why on b16b and b18cr the coolant past from the idle valve? the idle valve don't measure the heat
 
For cold countries that have snow. Prevent ice up.
 
It's funny people use thermal gaskets etc etc but no one ever mentions the hoses taking hot coolant near the manifold/TB. I've routed the hoses that normally go to the throttle body around it instead, as they would surely pass a lot of heat to the throttle body - not ideal, as long as you aren't in a country where ice up may be an issue it's fine.

thanks. I am in hot country so I will bypass these lines. this is the most cheap mod you can make and I think its works fine
 
Yep I haven't bypassed my idle valve but have bypassed the throttle body hoses and is fine
