Is this worth doing? Any HP gain what so ever? Any down side to this?

 

Basically people do this mod because you can then add it to your sig... !tb.

 

well there have been dyno results to show it saves you horsepower. It doesn't actually make hp, it keeps you from losing it. try www.ws6.com. I believe it saved 6 rwp. I say do it, just don't add it to your sig.

 

I'm gonna give it a try. But I'm too lazy to add to my sig.

 

from what i haev takien in from this TB bypass, is that it when ur engine is still cold it does nothing but when ur engine gets warm it does lose any hp form the tb geting hot, which in return gives u 6-8 hp. i say do it

 

Cant hurt unless your in a cold weather climate. I wouldnt do it in the winters up North. Obviously not a problem here in Florida

 

I'm in TN. Very few times its got 0 or below.

 

that'd be deleting the t/b
we don't want to do that

yea, i think people in the northern states have done it and have had no problems
so you'll be fine

 

I've run my car in 0degF weather here in NJ with no evidence of "throttle body icing". I think the system was designed for people living north of the Arctic Circle.

 

I've never had a car with a TB heater, and i froze the water in the block on my Mustang a few winters ago (no antifreeze) and the TB still didnt stick. I have no idea how in the hell it would stick.

 

In theory, its the moisture in the air ( = humidity) that can condense on cold parts and start to freeze. Doesn't seem to be a realistic concern.

 

Espescally since my skin is starting to fall off from this DRY, cold weather.

 

The TB bypass was the first thing I did to my car. I'd had the car for 3 days, ended up stuck at school with a gallon of coolant sitting on the ground under the car. Somehow the collant line got schredded by the alternator fan. Talk about embarassing. But I'd do it again, my sig looks much better now.

 

There's not much in my sig, but if I had to add it, it would read TB Coolant Delete. Even if I what to use the coolant to warm the TB I couldn't because there isn't anything to hook the hoses to. How does, "TB 4mm over bore" sound?

 

I did it to my car, at the same time I installed a 1LE elbow, new gaskets on top and bottom and intake side of the TB, and thorougly cleaned the TB with it off ...

It ran noticably better but I don't know if it was the TB bypass I did It can't hurt to do it!
