thanx

It keeps the TB from getting heated up by the coolent. It is a worthwhile mod for about 5hp or so. You will either need nothing more than a hose clamp or just a barb fitting. Not sure, but check out shbox.com

 

No hose barb is needed for 95-7.. only for 93-4..

 

hey guess what i am doin this saturday?????

 

hose barb? is that like just a 3/8" tube to connect the two coolant-to-throttlebody hoses? do you have to cut the hoses since they are long? anyone got a pic of this tb bypass on their car (94Z preferredd) thanks..im curious and wanna do it this weekend too

 

Great website, check it out.

 

Shoebox show's his 95. Is the procedure the exact same for a 94?

 

Like this for a 1994. Use a hose barb (union) where it says "hard line".

 

oh yeah I've seen that site before, absolute cake walk for 5 or 6 freed up ponies

 

does anyone ever have to cut the hoses to make them shorter? it seems to me there'd be a lot of excess hose if you dont..

 

So is the hose barb that you need 3/8"? No one answered this, so I want to know so I can do it after work today.

Yes. Don't forget there is a search button.

 

no its just unplug from the TB, and pop the hose barb between them and clamp the hoses on each side and your done. I watched my buddy do it in his LS1 and then saw a 96 Z28 done.

 

I cut mine, because I was afraid it would somehow get sucked into the radiator fans. It wasn't a big deal to me knowing I'd never undo the MOD.

 

95phoenix: a 96[and 95-7] don't need a 'hose barb' [only 93-4]
Lower: the fans blow toward the rear of the car they don't suck air in..
Trimming them didn't hurt, but not needed tho..
