You can either A. Bypass the heater core by connecting a hose to the water by pass pipe directly to the heater fitting on the top of the head way at the back near the firewall. Or B. Swap water by pass pipes from a USDM 7M. <--- Not exactly fun.

Yes, the guy I bought the car from swaped in a JDM motor at some point. How about if I extend the heater hose and loop it around so it connects on the passenger side inlet? Sounds easier than swaping out the bypass pipe. Will it work?

Yes it will work, but will look ugly and you must keep it from coming near any part of the exhaust.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. Ugly is not a big problem. Nothing few pink zipties can't fix.

BTW what's wrong with JDM engines? Mine runs like a clock, no CEL. The only problem was the person doing the swap. Are they underpowered or something?
