^ Those are the two tubes I'm supposed to be unplugging and splicing together, right? I know this is simple, but I just wanted to make sure and, better safe than sorry you know....

BTW, that blurry thing up top is my CAI to help identify the location.

HomesickAlien · July 1st, 2011, 12:54 AM

LOL, just saw that thread three threads down, probably should have looked before posting.

Sorry ; )

Daxenth · July 1st, 2011, 12:54 AM

SEARCH YOU ASS NEWB! lmao no. theres 2 little hoses. find the ports from the block, and connect them. and then put the tube on the ports of the TB. done

I DID SEARCH FOR LIKE AN HOUR DOUCHESNOZZLE!

I think those are the tubes though, you're just looking at then from a weird angle. In the 'how-to' those hoses are not connected and the copper ports exposed in the pictures. I was just makin sure....

Daxenth · July 1st, 2011, 01:14 AM

lmfao im kidding bro. but yeah thats how mine is. one hose going from block to block and one from tb to tb

HomesickAlien · July 1st, 2011, 01:14 AM

I can get better pics with my CAI off, just didn't feel like takin it off and was getting this prepped to do tomorrow....

Yeah, that's where those two hoses go I'm pretty sure.

Daxenth · July 1st, 2011, 01:17 AM

you could go do it now.. lol it will literally take you 5 min if you can reach around your CAI

Fadin out....

Daxenth · July 1st, 2011, 01:57 AM

i just told you lol theres 2 hoses. both run from the block to the throttle body.

take one hose off completely. and connect the end of another hose back to the engine. would you like a pic of what im talking about?

YES PLEASE!

Because I'm a dumbass and that's completely different from the method in the 'How-to'.

lmao message me for your number. i dont have time to upload it to pb and copy paste it. im about to leave for work

Alain0124 · July 1st, 2011, 08:10 PM

well what i did was disconnect those two hoses and connect them together. then i plugged the ports on the tb. super easyyy and great upgrade. i actually did my throttle body bypass today, at low rpms not much of a difference but, at 6000-7000 rpms you can feel the major difference.

Haha, yeah I did mine today too with dax's help through text message. I'd basically send him a pic and he'd tell me 'ok take that off' then another pic and he'd say ' now plug that down there'....pretty unorthodox, but it worked like a charm ; ).

Thanks again bro!

The car is running like a dream, by the way ; )

I noticed it was redlining a little faster tonite. Definitely not in my head either -- would the TB bypass help with that?
I did unplug my battery during the procedure also, so there's that -- but I don't recall increased torque and quicker redlined being s side effect of that, any of the thirty billion times I've done it. But either way my car was DEFINITELY redlining quicker than normal tonite....NICE! ; )

Heck, I hated to even park her she was running so good -- so I took her on a little 40-mile WOT trip through the backwoods of North Carolina for being such a good girl ; )

FeaRlezZ · July 2nd, 2011, 08:14 AM

lol 6 - 7000 rpms is the only area u feel a difference. . i hope what homesickalien is saying is true instead. . . wuteva im still doing it just to reduce heat on the throttle

....exactly?

I feel like I was getting from around 5500 to 6000-6500 a little sooner than normal. And like I said I just reset me ECU to so it could be either. Either way my car is running great, and ANY heat you can reduce in this four-banger is a HUGE help -- it's an absolute killer to this engine.

FeaRlezZ · July 2nd, 2011, 10:15 AM

your not actually reducing heat in the engine bay . . all u r doing is moving the hose so the heat is not directly on the throttle body

I'm aware.

But thanks for clearing that up for anyone who DOESN'T know what they're talking about ; )

FeaRlezZ · July 2nd, 2011, 10:39 AM

lol no problem

Daxenth · July 2nd, 2011, 12:06 PM

lol like i said before, every little bit helps. and dont worry about the shit they say about it in winter. im in ohio where it hit a bone chilling -17 with snow up to my bumper. and she fired up just fine

HomesickAlien · July 2nd, 2011, 12:53 PM

You're wasting good popcorn Dax, you should know I'm not gonna bite such poorly rigged bait ; )

adamcky90 · July 16th, 2011, 02:23 AM

ok..sorry to bump this, but I dont want to start a new thread..but what exactly does the TB bypass do? I know it keeps the fuel cooler and all that. Should I put it back to stock in the winter time?

Mattman · July 16th, 2011, 11:19 AM

If you read 6-8 post above you will find your answer....

There is also a link in those post above that brings you to ANOTHER page that has instructions AND an explanation.

Not COMPLETELY sure how, but you're damn welcome.

brum · August 8th, 2011, 05:09 PM

Hey, how exactly did you do this without the barbed coupler? I'm trying to understand it without pics but it's pretty hard :S.

trevroar · August 8th, 2011, 05:33 PM

Visualize this....

1st: Remove both hoses from the throttle body. Now you have two hoses loose.

2nd: Follow one of the hoses down, you will see it attached with a spring clamp. remove that hose all together. doesn't matter which one.

3rd: Now you have one hose, your goal is to connect it from where you removed the other hose. You are going to need to cut that hose to just long enough to reach. Once you cut it, use one of the spring clamps and connect it to the lower nipple.

4th: Your done! You don't need to to do anything with the two nipples on the TB.

Using a barb will make this much easier, when you do the mod using the method above, you are reaching into small spaces which makes it that much harder to do

HomesickAlien · August 8th, 2011, 05:56 PM

I dunno, I think the one hose method that I did is easier than the barbed coupler thingie. Unless you have like Shrek hands or something. It's also free....

HomesickAlien · August 8th, 2011, 06:00 PM

Also I used the extra hose to seal the two open nipples on the throttle body. Don't know if it matters, but figured it couldn't hurt. Maybe it'll keep the butterfly from getting as dirty or something.

I'd like to think I did SOMETHING productive ; )

snakeeyes · August 8th, 2011, 06:04 PM

that would be something wouldnt it.keeping the butterfly clean via capping the tb tubes where antifreeze use to go ?? lmao.

trevroar · August 8th, 2011, 06:11 PM

Just a cavity as far as I know, the pic isn't for our applications, but you get the idea
