having problems installing a motor in my 04 rx8

i got the motor in and almost got it hooked up but can anyone tell me where the vacuum hose on the throttle body goes?not the three on the air intake but the one on the throttle body itself?

That is a coolant fitting....from the back passenger corner of the rear iron...to the lower rad connection area by the OMP

If you thought that was a vacuum line then I suggest looking at an FSM just to make sure you have everything hooked up right before you fire it up.

That's the Mr. Fusion connection! Don't forget that, or you'll require a LOT of plutonium for that Flux Capacitor.
