Tb

[high c]

I was board today, so I just started playing with my car, I took of the TB and hade a moment. I have a "custom" cold air intake for my gen 2 camry and as the cold air comes into my TB it is meet be a hotter then hell throttle body because of the ATF that I going throw it. so I just took of the to lines and stuck them to gather as for the TB, I went out and got a container and an old windshield washer squatter compressor and put it together in the hopes so pumping ice water throw the vanes in the TB. It worked well for a short time until the compressor shit the bed. Did I just waste my time or did I accomplish something? next the EGR!

vanes?

Bro I am sorry but... what the hell are you saying? I think I deciphered that you wanted to cool your TB so you disconnected the coolant lines and tried to rig a self cooling thing. OK, screw that idea. If you live where winter is cold then leave it stock or you'll have problems during winter. If not then you can just leave it open to free air, either way it won't make a performance difference. The air flows through their at such a high rate of speed that the surface contact in that 3 or 4 inch area is minimal and your engine will not suffer. BTW, don't try the "Racing Chip Mod!" with the resistor or the electric turbo or any of those other scammer ideas, they are BS. Good luck with your car and stay away from BORO Racing.

the tb itself dosen't have any coolant running through it

the intake pleanum does (i think)

and since its in direct contact its going to get a bit hot yes, but not rediculously hot, its not near an exhaust manifold

and the only vane that goes through the tb is the iddle throttle bypass,

Coolant / antifreeze runs through the TB not ATF (auto transmission fluid).

Yes it does.

Theres 3 hoses on the bottom of the TB. 1 for air and 2 for coolant (in & out).

I'll post a pic of it later on.

i've taken mine off, just the tb, not the intake pleanum

and i've never noticed coolant hoses
