Needed:
Needle nose pliers
2 inches of 3/8 copper tubing


First you'll want to remove the stock air-box and tube from the engine. After, locate your TB


Then look for the 2 rubber hoses that run to the bottom of the TB. These are the ones that we are gonna loop


Using needle nose pliers, squeeze the clamps and slide them down each tube several inches. Heres the Hard Part, getting these tubes off. Mine was a bitch, and resulted in bloody knuckles and cuts, but it was worth it. Basically, you want to lossen them cause when I got the top one off, Rad fluid just started flowin out like crazy, so make sure you have someone that can plug the hose for you while you do the other one


Once you got them both off, connect both hoses to the 3/8 tubing. You have completed the bypass by now


Use the stock clamps an slide over the rubber hose so it clamps down on the hose and copper tube. Locate it down under the TB so it's not in the way of anything. Thats it!

Heres where i found it-

What does it do?

 

I am guessing the throttle body heater heats the throttle up for cold starts, i for instance have no need for this living in southern texas. Seems like a good idea, i think i will do it this weekend.

 

actually, its there to keep the throttle body butterfly from freezing open and causing an accident or a blown motor. its safe to bypass it in warmer climates and seasons, but its a good idea to have it reconnected for colder weather.

 

Does it increase power?

 

I would guess so. Cooler intake temp usually means a small gain. I want to find out how much cooler it would actually make it. In regards, a couple of degrees isnt going to make that big of a difference.

 

I would guess this would help 1/10th as much as a hondata intake manifold spacer gasket, because its about 1/10 the size and runner distance of the intake manifold. for a free mod its worth it, but it most likely won't be noticeable.

 

I can't believe ppl are still doing this mod. It's retarded and doesn't help you at all.

 

i havent done it since i figured it wouldnt be noticable plus i dont like n****r rigged crap on my car.
