't matter, they only help heat up the throttle body faster for emission reasons, so really you don't even need them hooked up.
