Another ebay thing I found.

I thought I read that you could do the mod yourself, but is there any benefits to the kit..

Thanks

 

just do it yourself. buy a piece of tubing long enough so the hoses will both mate up to it. the kit is just that. Its just a pre cut section.

It wont even give close to a hp. maybe .25 lbft of torque after the motor is hot compared to having hot coolant in the tb

 

what years ur car ?

95-97 u just have to take the hose from the throttle body and re-route it to the metal tube on the passenger side of the intake. Kinda hard to expalin without pics tho

or not...here ya go

93-94 u can use that bypass kit or make ur own

 

all I bought was a barb to connect the 2 hoses together

 

LT1 throttle body bypass dyno test = +6HP:

Double ended hose connector, two screw band hose clamps.

$3.99 at your Mom and Pop Hardware store.

Done.

Just bring a piece of hose with you, or measure it to make sure you get the right sized connector...but I think it may be 3/8"...it has been a while since I've done this though.

 

I've seen these kits popping up alot, some costing even more then that ebay listing. Its a shame considering there is practically nothing involved other them some hose to do the modification.

 

I agree, do it yourself at the hardware store.
I had some stuff left over from my B&M tranny cooler and used that.
Thanks B&M.

 

Yeah, costs like 4 dollars tops, you don't even need to buy hose.

 

it cost me $6 cause I bought a metal fitting

 

It cost me a total of zero dollars to do the mod. All I did was take the return hose and send it to where the supply hose came from. I did spend a dollar to get some rubber caps to put on the fittings just to keep anything from getting in there, not that there's a huge chance of that happening anyway.
