I noticed a lot of you guys are running a tb coolant bypass. The previous owner put a hypertech tb on this car... "94 Z 28" . What are the advantages of doing this mod. Thanks.

 

what your basically doing is rerouting your coolant so it doesn't pass through your throttle body, this is supposed to let the air coming in cooler, as hot coolant was raise the temp of incoming air, hence netting you some horsepower.

 

That makes sence. Is it a kit you buy or can you just bypass the lines?

 

What year car?

Why not make a signature with details on your car so we can zero in on the best advice? Not all LT-1's are the same.....

 

No need to buy anything..it's just rerouting the tb lines..here's a link that might help you..http://shbox.com/1/tb_bypass.jpg

no kit, just need the right fitting to connect the hoses

 

jlo ya beat me to it haha

 

Thanks bw hunter. I'm new to this so I'm still trying to figure out how the site works. Just made a signature.

 

Thanks for the help guys!!!

 

Nice try ... but the hose routing on his 94 is different than the 95-97 routing that Shoebox shows. For 93/94 you need to pull the two hoses off the throttle body and connect them together with a 3/8" barbed hose connector. On the 93/94 engines, the return from the steam pipe at the back of the heads goes directly to the radiator, not to the throttle body.

i'm an idiot, i juz did this 2 months ago lmao

 

hello there, i have a 94 too,after doing that mod did it make a difference on the cooling and give u a little more horsepower to your camaro.thank u

 

The difference is documented in the dyno chart I linked. You aren't going to feel a 6HP increase. And the "cooling" is cooler air into the intake manifold. There is no way to actually tell if its cooler, since the IAT sensor is before the throttle body.

 

quick response back Fred thank u

 

I did this mod and no you will not feel any difference however, my car does seem to run a little happier
