TB coolant bypass

**eXtreMX-6** · 7-14-03, 14:11

Heu everyone and hopefully someone who knows? I bored out my throttle body and ported my intake manifold and have the Pheno Spacers. But i have done lots of searching and found that it really would help to do a coolant bypass along with the spacers. Yet no one showed how to do it correctly. Can someone please Let me know the best way to go by this and where to find a "T" to connect the hoses? I cant find one that reduces enough to fit the three hoses. Thanks and pictures would really help or a diagram!

What 3 hoses, theres only two that you u them. Take one and have it go from the tb back into the tb, and the other from the head back into the head.

if you want to bypass them, remove one hose from the head. take the other hose end and put it on that tube. it should be a loop. the hose will come out of the head and then go directly back in.

Just go to Lowes or Home Depot and get yourself a tubing splicer, its like a ridged piece of metal that you connect a hose to each end and it holds them together. I used that on my Civic since there was some stupid thing that sent coolant to this metal pipe near the intake. I thought it was useless so I bypassed it and through out the metal thing.

I wouldn't advise doing that. I tried doing the same thing and by the end of the day when I got in my driveway, my Idle never returned back to it's normal low idle, just stayed at 1500RPM and wouldn't drop not a bit.

Actually the reason the coolant goes to the TB is to keep it from freezing. Its like that for a reason. I wouldn't **** with it.

quite a few people have done this and im not to afraid of it freezing. I dont know whats wrong with doing this?

Well suppose that is a decision you will have to make for your self based on the likely hood of it freezing up, IE what the wether is like whare you are..
