I was wondering if was hard to make your own throttle body bypass kit? Is it as simply as buying a coolant hose matching the entry and exit hoses of the throttle body, then connecting them, or do I need to do other things involving electrical sensors etc. How simple is this?

 

Do it yourself.All you need is a 3/8 double hose barb connector.Simply connect the two lines together.

 

plus acouple of hose clamps..... Cost about 3 bucks...

 

I did it with a little piece of 3/8" diameter copper tubing I got from the hardware store, plus two hose clamps... Total cost: <$3

 

Thanks for the advise!

 

Does anyone have a website that tells you step by step how to do this, w/ pictures preferably?

 

I dont have pics, but if you look at the thottle body with the rubber elbow removed, you will see 3/8 lines on the left and right sides that connect near the bottom... Those lines have radiator fluid flowing though the bottom section of the thottle body... Its to allow the air to warm up and help with emissions, and some people say cold starts..

Just remove the two line, be careful there is fluid in them, use a rag under the TB before disconnecting... And use the parts listed earlier, connecting the lines together..... This allows for the air to remain alittle cooler entering the intake.... Hence alittle more power....

Hope this helps....

 

Ya I found the page, thanks for giving me the warning about the fluids. I'll probably do this later

 

TB bypass

I used this one, it was really helpfull.

 

93s and 94s need the coupler, 95-97s do not. Just do it like this. Very simple.

 

Will there be any coolant left in the throtle body and how do you get it out?
