Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

honestly if you are somewhat mechanically inclined and have a little time, draining the coolant, taking the throttle body and intake manifold off isnt too hard and you can bypass both the throttle body and intake manifold ports and get even better results!

heres a quick torque screen shot from this morning. speed was about 60mph

also... i have the stock cold and hot pipes... cold pipe should be on the way from X soon and i am part of batch #3 for the new hot pipe
That looks great, do you have the logs of that run? I'd love to see it.
 
sorry no logs... honestly in the year i've owned the torque app thats the 3rd time ive used it... the first 2 times were to clear a CEL on my car and then a 2nd time to clear a CEL on a friends car after we fixed an oil pressure sender.

it took me 10mins to figure how to change it from C* to F* lol...

my dash said 70* out this morning so im assuming the torque app is hitting really close to actual... i want to add RPM and speed to this screen so when i screen shot it'll have more data if people have questions...

also right after that screen shot, i went to 65mph and it dropped to 87degrees...

now that i actual know somewhat how to use this app ill probably try a few things... maybe wrap my intake pipe and see if that makes a difference...

makes me wonder if getting some of that gold reflective tape and then taking the intake manifold off and putting the gold reflective tape on the underside of the intake manifold would help shield heat from the block... and it would still be steathy
This thread should help figuring out torque app.

So if I'm reading this thread correctly, all I need to do is buy one of these and two clamps, then burp the system?
Don't we also need fuel hose?

Oh i just saw that post. Looks like you're right.
 
Just ordered mine, gonna pollish it up when it drops, get all the tools/materials ready and try and do it next week.
 
my mother has thought about trading her 2.0 soul in, i thought about switching my TB to her car prior to her trading in..... i dont think whom ever she traded her car to would ever notice lol
Haha, it'd take quite a gear head to notice. Lol.
