amit 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 how about this one. I read this (yet again!). Apparently keeps the intake temperature cooler, so there isnt any hot coolant running through. Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 yep, I can vouch for that! mine is loads cooler now just join the 2 hoses going into the TB together and secure them..... I'll take a pic of what I did tomorrow, it's a neat job! Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 tbh Id plug them back in during the winter months and keep it as a summer mod Link to post Share on other sites
amit 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 so what would happen if the mod was done in winter. For example like today? Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 im totally guessin here but would it mean it takes longer for the engine to get up to temp?? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 eat this... no it wouldntamit... Im pretty sure one of the reasons those coolant hoses are there is to keep the tb from icing up Link to post Share on other sites
