Re: TB Bypass

I saw a dynograph somewhere where it was like 2rwhp. It's on a guy who did a whole bunch of this modificaton vs. stock dynos. I trust it...

I also don't have it...but do it and add it to your sig like everyone else, but I doubt you need it in yours

Re: TB Bypass

Since it's such an easy 5 minute thing to do, I would just do it (I did many years ago)..... and IMO, there's really no good reason to heat a throttle body with scaulding hot water which can also add slightly more heat to the intake manifold overall...... Some guys don't recomend to do it if your in sub zero degree temps, but even then, I haven't seen a problem with a sticking throttle body blade......Every little bit counts.......ten little mods that can't be felt just by themselves still add up

Re: TB Bypass

Anything that will help cool the incoming air has to be worth some kind of power.

Re: TB Bypass

Re: TB Bypass

Just FYI many times 1 hp would cost between $20 to $100! This mod would cost less then $5 and gain at least 5 HP! Thats $1 for 1 HP you really can't beat it

Re: TB Bypass

Not sure why the picture of the 94 was posted, but the bypass is different on a 93/94 (3/8" hose barb required - cost = $1) and on 95-97 cars (no parts required - cost = "0").

Re: TB Bypass

Was a pain in the butt to get the hose off but other then that, a really simple easy mod. I would recommend doing it. 6 free hp, the question is why wouldn't you do it?
