bypassing the t-body coolant lines may be a good thing to do in the summer time, since when coolant goes thru the t-body, it actually heats up the t-body.... therefore the air coming in will most likely get heaksoaked as well.

I did this little trick mod in my B18C motor and the side effects were longer warm-up times in the winter, poorer fuel mileage, but yes, I might give ya 1-2 hp....haha

As for the EVO, I probably wont bother doing this mod, the gains are minimal I imagine, and I dont drive a Honda anymore...
