i found this pic that gives you an idea if anyone is looking to do a throttle body coolant bypass. i found it helpful so i hope it helps you guys.

Yes, I know this. That was the whole point of the external temp readings, if it was only a few deg of then why bother (and the bypassed TB was a pretty even temp, while the stock set up rose in temp), but a decent amount means I wouldnt mind investigating further. I've already started to look at some temp sensors and I have an old TB laying around that I can grind up and use as an adapter. I would love to put one in the plenum as well, but that would require an extra one (which I dont have).
But, like I said, I read that people say it works, or that its a waste of time, with no real way to back up either claim. Save for one I saw on LS1 Tech where a guy did benefit from it. Instead of taking a huge jump, getting it all set up, dyno, etc...Im going to do it in small steps and go from there. Maybe it works, maybe it wont, one way to find out. |
