someone was telling me that the tc's have hot water running through the throttle body, and that this water serves no purpose wat so ever, and that if you do a throttle body bypass to remove the water from being in the throttlebody, that you can improve horsepower because the air going in the throttlebody is not heated by the hot water....

i have never heard of this and was wondering if anyone else has?

 

hes a retard!

 

no he isn't a retard, its a proven fact that air has to be cool to be effective. so if being efficient is retarded you should just give up on modding altogether. but even in a small way heating the throttle body would make the air being induced warmer.

but i guess in some circles putting "PHAT" rims on your car and shiny things that make it "BLINGING" is how you make it faster or even more efficient. than i want out now....

the issue here is that just like the egr valve and return hose, the water line running through your throttle body actually helps your engine get to temp faster and that's a big deal during the winter. but in the summer it really isn't too important.

you could theoretically make a valve on the stock line and than a spitter that bypasses the original line and goes back to the coolant line. so you could switch it manually depending on the weather. this way you can have the original setup as well as the altered bypass.

hope this helps

 

logically it would improve horsepower, but on our cars it doesnt just for the simple reason that the air going through your throttle body will only make contact for a split second not enought to cause heat....on older v8s tho it did wonders ive seen up to 10 hp just because their thrittle bodies are much larger and air flow is less

 

than don't do it, but to call someone an retard for giving out legitimate info is just wrong.

and i personally believe every little thing helps, and to overlooks something few people have tried on the tc just sounds stupid because someone thinks it wont help.

and air doesn't technically make contact. your throttle body is constantly "radiating" heat. and it is in an enclosure to boot. just because you assume its getting cold air doesn't mean it is. so why wouldn't removing a constant flow of hot coolant make it colder.

and since not only that but the air has to travel through your throttle body, than your intake manifold, than through the head how do you seriously think that it couldn't help to reduce a source of heat.

and i btw dont think this is a horsepower mod.

i mean really.....

 

The reason for this is to prevent the throttle plate from sticking in freezing temperatures. There is no power to be gained from bypassing the throttlebody so just leave it alone.

 

lol.... duh!

i was assuming we were talking about the reason to bypass it, but whatever i guess the point was lost amongst the nay-saying.

don't like an opinion that's fine, guess your just going to have to deal with it.

 

There is no reason to bypass it...

 

who said there was. questions towards the latter were the reasons this post was made, but since you want to indulge people with nothing to say logically be my guest, your only supporting ignorance.

not in refference to you cburglb34 you made a good point.

 

You did as soon as you starting talking about ways to do it hahaha

 

oh wow you totally poned me with your circular argument oh my god your so awesome.

get a clue

 

cmon post something else intelligent, lol

 

E=MC squared muthafuka!

 

scuds im confused as to why you would just put this down and give zero reason why....

the only reason the hot fluid goes through there is for cold climates to help heat the engine faster... it takes literally 10 to 15 minues to bypass this away from the throttle body.... it only makes sense that if you remove incredibly hot liquid from contacting the incoming air, that you would improve hp... even if it is slightly, by having cooler air

 

lol omfg hahaha! thats good man, me likey

 

we are stupid because we know nothing. locked.
