bypass TB heating?

if you change the temperature of the air after the air temp sensor, surely the mixture is going to be wrong and cause unpredictable running.

Anyway cooling it with water from the cars cooling system you cannot use a feed from the expansion tank as that is hot!
You would have to come off from the bottom hose out of the radiator.

what are you implying?

Also, where can I get the caps to block off the TB ends, or what can I use to block them off?

Why do you need to plug anything?

and yes i agree that the temp sensor is as the airbox so it wont be perfect

Well I thought this idea was about COOLING! Well you cant do that with HOT water!

Plus the TB is at the back of the engine and you will be fighting against the hottest part ie the exhaust manifold.

there is already coolant pipes running to the TB to warm it, i have removed them + by passed the coolant straight to the expansion tank from the front of the block, maybe there is a different setup on other engines.
BTW took about 3.5 mins with just a leatherman so not a difficult mod

Only air/vacuum hoses on my TB!

so thats why you didnt understand, i just thought it was your blue lights

axewielder, did you notice any difference?
