Throttle Body Coolant Bypass Mod


Recommended Posts

Has anyone done the coolant delete on the throttle body?

Apparently it's only there to prevent everything from freezing which wouldn't be an issue for most of us anyway.

Because it passes hot coolant through the throttle body apparently it increases the air temp by a bit. Saw some overseas forums where they measured a temperature drop after removing those coolant hoses.

Tempted to do the bypass myself.

 

Also thinking about putting on a turbo blanket and heat wrapping the downpipe for heat management.

Yep, did it ages ago, can't say if it makes much difference unless you also have phenolic spaces because your manifold just acts as a giant heatsink for the heads.

 

Can't remember exactly what was required, I think I just used a cheap plastic irrigation joiner from Bunnings?

ok sweet, yeah I think its pretty easy to do.

I might look into those manifold spacers if I ever need to unbolt the manifold for any reason. Makes sense if the intake manifold is aluminum it totally would act as a heat sink, never thought of that.

The manifold is never very hot to touch though... so can't be that much heat going into them.

 

Have you already got spacers? After a decent drive mine would be too hot to comfortably touch.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
