Is it possible to get more power if you take the coolant hoses off the tb and connect them away from the tb..therefore the hoses arent heating up the air thats passing threw?

 

Works on LT-1 350's, dont know if it works on EVO's.

remember to hook it back up in the winter so throttle does not freeze.

 

I have also heard of rotary's doing it

 

probably wont be a very noticeable gain. Depending on how much boost you're running, the intake air is warm already

 

foxbody stangs too.

 

i did it to my corolla but i really didnt notice any difference.

 

yea me too did it to my specv but barely any difference

 

1g and 2g DSM's did it too. Most likely not worth 8 hp, but it's good for giving idle surge in cold temps (to remind you to revert back if necessary) and arguably increases the life expectance of the stepper motor in the idle speed controller (ISC).

 

I have done this and didn't really notice any difference on the ol butt dyno, but I'm sure it didn't hurt either. I didn't revert back in the winter and was fine.

 

alright then..i probably not gonna waste my time.. thanks for the input

 

Most who do a full build do this. Every little bit helps I guess. I also doubt the 8hp

 

It may help but you probably wouldn't notice much

 

Interesting....Might help prevent knock

Only way to tell is to log before and after air temps wit evoscan and see if theres a decline

 

I've done this already as well. Can't really say I noticed a huge difference, but what I do notice is lack of that "warmed up car slow down".

Know how your car seems REALLY fast when it's just warming up? Just after the needle starts moving on the temp? Then when it's hot, it slows down a little. That's gone, because I believe there is no hot water circulating through the TB.

I dont drive that car in the winter, so I just leave it disconnected year round.

 

8 hp? more like 1 if ur lucky
