good info

 

Just an FYI, for those of you worried that it will make the butterfly in the throttlebody stick when it gets cold. It has been in the low teens/single digit temps up here and I have had no issues w/ sticking at all

 

Same here, I have been running it ever since.

 

In order to actually cause the throttle plate to stick, you would have to maintain a constant throttle position for a long time. If you are constantly increasing and decreasing the throttle position, you are causing the plate to move. This does not give the plate a chance to stick. On an aircraft, the throttle is put in one position and may stay there for hours. This can cause the plate to stick. I think in an automotive application we are mostly OK removing the throttlebody coolant supply...

 

Good point.

 

Just did mine not a hard Mod at all.

 

can anyon eprove any benefit in doin this? does it actually increase HP???

 

all taken into consideration.....does it make any difference????

 

Well on the drive home and looking at the Wideband the car is Rich as hell before i would hold 11.5 at all times all the way to redline now with this mod it's 12.5 to 12.1 will be undoing it today.

 

That is actually a leaner a/f that you are seeing

 

will a flash be required? or is this as good as it seems to be?

 

I don't think a flash will be needed as the only thing that will be changing is the temperature of the air as it passes through the throttlebody. The gains will not be dramatic but for those people (myself included) who like doing free mods this one can't hurt.

 

You hit the nail on the head. This is an emissions device. Cold start vehicles emit a lot more pollutants into the atmosphere. The coolant help heat the engine up faster so fewer emmissions. It's like the older cars that had a hose coming from the exhaust manifold to the intake to bring in hot air.

 

I'm sure something else is amiss...

 

so noone k nows if it realy can make some more power, or not and how much?
