WHat do you guys think? Is this for real or just another gimmic?

TB Bypass Kit

[felonyr301]

I'm not entirely sure about this but just look at the horsepower gain

8 HP increase on a ebay item that's all I'm gonna say LOL...

[MIC0417]

The theory is interesting

Don't waste your $.

[Creeps228]

im not going to buy this, i was jus wondering what you guys think, because im not familiar with this

Is there really a coolant line running to the TB?

[Maim Menu]

Yes there's a coolant line on the TB, there might even be two I'm not entirely sure

[uibalnme]

Yes, there is a coolant line running into the TB. I think it's supposed to help the engine warm up faster in colder climates. If you still want to do the bypass mod, go to any place that sells air tools, and buy a hose repair kit. That ebay thing is basically this...

So, don't waste your money on that ebay "bypass kit", just get a hose repair kit. Remove the 2 coolant lines from the TB, plug the TB coolant ports, and use the hose repair kit to connect the 2 coolant hoses together. simple as that.

I think somebody needs to dyno this. My thought currently is that it's a cool concept, but won't the heat from the motor just reach the TB anyway through the intake metal?

[bigbird]

wanna try it? just look at the pic and just get the parts they have there. dont buy that shit cuz its 99.9% bogous.

And a CAI adds around 35 HP. Do both, along with the eletric S/C and you'll gain around 80WHP, ah haha, ugh. Fuck ebay.

[Creeps228]

LOL i wasnt going to buy this hell naw, to tell you the truth i didnt kno there was even a cooler line to the TB
but who is willing to try this? I mean i would but i dont have the time

[midnightmach]

Hmm looks like it could work wouldn't gain 8HP but im sure it will keep your ait a bit cooler. I'm going to look into doing this on my car.

[Creeps228]

let us kno if there is any difference if you do go and plan on doing this

[Eye8Pussies]

I've done this to my car for quite a while now.

One reason was because then it's a lot less hassle to take the TB off since you don't have to worry about leaking coolant everywhere. And also, in theory, it can keep the temperature at the Tb down.

The general idea for the coolant line going there is to help warm up the air charge when it's freezing out. BUT by the same token, some people say that it can also help keep the heat down a bit theoretically when the car is hot and the intake plenum is pretty much burning to touch. But personally, I still think that the coolant temp will always be hotter than the intake plenum temp that will transfer to the TB anyway. But that's also part of the argument for TB spacers- that they keep the TB cooler by separating it from the plenum. But that's a different story.


On the bypass- I've had it for years with no problems. Word has it that it is indeed a good "mod" if you do repeated runs on the track/dyno, etc. since the coolant then does heat up the TB. But in a real-world situation, it's pretty much next to no effect. And on that note, my car hasn't had problems in the cold up here in Toronto either.

As for the actual kit there- waste of money. For a couple of bucks to less than 5, you can pick up a dual male end hose connector and just use that.
