Well, sorry about that. As I said I used the large size nitrile vacuum caps available from most parts stores. Plenty thick and work fine. Basically the same part as the right side OEM cap but come in different sizes. Never had a problem...
does anyone make silicon nipples to block off coolant pipes??? i don't want rubber

that's alright man. i got like 5 different size packages of caps for like $15. so no biggie. i was out of caps anyway haha

When i did my swap i used silicone caps but what i did was fill the cap with jb weld and bend the pipe a bit, this is on a 1.5JZ swap.

the thin ISC pipe and the non used heater pipe on the exhaust side

With my 2JZ, I also have 1 small port which I am using a vacuum cap on. I bought a 2nd coolant pipe, so that I can chop that piece off and have it welded shut.
I've also thought about pressing/squeezing it shut, then using some of that metal stuff that you can mold together to fill/close it permanently. Just not totally confident in using that material to shut off the fluid/port yet.

no worries, misinterpreted a comment from the other thread i guess.
my comment in the other thread was based on the fact that I sandblasted the shit out of the lines, and didn't blast through a plated or coated layer (if there was electroless nickel or zinc, i'm fairly certain I would have gone through it). 1 year later, i've yet to see any evidence of oxidation or scaling. I might have to chop up my spare tube now to prove myself wrong.
Sorry, I try to use more straightforward words here than in my daily work...insert oxidize for rust if you want to get more specific.

Basicly doing the bypass for the throttlebody and ISC? Loop the line, don't cap it.

why would i want to loop it? it would make it a pain in the ass to remove and install with that pipe still intact
